REAL SQUATS O-M-G

Deby Posts: 333 Joined: 2002/08/05	2003/06/27, 09:08 AM I did REAL squats for the first time last night. OMG!!! I have been doing them using an exercise ball, on a machine where the bar is stabilized and on the (I think I have the right name) Smith machine. But last night I did the real ones!!! I only used the barbell with no weights but that was enough!!! Can't wait til my next lower body night!!! -------------- Gramma

Keep at it, gets even better! LOL.. -------------- As far as genetics go, the skies the limit. You are limited only by your mental perception of it. Ron
Deby Posts: 333 Joined: 2002/08/05	2003/06/27, 01:17 PM That is sure true! I am feeling it in my arms too from holding the bar!!! I am still intimidated by all of those free weights though. Hopefully, that area will get easier for me. -------------- Gramma
