22 years ago my sister was doing a body shaping /building competition for beginners. Her trainer had her do 30 squats, 30 pushups and 80 sit ups everyday --as well her weight and cardio work out . In solidarity I did the daily exercizes with her. That was 22 years ago and I STILL do those 3 exercizes 6 days a week ( as well as other work outs). I am now up to 50 push ups and squats, and 120 sit ups.These three exercizes work your entire body, so if you do nothing else, at least do some squats, pushups and sit ups almost daily! This video is great!
your legs and ass grew doing the same movement every day? then you are a freak of nature because there needs to be time allotted for the rest and growth phase.
I can hardly do 20 squats coz I've been bedridden for almost 3 years. Right now I'm trying to walk every day and trying to do squats too. I'll keep trying 👍💪
well.. I made it all with workout videos. so basically overnight.. i just found 2 videos to to daily for the rest of my life, done. for the healthy lifestyle just follow the food pyramid that I learned in school. that's all folks
I am 55 and found your video so motivational that I managed to complete 100 squats (50 with dumbbells and 50 without) while watching this video. I am into exercise mode for last couple of years and loving this phase of mine, of course with profound and evident positive effects on me!
I have an autoimmune disease and my legs became weak. As I have finally added regular squats my endurance has improved quickly. I have a way to go, but am happy to see almost next day improvement, and I'm not at 100 per day yet!
My legs were always the strongest part of my body. Weakness in my legs was one of many symptoms which led me to an autoimmune diagnosis. Squatting and crouching is part of my job, and my weakness is noticeable and I'm in my late 40s. I'm making it a goal to squat every day.
I reversed diabetes by going whole food plant based and no more fatty liver and lost 10 kg. Also doing 105 squats a day, 15 at a time x 7 spread over the day. Bending up and down is easy and muscle strength has increased. I'm 57 and blood pressure 115-65
I had a pretty bad knee injury and couldn’t do any squats or lunges for months. Part of my recovery before I got to squats and lunges was strengthening my core, and doing them with a yoga ball against a wall. I am fully recovered. The key is not to fully stop, even if you can only do upper body and core, do that. Thanks for the video!
@@dcgaara890 There are soooo many core strengthening exercises, some of which you can use your knees… I usually do 45-min rounds 3-4 times a week. Planks are a really good start, mountain climbers, windshield wipers, bird dogs, flutter kicks, hip rises, side bends with dumbbells… From the floor, back flat on the floor you can do leg raises, making sure your back doesn’t arch and stays flat on the ground, reverse crunches are a good one too. There are so many. The main thing, for me, with my bad knee was to be sure I wouldn’t even kneel. But, there is a lot that you can do to stay in shape, or get in shape, even with bad knees. Don’t give up! :-)
@@dcgaara890 You might view Miranda Esmonde White with Aging Backwards videos. I love them - short and low impact, but work every part of the body with balance and strength.
i started doing squats two weeks ago, and after watching this video i realized i was not doing it right and my knees were hurting because of it, i was wondering why my knees started to hurt that they didn't has this ever happened to me. I’ll start doing correctly from tomorrow 😊thanks for sharing the video ❤
My favourite movement. In tears with sadness when I performed my last set of squats ever (2014) the day before my right knee replacement. The left one has been screaming for a good 3 years now but managing to hold out. 66 years old now and as an ex NABBA competitor, I trained 'old school'. Two lots of wraps on each knee. Although we were mostly all monsters in those bad old days I will admit to it being the very best of times. A very serious car accident put an end to my involvement on the stage but my ex wife of 34 years ago went on to compete at Miss universe standard. In those days we rubbed shoulders with some of the greats of that period. Sat opposite Arnie at dinner after his seminar at Wembley arena - Sergio - Zane - Bertil Fox - My great friend Bill Richardson who finally won top spot in 78 - Jefferson King - the amazing performer Vince Brown....The amazing junior Andy Hornby who sadly passed all too soon plus so many more friends. I never gave the gym up even though my body was just a little broken. Passed knowledge and experience to the noobs for many many years until we moved to France 2 years ago. Some of them went on to do really well with Nabba and IFBB. Still keeping in touch by email with the loveliest of people Lance Dreher who taught me a new way to train due to the physical constraints caused by the accident. 3 sets of 100 reps ea set starting light to medium to heavy to REALLY heavy broken down as follows - 50 30 12 & 8 counted as one set due to only resting 40 secs between each. Watched all your vids and thoroughly enjoyed them each and every one of them. Fantastic knowledge in giving the inexperienced and intermediate great advice regarding Biomechanics and Kinesiology. Wow do I wish I had that time again with you bright young things and the incredible knowledge of the science you incorporate behind this sport. I genuinely wish you the very best of success with your channel. Fantastic !! Subscribed !
