fitvillains: Shapeshifter Squats Lower body WORK! This is an intense booty challenge, so work up to it gradually. It’s body weight only, so no equipment is required. Beginners: tap the back leg down throughout the move, but make sure your weight is predominantly in the front leg. The opposite foot should rest about 1-2 feet behind the squatting ankle. You can also keep the extended leg bent throughout the move and/or use a chair for balance. Challenge: Aim for 20 reps (10 per side) and repeat 3 times per leg. How To Do It A. Stand, lifting one leg up behind you and bending the standing knee slightly. Sink down into a squat on the standing leg, lowering your chest towards the floor but keeping your eyes forward. Keep weight in the standing heel, and make sure your knees stay over the tops of your toes. The lifted leg is slightly behind you and bent at the knee. Back is flat and arms cross your body, like a hug. B. Hold for a beat, and maintain your posture as you push through the heel, straighten your standing leg and extend your back leg behind you. Extend your arms to the back of the room, squeezing your shoulder blades and open your chest, like you’re flying. C. Without tapping down, return to the single leg squat, sinking down slowly. Repeat 10 times per leg x 3 sets. TIPS Make the motion as fluid as possible and think form over speed. Find your balance and tap down when you need to! It helps to find a spot on the floor about 6 feet in front of you to focus on, and keep your abs pulled in tight for balance. Kill it!
