I wanted to lift today, but I didn't want to do Fat Loss III workout B1 quite yet, since I don't want to be sore this weekend. So, I put together my own short workout.
I had been wanting to work on squats. I thought about what someone said about single leg squats. I hate single leg squats because I can't get any depth on them. But, I thought for sure there is some way to get depth with time. Enter YouTube. Of course, I quickly found a good solution on YouTube. I learned I could do single leg box squats. That is where I squat down until my bottom touches a box. In my case, it was a step with eight risers. You could start by sitting down every time, but after a couple reps doing that, I found I could just barely touch it and head back up. The height had me almost to parallel, but not quite. Although, I bet a lot of people would erroneously think it was parallel.
My workout
I used one minute rests. Definitely wasn't up to New Rules level, but that was the point! It took me about 37 minutes including foam rolling at the end.