Jim, Thank you for your post. Very moving and I wish you all the best. I also suggest you take a look at Ben Patrick, The Knees over Toes Guy. I'm 59, and Bens teaching has helped me to rehab a knee that the doctor told me just the get a shot of Cortisone if I planned to do a lot of walking such as on vacation. My knee is not perfect, yet, but it is not causing the pain it used to and I can jog and snow ski again without being in pain for the following week. God bless you and your family!
were you driving too fast idiots to show off your fancy car ? serves you right. people like YOU are a menace on the roads. not so invincible now are we?
I have been searching for someone to advocate the body squat on UA-cam etc and now I have found it. It is indeed a wonderful safe and beneficial exercise that I have been carrying out for a long time. I have never been an advocate of barbell squats as there are significant risk of injury when doing barbell squats due to far to heavy weight loading and bad form, as an alternative use hand dumbbells at your sides if you feel you need additional resistance. Get vid many thanks.
I'm a 24-year-old man from the Ozarks region of Missouri. Exercising, such as running and yoga, has been one of my hobbies for several years. After watching this video, sometimes I take the time to at least do one set, but preferably two, of 50 squats in a day. When that is done, I can really feel the tiring sensation on my upper legs! It feels great! I just now completed my third set of 50 squats. I did the first two before getting ready for work this morning and just before running in the sun this afternoon.
I’m 62, and twice a week I dead lift about 200 pounds, three sets of six. I really like how those are strengthening my gluteus muscles. I feel much stronger these days. Today, an off-day for weight training, for the first time I did four sets of 25 squats without any added weight. I think if I do 100 squats on three days, along with the two days doing dead lifts, that should be really good for all the muscles mentioned in the video. Adelante!
Me too. But i started doing a few a day and have worked my way up to 3 sets of 15. Start by going just a little low and build your way up to getting to parallel. Age makes it a little harder but a lot more important. Good luck
I had a knee replacement in December. Before this I have avoided them like the plague. My physical therapist really pushes them, and I have really gained strength and pain relief from them.
Which types of squats do you prefer? Watch the 2nd part of this video: ua-cam.com/video/WJTRAG_aHYg/v-deo.html New video about barbell squats: ua-cam.com/video/V2MAx0z_QZ8/v-deo.html
I do yoga style squats. Breathing and slowly lowering to a full squat, breathing and slowly coming up. So powerful, and does not hurt the back as long as I keep tailbone pointing to floor and chest lifted, tummy in and weight on heels.
as far as I'm concerned there isn't a favorite squat exercise, it depends on what you want to achieve, on how you physically get to the workout, on what "amount" of work you are ready to face. For example, also perform the squat (with a load of 20Kg) with eccentric work (ie "breaking the descent into three steps maintaining the position for 5 seconds") until reaching the position of maximum flexion of the legs (for example 90 degrees). the ascent must be carried out "explosively" until the end of the repetition with the pelvis aligned with the trunk and the thigh area and contracted buttocks the weight of the exercise will be discharged on the heels, look up and torso out throughout the execution of the repetition
I am 64 and do 100 squats 3 times a week when I am at my part time job. Since I started this routine my body has become stronger. I have to be very conscious of my form or my knees will hurt the next day. Your video validated correct form and the value in doing squats to keep strong. Thank you. Very helpful
Thank you for this. I am doing a weight training program with a trainer and will add this to my daily routine. I love weight training, wish I had started it years ago. I am over weight and 62 and so excited to find something I enjoy and seeing results. ❤

I am a martial artist and have been doing a version of squats, we call rabbit jumps. It is like the jump squat, however we bring our knees up as high as we can, as we cover distance...ie. jump up and down the floor. I have been doing them for 50 years. I usually do 2 or 3 sets of 35 squats.
