Commercial truck driver here. It’s very hard to get into a gym so I made my own equipment. Pull ups, dips, squats, push-ups, yoga and dumbbells are all available to me now.
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 👍💪
I've been doing 100 to 125 daily for several months now. Had to take a couple weeks break to give my knees a break. But omg what a transformation. In my legs, my abdomen and my chronic back pain is pretty much gone.
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.
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'm quite short, quite fat, and in my early 60s. A couple of months ago started cleaning up my act so to speak by modifying my diet. Just about 3 weeks ago watched a different TH-cam video about squatting and decided to try. My goal was to work up to 50 a day. The first day, I couldn't even do 10! Now, three weeks later, I am squatting over 80 times a day, yesterday was 84, 70 today so far and I'll do 15 more shortly. Between the squats, 2 weeks, so far, of Intermittent Fasting 16/8, and healthy food choices, the weight is coming off, and I have more energy! This video was great, thank you for sharing this important information, 🙂💜
Good for you! It's never too late. You don't have to fast just do ALL you're own cooking from scratch and learn how to read the labels. (eg. 4 grams of sugar== 1 teaspoon sugar) Surprised? I learned the hard way too. You can do it!
I did 150 squats today, 70 jump squats 2 days before, 5k jog 2 days before that and started the week with 90 squats..48 years old and trying to get myself in shape for skiing.
@@Etiquette447 I feel good, went skiing for 2 weeks and had a ball. Legs were great and I skied hard every day. Having a rest now and will start to cycle now for the summer
I am 49, doing 80 squats a day, I used to be fat and weak , after few months of regularly doing squats, I became strong and my body was a bit toned, looking forward to more toned body
Hi Nylasor, Did your fat reduced completely now after a month of doing squat excerise? .. I need to know your results as I also need to reduce my fat and weight I am 33 years old .. for me fat needs to be reduced.
@@basavarajs3525 Actually Im doing squats 30 every day and jumping, then I drink Half liter of hot water which results to loosing fat. so you can use this approach for better result
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’m a healthy 75 and go to a seniors exercise class. As I’m able to do more than most, I modify up instead of down. We’ve started doing more squats and lunges and I love it. I see so much more improvement in my strength, stamina and balance. I must set a challenge for myself and do more at home. Maybe 50 a day for a month!
Wow i would be happy at that age if I can do 25 I think, doing at the moment 100 a day am on day 20 and I cant wait for the 30 days challenge to be over 😂
1 day of squats, 1 day of pushups, 1 day of some pulling (pullups or BW rows) then repeat cycle on 4th day. The time in between will allow enough rest for repair/growth. Daily mobility or stretching and maybe twice a week get your heart rate up doing what ever you like. Do this for the rest of your life. Sounds like a lot but only take 30-45 minutes OR you can spread it out over the day EX --> 3-4 set of 50-60 BW Squats whenever you get the opportunity. Same with pushups ( I recommend incline so you can get higher volume and then gradually over time lower to or close to floor) I've done kitchen counter pushups which sounds lame but after 50 reps of correct form and tension in the muscle you will realize the effectiveness of angles. Poor form/speed is what causes injury So everything slow controlled and keep tension in the muscle. This is a lifetime approach to longevity and being consistent which is what will always have you in shape
I read your comment snd I intuitively sense that what you are saying is good and right. Could you please tell us a little more? Are you a practitioner?
Squats are the easiest thing to sneak in during the workday in my office. I walk around the corridor every hour then do a few sets of squats when I return to my office before getting back to work. It adds up over the course of the workday.
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.
Squats are great and I end my resistance band workouts with three sets of 20 squats each set. I see people sometimes bending at the knees and going straight down which can put excessive stress on the knees. When doing a proper squat you are pushing your butt out. One thing that helps me with good form is to imagine there is a chair behind me that I am sitting down in.
Actually, I found that going all the way down greatly improved my knee stability and overall mobility of the lower body. I have a bad knee (injury and overtraining from youth), and at first I also thought going all the way down was a bad idea, but no. You just have to do it the right way and introduce progression to make your knee gradually stronger to be able to handle it. I started with lunges where I used the full range of motion on the front knee, but I either put the front leg on a bench/incline and/or used table/chair to help lift myself up to lessen the stress. And then gradually as the knee got stronger I got to the normal lunge. I did full-range squats as well but didn't need to lessen the stress. But again you could make the squat easier on the knee with table/chair/walking sticks or TRX or some other tool. I was inspired to do this by the knees-over-the-toes-guy. I was also surprised to find out that the extreme squats hurt me less than the "correct" ones. Something about the knee in the right angle just does not work well for me and my knee always started to hurt when I did the normal squats. But your mileage may vary, tho. I just wouldn't write off the full range exercises completely.
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 TH-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 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
Merci pour cette vidéo très complète et très intéressante. J'ai 62 ans et je fais du sport depuis l'âge de 11 ans, soit plus de 50 ans. Le squat est maintenant pour moi le seul exercice pour les jambes et la résistance. Vous avez décris ses nombreux bienfaits, je suis d'accord avec vous. Il a aussi l'énorme avantage de ne nécessiter aucun, ou très peu de matériel et de pouvoir être effectué à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur.
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.
To anyone who's reading this: You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful. Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do! I hope you have a fantastic day :))
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.
At the top of each rep, stick your chest out, shoulders back and lean back slightly with hands on your hips. You end up doing ‘Supermans’ which are great for your back. Combine two basic moves that are very good for you 😊
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!
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!!
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. ❤
Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks
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
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!
I like to do the jumping squats because they add an aerobic effect to my resistance workouts. I can do 10-15 reps, depending on my energy level. I am just under 207 lbs and 5'4" at age 42. Just made a change to a vegan lifestyle due to a health diagnosis. I'm feeling great, and it is good to know that these work so well!
@RasheedyKingsley I am still adjusting my habits to reduce stress levels. And, my diagnosis was a cancer scare with elevated stress. But, I keep in mind what stress can do because it can cause damage to one's body.
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’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 can tell you what happened, to me at least. Done 30 days of it and my knees busted, had to go to doctor. And it's not a bad form, something about my joint running out of emulsifier or something. Really bummed me out because I used to love squats now I'm dreading it ever since
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 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.

