Todays challenge is laundry basket squats, huh! Silly! No, really! I am always getting the excuse that, "I cannot build a great set of legs because I have no equipment!" Blah, here's a quarter, call someone who cares! Get real!
Fill up your laundry basket with dirty or clean clothes, whatever is on hand. Make sure it is not too heavy as you need to hold it slightly away from your body. As you start to squat down, keep your back straight, you will lean slightly forward, but try to keep your back as straight as you can. Find a point in front of you for your eyes to stay on.
As you squat down to a comfortable level, bring the basket further out in front of you. This turns it into a shoulder workout and a core strengthening exercise as well. Do enough until your legs begin to ache. Stop for a minute and repeat, stop and repeat, stop and repeat. Aim for 4 sets of as many as you can do, do this three times a week. When they seem too easy, add another pair of jeans and keep going!