For me, starting is always the hardest part, but once I begin, I always realize how glad I am that I managed to motivate myself to do it. :) I always feel so much better after I've finished. I also try to give people a bit of motivation (on my Channel) to take that first, hardest step because they definitely won't regret it. Many blessings!
100 squat kicks 3 times per week. 50 with alternating forward kicks. 50 with alternating back kicks. Careful to use good form, core tight and eyes straight ahead. To increase difficulty, I am now doing them on a LifePro Vibration Plate programmed for variable speeds. Great for balance and coordination also!
800-1200 squats a day for me. Here's why: I'm a Ring Fit addict. My fellow Ring Fit players know that the game includes TONS of squats. I've been playing the game for a couple of years, and after beating the game 3 times I decided it would be fun to do my 4th playthrough of the game using just the squats. I loved it. I'm on my 6th playthrough now and I've been doing 800-1200 squats a day for seven months. One time I messed up my knees and couldn't do squats for 6 weeks, but then I went right back to it once my knees healed. I do squats outside of the game, too, because you can't do weighted squats in Ring Fit while holding the ring. I do most of my squats during Ring Fit, and I do squats with weights outside of the game. Haven't gotten any thinner from it. It takes more than just squats to get thinner.
I've been doing this now about a week, I've noticed a difference. I had a total knee replacement five years ago. I don't want to attempt the use of additional weight attempting squats. In High School...... MANY YEARS AGO, I played football, wrestled and squatted 650#! Those days are a distant memory, but I always knew how well squats worked. Obviously they work! Just look at these young, fit women on this video. Not to sound like a commercial but....."JUST DO IT"! Dare yourself to get off your ass AND START SHOWING IT OFF!!
I love these tips. I didnt know doing squats had so many benefits. I am working mom plus i have a four year old so its hard for me to find time to excercise. Squats i can fit in everyday
I used to love doing squats, but I already have a pretty high metabolism, and then with squats, pfft. So for those of you who suffer from constipation, squats can really do the trick.
❤ 05.12.2023. I am 78 from 🇮🇳 last semester 2023. I have a bypass surgery at sterling hospital. Now I am fine and doing 4×50 squats every day. Thanks ❤
@@DH-uw3us lol!! I know right! These UA-cam streets are smaller than we think! I’ve never done a challenge like this before either - I’m feeling motivated though 😆😍🙌🏾
I’m 79 and started doing squats 8 days ago. I have COPD. I’m doing 35 squats three times a day. Working my way up to 50 twice a day. I also have lots of foot pain, but I’m staying with it.
I squat when completing circuit training and after every cardio workout. I find that the more I do the more I can do and now after over a year of consistent squatting the traditional way, I can definitely tell my legs are stronger. I can hold a wide stance plie for a long time and even do side-to-side hand weight lifts over my head while holding the squat.
I saw a video recently that stated that if senior citizen or elderly person only did one exercise everyday, then that exercise should be squats. So I do two active squats where I hold the squat for 4 seconds.
I used to do heavy squats and had no problem with it. Now I do 300 squats everyday day and it's a great feeling cuz it's bodyweight and high rep. Trust me you can do bodyweight squats as much as you like

I've been doing 100 kettlebell swings a day. Can't do squats, injuries & 2 fake hips. But I love the results. I switch up other stuff, but those are daily
I love squating, now that I know the proper technique 😂 I just started for a few days, but had days off. I'll be more consistent now omg I can't wait to see results!!