I squat pressing down on the heels. I hold either a Kettlebell or a set of dumbbells. I think it’s important to wear shock absorbing shoes (trainers/sneakers) even indoors. It’s also great to mix it up with a set of lunges around the house. My next mission will be your jump squats to help my running!
There is no shock in squatting actually, which you get for example in running. For squatting only, it’s recommended to do it in a shoe with a flat sole. Or even barefoot. That way your entire foot is working. At least that’s what I was taught by professional weightlifters. And all their pro shoes have flat soles. For jump squats, stick with the shock absrobing. Good luck on your journey!
My routine is 5 pull-ups 10 press-ups 15 squats 1 min rest Repeat 20 times. Takes 40 minutes. I train every day as follows Sunday 90 min bike Monday / Wednesday/ Friday 45 min bike in morning and afternoon = 90 mins OR routine above in evening. Weather dependant Tuesday / Thursday/ Saturday Kung Fu in evening
@@DH-uw3us lol!! I know right! These TH-cam streets are smaller than we think! I’ve never done a challenge like this before either - I’m feeling motivated though 😆😍🙌🏾
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 squat to the theme from the Rocky movies, eye of the tiger. If you start when the drums kick in its around 90 squats in all, and if watching it on TH-cam, the video is very entertaining and makes it go much quicker😊
I can't stand that song, so that would be additional torture for me! For a song I liked, though, I would agree with it distracting you from the exercise.
I never thought I would ever do a squat, nevermind fall in love with. I've been sick for a month and have unable to exercise at all. I can't wait to get back to squatting and doing bridges, my other favourite exercise. I subscribed.
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.
I do squats every single day without spending additional time. I do them while rinsing in the shower 😁. I managed to maintain my ideal weight year after year.
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.
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 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
❤ 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 ❤
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!
Hi, I'm a 54-year-old master sprinter and in my workouts I insert a hyper workout once a week with 20 sets of 40 squats with a 20Kg Bulgarian bag (800 squats) recovery 2 '
Some years ago I sustained a sudden crashing sideways fall on to an unforgiving road surface when a front wheel puncture occurred whilst riding my bicycle. A diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis was the outcome but I've managed to maintain mobility albeit with the use of support when walking. However, the free-standing squat movement between hand bars has provided a solid addition to an indoor cable exercise programme. I am currently doing three sets of 40 reps. with an increasing feeling of ease that should promote progress in my limited domestic exercise programme. When training with weights years ago (I'm now in my 70s), I used respectable poundages for sets of squats and I strongly suspect that the strength these built in my hips and thigh areas helped prevent the likelihood of a fractured pelvis from the shock in the accident described above.. Squats are a great way of building core strength and contributing to a better circulation.
As a former Track&Field athlete, I've been squatting (with a gallon of water = around 8lbs in each hand) everyday for the last three years! 350 per week 💪 1,400 per month 💪 16,800 per year 💪
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.
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.
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 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.
I’m 82. Doing 50 squats a day and I’m feeling good. Maybe bump it up a bit next month Woohoo!
Wow great ur my inspiration. I turn 65 this year👍.
Well done you!!! 👍 Hope that’s me at your age.
That's amazing 😍 👏👏👏
Hello! Way to go! I'm 64, overweight, and just starting to work out. My question to you is; did you always work out, or did you start later in life?

