Holiday Challenge

Feeling a little heavier just thinking about the holidays?
Stuff more in yourself than you stuffed in the turkey on Thanksgiving?
This challenge will help you feel lighter and tighter in no time!

200 STEPS TO SORE

Find a step or bench approximately 16" or higher. It should be sturdy enough to hold your weight while stepping fairly hard with all of your body weight onto it.

  1. Stand to the right side of the step.
  2. Side step up onto the bench with your left foot.
  3. When on top of the step lift your right knee toward your chest.
  4. Now immediately step the right foot back down onto the floor.
  5. Finish by stepping your right foot out into a wide low SUMO SQUAT.

Repeat this entire sequence 100 times on each leg. Finish all 100 on one side before switching to the opposite side of the step.

At about 70 your legs should feel like jello.
The next day your butt and legs should feel incredibly tight, sore...but awesome!

SIMPLE RECAP:
Side Step up on Bench, knee up, step down, step out into wide low sumo squat. Repeat.