Make sure to use a controlled down... And no bouncing / popping up. At least until you are 4 or more months into real training and fitness. Plyometrics, the jumping / popping part of coming out of an exercise is meant to increase power. There is a direct connection to torn knee ligaments and tendons from plyometrics. You need to be very careful. These are parts of your musculature that do not receive much blood (in decreasing order: muscles receive the most blood, tendons receive less, and ligaments receive very little). Blood to the injured area enables healing. When you injure an area that receives little blood, the healing takes a long time, if it occurs at all. Older people, in particular, are very prone to injury from popping. be careful.
ive always been in and out of working out. i go through my fazes like everyone else. the strange thing is that in 40 odd years of working out here and there i have never encorporated squats into my workouts UNTIL NOW. having seen this obsession in so many gym bunnies and rats and seen how amazing these people look and feel after doing my further research mainly on youtube i have started doing front squats with a barbell and i have to say ive been doing it now every morning at 6am for only 2 wks in before work 3 sets of 8 reps and wow the changes occur very quickly. my muscles are already much firmer. i feel tighter in general. more strength in m y legs climbing stairs for instance. im keeping this up for sure along with an upper body workout. wish i started squats so many yrs ago.
I lost 18 pounds in less than three weeks without changing anything about my lifestyle, or so I thought. After watching this video I remembered that I was doing squats every day during the time period that I lost all the weight. 😁 UPDATE: My rapid weight loss was probably due to a change in my thyroid.
Take care of squatting too low too soon. I hurt my knee that way. Back to squatting and other exercises, but take care to not squat too low. I do the Mercola Nitric Oxide Dump exercises, with weights.
I truly believe that every other day is better. You have to give muscles a chance to replenish and rebuild. You can't keep stressing a muscle group without rest and repair. It's in the rest state that muscles grow
Returned to swimming training to lose weight and better blood pressure. I will add squats daily to increase strength and endurance, thanks for the video
I am in my 50s, I measured my body first, then I started squats, I worked out 5 times a week, I did 100 squats a day, then I measured myself, My upper legs were 1-1/2 inch bigger because of the muscle growth, I wanted smaller, not bigger.
If I see how many older people, ill and previously movement disadvantaged people there are commenting here it is evident that any form of movement is better than none. YAY TO EVERYONE MOVING DAILY 🤗
OK- I’m 60, 6’5”, and 265 and do at least 100 squats a day. Everything mentioned in this video is true. Could very well be the best exercise you can do.
As with any repetitive exercise, you may have to modify it to maintain your own joint health, shallower squats to reduce arthritic knee pain and inflammation !!
I used to deep squat with proper form, but wound up, with osteoarthritis in both knees. I don't have any pain now, and only do half squats; weighted and I've made better progress than I did, when deep squatting. I also do sissy squats on the machine. Thank goodness for home gyms!
@@newyorkguy158 Hello. I never had pain at first, when I started with deep squats. However, over time, I noticed that the pain wasn't going away and the painful buckling when I walked, promoted a visit to orthopedics. An xray exam confirmed OA. It was on account of other factors too, like excess weight, daily wear and tear, and prolonged standing, at my past jobs. My knees feel better, now that I'm down 40 lbs, but I still do half squats; can't go deep, anymore, just 45 degrees. The weight loss helped slow the progression.
Everyone should be doing squats but nobody should be doing squats every day that’s just gonna lead to over training and overuse injuries, these muscles take several days to heal so that should be allowed to happen before another squat session.
Several disciplines ( martial arts ), and some individual fitness you tube channels, recommend hundreds of body weight squats every day. One such channel is "strength side " and he recommends 3 sets of 100 each every day.
My lower body is Deep squats 1 time a week 205 lb 12 times, rest 215 lb 10 times,rest,and finally 225 lbs 8 times, then 30lb each arm dumbbell lunges, finish it with either 20 lb each arm step ups usually a ft or so,or leg press 400 lb 12 times x2. I’m trying to throw in some light work of dead lifts in as well.
Ok I need to start seriously exercise again, and I'll definitely go towards the jumping squat plus the standard one. Thanks for the video, altough I'd have liked a more detailed explanation of the techniques.