64 is young! I watch Eric Daw's video for age 65 and above. Very informative.

Very important
I started today after watching this video. I did one set of 13, one set of 10. Tomorrow I'll do more.
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 👍💪

Agreed ❤😊
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.
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
You're such a great sister🥰

I am 49, doing 80 squats a day, I used to be fat and weak , after few months of regularly doing squats, I became strong and my body was a bit toned, looking forward to more toned body
Hi Nylasor,
Did your fat reduced completely now after a month of doing squat excerise? .. I need to know your results as I also need to reduce my fat and weight I am 33 years old .. for me fat needs to be reduced.
@@basavarajs3525 squats wont make you lose fat. You need to be on a calorie deficit.
@@Bluebird-fd9rt ok Thanks for info..😎
Only squats? And a year later, how are you doing?
@@basavarajs3525 Actually Im doing squats 30 every day and jumping, then I drink Half liter of hot water which results to loosing fat. so you can use this approach for better result
Its been 2 weeks of my squarts journey but honestly i am feeling better all my body and i started to see the good change for my lower body.
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’m a healthy 75 and go to a seniors exercise class. As I’m able to do more than most, I modify up instead of down. We’ve started doing more squats and lunges and I love it. I see so much more improvement in my strength, stamina and balance. I must set a challenge for myself and do more at home. Maybe 50 a day for a month!
That’s what’s up
Awesome dianne Keep going a 25 year old loving seeing you take control!
Wow i would be happy at that age if I can do 25 I think, doing at the moment 100 a day am on day 20 and I cant wait for the 30 days challenge to be over 😂
71 here, and do squats and pushups every day. Pullups every other day. Keep it up Dianne.
And sex.
I am a73 years old. Last 3 years I am exercising 1 hour daily, It includes only 4 squats. Even though my thigh muscles have toned up a lot.
1 day of squats, 1 day of pushups, 1 day of some pulling (pullups or BW rows) then repeat cycle on 4th day. The time in between will allow enough rest for repair/growth. Daily mobility or stretching and maybe twice a week get your heart rate up doing what ever you like. Do this for the rest of your life. Sounds like a lot but only take 30-45 minutes OR you can spread it out over the day EX --> 3-4 set of 50-60 BW Squats whenever you get the opportunity. Same with pushups ( I recommend incline so you can get higher volume and then gradually over time lower to or close to floor) I've done kitchen counter pushups which sounds lame but after 50 reps of correct form and tension in the muscle you will realize the effectiveness of angles. Poor form/speed is what causes injury So everything slow controlled and keep tension in the muscle. This is a lifetime approach to longevity and being consistent which is what will always have you in shape
👌🏻 Thank you so much.!❤
I read your comment snd I intuitively sense that what you are saying is good and right. Could you please tell us a little more? Are you a practitioner?
Yes, your body needs time to repair.
Squats can murder your lower back long term , be aware and careful.
Squats are not your friend.
I understand the 3 core moves in any resistance workout are: push, pull, lift.
just go to the gym and do a varity of exercises
Squats are the easiest thing to sneak in during the workday in my office. I walk around the corridor every hour then do a few sets of squats when I return to my office before getting back to work. It adds up over the course of the workday.
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!
I’ve seen and felt almost overnight improvement as well.
How many squats a day
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.
Your comment is very encouraging.
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!
Check out videos by kneesovertoesguy. All about strengthening muscles are the knee
Can u explain how to do the core strengthening exercise? I have knee problem too and quite challenging to do squats
@@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.
Hey, I suffer with the same. Your comment inspires and motivates. As also the the OG video here. Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
I’ve watched this video several times while lying on my couch and haven’t done squat!

