Queen of Squats Workout

This squats workout is the last workout for the week long squat challenge of 1000 squats, and this fun workout has the last 200 reps. For this one you alternate doing 20 reps of squats with different bodyweight exercises. Mostly bodyweight that is, there are 2 Swiss ball exercises to change it up and make it a little more fun. I will give alternatives for if you don’t have a Swiss ball. I thought this was a really great workout to break up the squats and make them go by fast. The whole workout seemed to go by fast and it is another great way to get lots more squats into your life and shape those legs and butt!

Hamstring Curls with Swiss ball – Do a Bridge exercise instead. Here is a One Leg Bridgeexercise with feet elevated (you can elevate or not), do 20 reps on each leg or have both legs down on ground or elevated and do 20 reps total.