I’m doing goblet squat with a 5kg dumbbell, just been doing it for 3 days, 36 reps a day whenever I can.. I have stubborn love handles so maybe squats can help me.. I’ll let u know after a week …but so far so good…

Although not bad advise to do light excersizes everyday. You should add a pulling motion like a pull up or row to have a balanced physique
Nice advice,, squats help alot in body shaping

Sumo! + Do it ass-to-the-grass!
I do yoga style squats. Breathing and slowly lowering to a full squat, breathing and slowly coming up. So powerful, and does not hurt the back as long as I keep tailbone pointing to floor and chest lifted, tummy in and weight on heels.
as far as I'm concerned there isn't a favorite squat exercise, it depends on what you want to achieve, on how you physically get to the workout, on what "amount" of work you are ready to face. For example, also perform the squat (with a load of 20Kg) with eccentric work (ie "breaking the descent into three steps maintaining the position for 5 seconds") until reaching the position of maximum flexion of the legs (for example 90 degrees).
the ascent must be carried out "explosively" until the end of the repetition with the pelvis aligned with the trunk and the thigh area and contracted buttocks
the weight of the exercise will be discharged on the heels, look up and torso out throughout the execution of the repetition
@@lorenzopresicce-1967 Ouch!!! You must have legs and bum like steel!
I have knee pain, which squat is recommended..
Excellent , to the point, no rambling on & on .Great
Great workout! i have a workout channel too, can you rate it?
I am 64 and do 100 squats 3 times a week when I am at my part time job. Since I started this routine my body has become stronger. I have to be very conscious of my form or my knees will hurt the next day. Your video validated correct form and the value in doing squats to keep strong. Thank you. Very helpful
Thank you for this. I am doing a weight training program with a trainer and will add this to my daily routine. I love weight training, wish I had started it years ago. I am over weight and 62 and so excited to find something I enjoy and seeing results. ❤

I am a martial artist and have been doing a version of squats, we call rabbit jumps. It is like the jump squat, however we bring our knees up as high as we can, as we cover distance...ie. jump up and down the floor. I have been doing them for 50 years. I usually do 2 or 3 sets of 35 squats.
Hi YAAAA
For me, starting is always the hardest part, but once I begin, I always realize how glad I am that I managed to motivate myself to do it. :)
I always feel so much better after I've finished. I also try to give people a bit of motivation (on my Channel) to take that first, hardest step because they definitely won't regret it. Many blessings!
100 squat kicks 3 times per week. 50 with alternating forward kicks. 50 with alternating back kicks. Careful to use good form, core tight and eyes straight ahead. To increase difficulty, I am now doing them on a LifePro Vibration Plate programmed for variable speeds. Great for balance and coordination also!
Some inspiration for a nice workout 🤩
EMOM 12
30 Squat (Odd minutes)
30 Reverse Lunges (Even minutes)
I never knew how effective squats can be!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😻
I have had significant injuries to my knees but plan on working this into my activity.
Check out Ben Patrick. They call him the knees over toes guy. If you have knee problems you definitely want to give him a look. Good luck! ❤
I do 300 every morning in sets of 25 .sitting right into my squat hit the whole muscles. Great video 👍🏿
Will this help me run fast in PE CLASS sports
@@Dog-hv7liyes squats make you run faster and jump higher
800-1200 squats a day for me. Here's why:
I'm a Ring Fit addict. My fellow Ring Fit players know that the game includes TONS of squats. I've been playing the game for a couple of years, and after beating the game 3 times I decided it would be fun to do my 4th playthrough of the game using just the squats. I loved it. I'm on my 6th playthrough now and I've been doing 800-1200 squats a day for seven months. One time I messed up my knees and couldn't do squats for 6 weeks, but then I went right back to it once my knees healed.
I do squats outside of the game, too, because you can't do weighted squats in Ring Fit while holding the ring. I do most of my squats during Ring Fit, and I do squats with weights outside of the game.
Haven't gotten any thinner from it. It takes more than just squats to get thinner.