@@MariaMiller-i8c yes it is
Squats are great and I end my resistance band workouts with three sets of 20 squats each set. I see people sometimes bending at the knees and going straight down which can put excessive stress on the knees. When doing a proper squat you are pushing your butt out. One thing that helps me with good form is to imagine there is a chair behind me that I am sitting down in.
Actually, I found that going all the way down greatly improved my knee stability and overall mobility of the lower body. I have a bad knee (injury and overtraining from youth), and at first I also thought going all the way down was a bad idea, but no. You just have to do it the right way and introduce progression to make your knee gradually stronger to be able to handle it. I started with lunges where I used the full range of motion on the front knee, but I either put the front leg on a bench/incline and/or used table/chair to help lift myself up to lessen the stress. And then gradually as the knee got stronger I got to the normal lunge. I did full-range squats as well but didn't need to lessen the stress. But again you could make the squat easier on the knee with table/chair/walking sticks or TRX or some other tool. I was inspired to do this by the knees-over-the-toes-guy. I was also surprised to find out that the extreme squats hurt me less than the "correct" ones. Something about the knee in the right angle just does not work well for me and my knee always started to hurt when I did the normal squats. But your mileage may vary, tho. I just wouldn't write off the full range exercises completely.
@@Anoiny Thanks. Great info. 😊👍🏿
@@Anoiny CAN DESTROY YOUR KNEES AND PUT YOU IN A WHEEL CHAIR.
I use a stability ball pushed up against the wall. Great form and am able to get low. Feel the burn.
Thank you for the information 😊
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!
@John Petri Will do John. Thanking you for your efforts in response to my post. I'll take a look today. The same sentiments to 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?
We have crossed paths.

Hello Michael
Have we? Be interesting to know.
Thank you for giving time to read my post.
I have been searching for someone to advocate the body squat on TH-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.
Squats have made my lower body beautiful and strong.i like to do them in the morning to starte the day off right.....
Curtis do you do squats with weights?
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
Merci pour cette vidéo très complète et très intéressante. J'ai 62 ans et je fais du sport depuis l'âge de 11 ans, soit plus de 50 ans. Le squat est maintenant pour moi le seul exercice pour les jambes et la résistance. Vous avez décris ses nombreux bienfaits, je suis d'accord avec vous. Il a aussi l'énorme avantage de ne nécessiter aucun, ou très peu de matériel et de pouvoir être effectué à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur.
I am 70.This is so important that it has changed my life enhancing vitality n vigor.
Plz prepare this kind of videos more n more.❤😅
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.
To anyone who's reading this:
You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful.
Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do!
I hope you have a fantastic day :))
Love your comment! It focuses our attitude on what's important!
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.
I did exactly 100 squats while listening to you! Perfect!
what matters is, are you doing it everyday ?

Jump Squats with Pushups and Pullups 3-4 times a week at age 54. Started 5 years ago.
find my comment im 70. granite guy
I do 3 sets of 15 a day. Basic bodyweight squats. Sometimes more. It helps actually with lubricating one of my knee joints, I think.
..it did my knees much good that way...69 year old...
At the top of each rep, stick your chest out, shoulders back and lean back slightly with hands on your hips. You end up doing ‘Supermans’ which are great for your back. Combine two basic moves that are very good for you 😊
@@bdawg8907 thanks
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!
Deadlift 200lbs!!! WOW Good for you🙌💪🤝🙏
Some inspiration for a nice workout 🤩
EMOM 12
30 Squat (Odd minutes)
30 Reverse Lunges (Even minutes)
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!!
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. ❤

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

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!
I like to do the jumping squats because they add an aerobic effect to my resistance workouts. I can do 10-15 reps, depending on my energy level. I am just under 207 lbs and 5'4" at age 42.

