Work Out Wednesday – Squats

The Who, What, Where, When & Why of my fitness regime













Sumo Squats

This week, I’m highlighting another exercise that I rely heavily on – The Squat.  This particular exercise has already made many appearances in my WOW posts, and is a big part of the work outs I complete each week. 


Due to the activation of more than one joint and muscle, this exercise is classified as a compound exercise.  When factored into a weight training program, squats five you fast gains in size and strength.  A sumo squat, is a variation to the regular squat.

*Begin with your heels shoulder width apart. 

*Engage the glutes, and pull your bellybutton into your spine.  

*Keep your weight pressing down through the heels, and your knees behind your toes, as you lower yourself down into position.

Now you’ve got the hang of it, why not take on something like the Sumo Squat Step Up Challenge?!?