I've been doing this now about a week, I've noticed a difference. I had a total knee replacement five years ago. I don't want to attempt the use of additional weight attempting squats. In High School...... MANY YEARS AGO, I played football, wrestled and squatted 650#! Those days are a distant memory, but I always knew how well squats worked. Obviously they work! Just look at these young, fit women on this video. Not to sound like a commercial but....."JUST DO IT"! Dare yourself to get off your ass AND START SHOWING IT OFF!!
I sit on a chair and stand back up
Box squats are really good for taking strain off
I just sit !
@@robplazzman6049 lol
@@robplazzman6049 well done, I’m working my way up to that but I’m taking my time
@@robplazzman6049 lol
Planning to add a squat challenge for myself. Great to come across this for motivation.
Same here
It's all about consistency. When it comes to exercise.
I love these tips. I didnt know doing squats had so many benefits. I am working mom plus i have a four year old so its hard for me to find time to excercise. Squats i can fit in everyday
@@simar2089 i am from Trinidad. I have a nice shape and i need to tone up
@@aartechadee6426 .
You should try to do 50-100 push ups, 50-100 squats, 50-100 sit ups a day and you’ll really see some results!!
I also mentioned that bc you don’t need a gym and being a mom is tough so you can easily do them exercises at your time in your own home
I used to love doing squats, but I already have a pretty high metabolism, and then with squats, pfft. So for those of you who suffer from constipation, squats can really do the trick.
❤ 05.12.2023. I am 78 from 🇮🇳 last semester 2023. I have a bypass surgery at sterling hospital. Now I am fine and doing 4×50 squats every day. Thanks ❤
Hmmm, I've never thought of taking a concentrated approach to squatting every single day. Given these benefits though, I may have to change that!
Hey! So funny to see you here! LOL I have been wanting to start doing squats for a while now. Glad this video showed up in my recommended!
@@DH-uw3us lol!! I know right! These UA-cam streets are smaller than we think! I’ve never done a challenge like this before either - I’m feeling motivated though 😆😍🙌🏾
I’m 79 and started doing squats 8 days ago. I have COPD. I’m doing 35 squats three times a day. Working my way up to 50 twice a day. I also have lots of foot pain, but I’m staying with it.
I squat when completing circuit training and after every cardio workout. I find that the more I do the more I can do and now after over a year of consistent squatting the traditional way, I can definitely tell my legs are stronger. I can hold a wide stance plie for a long time and even do side-to-side hand weight lifts over my head while holding the squat.
Absolutely beautiful, you have a lovely smile.
I love meeting you. You are a beautiful woman with a good heart.
I saw a video recently that stated that if senior citizen or elderly person only did one exercise everyday, then that exercise should be squats. So I do two active squats where I hold the squat for 4 seconds.
after watching this video i can say this guy has never seen men doing squats
😂😂😂
🤦🏽♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's obsessed 😅😂
😂😂😂😂
I used to do heavy squats and had no problem with it.
Now I do 300 squats everyday day and it's a great feeling cuz it's bodyweight and high rep.
Trust me you can do bodyweight squats as much as you like
Yooh
Please can you tell me does squat make your thighs and butt bigger?
@@Lifeleafeyes
@@Lifeleafe yeah it can since butt is msucle too so you can build it up
Yes! I started with 50 squats per day to build up the strength.
I have a lot of full body/leg workouts on my channel as well.
I.just subscribed you
@@jagparmar707 Awesome! I hope you enjoy the workout videos.
U need to let the muscles rest man, dont do it every day
@@osaniss Active rest is important. Start with 10 reps if you’re not used to working out, and then work your way up.

Excellent. I m 71 & will start from tomorrow following your videos.
Just starting to do a hundred a day. 2 days gone. It feels good.
I've been doing 100 kettlebell swings a day. Can't do squats, injuries & 2 fake hips. But I love the results.
I switch up other stuff, but those are daily
I have fake hips but can still squat
How heavy are your kettlebells and did you lose any weight?
I love squating, now that I know the proper technique 😂 I just started for a few days, but had days off. I'll be more consistent now omg I can't wait to see results!!
