15 Days Squat Challenge

Squats are one of the best ways to strengthen your hips, abs, quadriceps and hamstrings, and dancers need strong legs. Better yet, you can do them anywhere, anytime. The challenge consists of 5 exercises that make up one set. You will start off slowly completing 20 reps total, working your way up to as many as 200 reps on day 15. No equipment is required. However, if you’d like to increase the intensity you may add free weights or a band around your thighs for the exercises. If it is too challenging for you, use a wall or chair for support. Do not undertake any exercise unless you know it’s safe to do so, check in with your medical professional and make sure you understand each exercise before you start them.