I did a 100 squats while watching this video! I had a surgery a few weeks ago, and obviously had to take it easy, but I'm back to my daily squats now!
I never knew how effective squats can be!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😻
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.
Planning to add a squat challenge for myself. Great to come across this for motivation.
Same here
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 can tell you what happened, to me at least. Done 30 days of it and my knees busted, had to go to doctor. And it's not a bad form, something about my joint running out of emulsifier or something. Really bummed me out because I used to love squats now I'm dreading it ever since
Thanks for this post. I'll proceed slowly.
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 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.

Will this help me run fast in PE CLASS sports
@@Dog-hv7liyes squats make you run faster and jump higher
I squat pressing down on the heels. I hold either a Kettlebell or a set of dumbbells. I think it’s important to wear shock absorbing shoes (trainers/sneakers) even indoors. It’s also great to mix it up with a set of lunges around the house. My next mission will be your jump squats to help my running!
There is no shock in squatting actually, which you get for example in running. For squatting only, it’s recommended to do it in a shoe with a flat sole. Or even barefoot. That way your entire foot is working. At least that’s what I was taught by professional weightlifters. And all their pro shoes have flat soles. For jump squats, stick with the shock absrobing. Good luck on your journey!
My routine is
5 pull-ups
10 press-ups
15 squats
1 min rest
Repeat 20 times.
Takes 40 minutes.
I train every day as follows
Sunday 90 min bike
Monday / Wednesday/ Friday
45 min bike in morning and afternoon = 90 mins OR routine above in evening. Weather dependant
Tuesday / Thursday/ Saturday
Kung Fu in evening
I do Hindu squats.
Awesome, You have to be in great shape!
@@CP-CDP60 I’m 50 so not doing so bad. I don’t look that good but I think genes play a role there.
I forgot to add in the callisthenics routine I do my set then rest a minute. So out of 40 minutes strictly speaking 20 mins is rest before next set.
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! ❤
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!

I squat to the theme from the Rocky movies, eye of the tiger. If you start when the drums kick in its around 90 squats in all, and if watching it on TH-cam, the video is very entertaining and makes it go much quicker😊
Oh I love Rocky and Eye of the Tiger!!!
I can't stand that song, so that would be additional torture for me! For a song I liked, though, I would agree with it distracting you from the exercise.

I never thought I would ever do a squat, nevermind fall in love with. I've been sick for a month and have unable to exercise at all. I can't wait to get back to squatting and doing bridges, my other favourite exercise. I subscribed.
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.
I've 63 and need to start improving my fitness so I've been looking at what I can do and Squats look like a good starting point.

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.

Hi, I'm a 54-year-old master sprinter and in my workouts I insert a hyper workout once a week with 20 sets of 40 squats with a 20Kg Bulgarian bag (800 squats) recovery 2 '
😳😳😳😳😳😳
Waw
Wow
Some years ago I sustained a sudden crashing sideways fall on to an unforgiving road surface when a front
wheel puncture occurred whilst riding my bicycle. A diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis was the outcome
but I've managed to maintain mobility albeit with the use of support when walking. However, the free-standing
squat movement between hand bars has provided a solid addition to an indoor cable exercise programme.
I am currently doing three sets of 40 reps. with an increasing feeling of ease that should promote progress
in my limited domestic exercise programme. When training with weights years ago (I'm now in my 70s),
I used respectable poundages for sets of squats and I strongly suspect that the strength these built in my
hips and thigh areas helped prevent the likelihood of a fractured pelvis from the shock in the accident
described above.. Squats are a great way of building core strength and contributing to a better circulation.
after watching this video i can say this guy has never seen men doing squats

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.
Am doing 100 and above squats daily and it is wonderful. Simply sharper on my feet and more confident in my movement.
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
I am going to start squaring and this video was very informative. Thanks
Will definitely start with 5 and work my way up, due to previous injuries. This is a process so I will not attempt to do 100 the first day.😅
It's very easy to squat in a big town, as there's a lot of free buildings
Just starting to do a hundred a day. 2 days gone. It feels good.
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!! I salute you!!
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 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