When you do it can you tell me if your legs got bigger or smaller because I’m trying to get smaller legs
I'm 86 and do 20 squats and 20 lunges each day.
I did 100 squats everyday for about 2 months and I saw a big difference. I need to do it again!
Like what?
what different you see ?
Glad to hear from you. Did you do the 100 all one time. ?
@@jakarey9700 no in sets of 25
Men of culture!! I salute you!!
Squating with barbell is my favourate exercise ❤, I still doing it as per my time schedule. Thanks Sir for your kind knowledge.
True the exercise has helped me a lot besides my health conditions improved each and every moment I do it.
Have had left knee replacement right hip replacement 60 squats a day with resistance bands no problems 👍
Make sure to use a controlled down...
And no bouncing / popping up. At least until you are 4 or more months into real training and fitness. Plyometrics, the jumping / popping part of coming out of an exercise is meant to increase power. There is a direct connection to torn knee ligaments and tendons from plyometrics. You need to be very careful. These are parts of your musculature that do not receive much blood (in decreasing order: muscles receive the most blood, tendons receive less, and ligaments receive very little). Blood to the injured area enables healing. When you injure an area that receives little blood, the healing takes a long time, if it occurs at all. Older people, in particular, are very prone to injury from popping. be careful.
ive always been in and out of working out. i go through my fazes like everyone else. the strange thing is that in 40 odd years of working out here and there i have never encorporated squats into my workouts UNTIL NOW. having seen this obsession in so many gym bunnies and rats and seen how amazing these people look and feel after doing my further research mainly on youtube i have started doing front squats with a barbell and i have to say ive been doing it now every morning at 6am for only 2 wks in before work 3 sets of 8 reps and wow the changes occur very quickly. my muscles are already much firmer. i feel tighter in general. more strength in m y legs climbing stairs for instance. im keeping this up for sure along with an upper body workout. wish i started squats so many yrs ago.
I do about a 100 a day divided by 25/30 every once in a while during the day. But I also bike and they make my thighs strong
I recently started doing squats every day. I’m 66. I have definitely slimmed down and gotten so much more limber!
I lost 18 pounds in less than three weeks without changing anything about my lifestyle, or so I thought.
After watching this video I remembered that I was doing squats every day during the time period that I lost all the weight. 😁
UPDATE:
My rapid weight loss was probably due to a change in my thyroid.
18lbs in 3 weeks? That's 6lbs a day!
@@nenabunena No it’s actually 6 pounds a week. The doctors were worried that I may have cancer because that is a sign of it, but my labs were good.
@@nenabunena no, it's 6lbs a week.
How much overweight did you have, if I may ask? I only want to lose 10 pounds. 😊
I don't think that's healthy... it's too fast.
I am 65 and I can do 35 squats and can bicycle at 66 mph on my peloton 1:44 !
I am going to start squaring and this video was very informative. Thanks
Take care of squatting too low too soon. I hurt my knee that way. Back to squatting and other exercises, but take care to not squat too low. I do the Mercola Nitric Oxide Dump exercises, with weights.
I truly believe that every other day is better. You have to give muscles a chance to replenish and rebuild. You can't keep stressing a muscle group without rest and repair. It's in the rest state that muscles grow
Agreed
Untrue
Returned to swimming training to lose weight and better blood pressure. I will add squats daily to increase strength and endurance, thanks for the video
Men of Culture, like you, the algorithm knows that I needed this squat video!
So true - ones does notice a big difference in physical changes that are positive
I am in my 50s, I measured my body first, then I started squats, I worked out 5 times a week, I did 100 squats a day, then I measured myself, My upper legs were 1-1/2 inch bigger because of the muscle growth, I wanted smaller, not bigger.
If I see how many older people, ill and previously movement disadvantaged people there are commenting here it is evident that any form of movement is better than none.
YAY TO EVERYONE MOVING DAILY 🤗
OK- I’m 60, 6’5”, and 265 and do at least 100 squats a day. Everything mentioned in this video is true. Could very well be the best exercise you can do.
Add push ups and situps
Part of my daily regimen is goblet squats with a 55 lbs kettlebell in part of my warmup. I like it, and go quite deep with them now.
Please I need to strengthen my leggs
I did 220 squats everyday and I see a huge differences already
As with any repetitive exercise, you may have to modify it to maintain your own joint health, shallower squats to reduce arthritic knee pain and inflammation !!
Thank you for this video
FROM WATCHING THIS VIDEO I GOT UP AND STARTED DOING SOME SQUATS AND NOW MY LEGS ARE BURNING
After 40+ years of squats, my knees are f*cked.
I used to deep squat with proper form, but wound up, with osteoarthritis in both knees. I don't have any pain now, and only do half squats; weighted and I've made better progress than I did, when deep squatting. I also do sissy squats on the machine. Thank goodness for home gyms!
Hi. Are you saying that you had pain with the deep squats, because of your OA, but not with the half squats?
@@newyorkguy158 Hello. I never had pain at first, when I started with deep squats. However, over time, I noticed that the pain wasn't going away and the painful buckling when I walked, promoted a visit to orthopedics. An xray exam confirmed OA. It was on account of other factors too, like excess weight, daily wear and tear, and prolonged standing, at my past jobs. My knees feel better, now that I'm down 40 lbs, but I still do half squats; can't go deep, anymore, just 45 degrees. The weight loss helped slow the progression.
@@pamelabacker2420 thanks
@@newyorkguy158 🙂
I did a hundred squats a day for a few months till my knees started giving me trouble. I don't recommend it.
Amazing did squats and ended with meniscus tear in both my knees
I'm only 13 years old, but i do 200 squats on leg days. (50×4) And i can do a maximum of 70 squats at a stretch 💪
Will definitely try this and report back in a month thank for the video and congrats to the comments below great motivation
I do 100 sit-ups 100 squats and 200 push ups a day… all body weight exercises you will see major results if you stick with it
Thx for the variety of squats. I will use them!
Weight loss only comes from calorie deficit.
You can do 2000 squats per day, if you are not in an overall calorie deficit, you will not lose weight :)
Not everyone want to lose weight, some want to build muscles and if that is the target, you actually have to eat more calories.
Everyone should be doing squats but nobody should be doing squats every day that’s just gonna lead to over training and overuse injuries, these muscles take several days to heal so that should be allowed to happen before another squat session.
I was unaware of the benefits of doing that many squats. Thank you. Age 78.
i like it very much.squats..very beneficial for health...
Several disciplines ( martial arts ), and some individual fitness you tube channels, recommend hundreds of body weight squats every day. One such channel is "strength side " and he recommends 3 sets of 100 each every day.
My lower body is Deep squats 1 time a week 205 lb 12 times, rest 215 lb 10 times,rest,and finally 225 lbs 8 times, then 30lb each arm dumbbell lunges, finish it with either 20 lb each arm step ups usually a ft or so,or leg press 400 lb 12 times x2. I’m trying to throw in some light work of dead lifts in as well.
I was supposed to be starting a squatting routine. What a sign.
Ok I need to start seriously exercise again, and I'll definitely go towards the jumping squat plus the standard one. Thanks for the video, altough I'd have liked a more detailed explanation of the techniques.
I wish I would have seen these video a week ago. I found a dollar bill on the sidewalk but couldn't squat down to get it.
You might have surprised yourself if it were a fifty.
@@kimalonzo3363
I need a grabber on a stick . Like they use when the remote is just out of reach
Lol
My neighbor has been doing 100 squats a day for years. She’s 104.
Isn’t every day too much? I thought you should rest a day or two between resistance training ?
5 days a week and 2 days rest is ideal.
I am not sure we should do it everyday so as to allow the muscles we are working to grow, 3 to 4 times a week is PERFECT and the results are good
I do 40 every day, feels great.
All at once
@@lindaneblett6438 it doesn't have to be... I do 50 everyday... in 2 sets of 25
I’m doing goblet squat with a 5kg dumbbell, just been doing it for 3 days, 36 reps a day whenever I can.. I have stubborn love handles so maybe squats can help me.. I’ll let u know after a week …but so far so good…
