Squat It Out September Challenge

August 25, 2014 5 min read

September is a great month-the leaves start changing and the weather gets just a tad bit cooler-well, depending on where you live! In Florida, it is still hot as s***. Here is a workout that you can do all month long to not only get your booty in tip top shape, but to also help you become a master at the squat! As always, a clean diet will help you achieve the best results so here is a 7 day clean eating plan, with recipes, to help get you there! Squat It Out September Challenge

Directions: Start the month by doing the five different squats each day for the repetitions suggested-in one sitting. As the days go on, you will notice that the number of squats will be increasing-this definitely kicks things up and adds a bit of a challenge. Note: If you are having problems completing the exercises in one sitting, try breaking them up throughout the day. As the days go on, there will be more and more squats to do! If you are having difficulty with an exercise, you may skip it or replace it with a regular squat instead. Let the games begin! Take pictures and record your results-we would love to hear from you!

DEMOS:

Squats

Plant your feet flat on the ground, about shoulder-width apart.
Point your feet slightly outward, not straight ahead.
Never let your knees extend beyond your toes.
Look straight ahead. Bend at your knees as if you were going to sit back in a chair, keeping your heels on the floor.
Pull in your abs, and keep your lower back in a near neutral position (a slightly arched back might be unavoidable).
Tighten your whole body when you perform the squat.
Lower yourself. In a controlled manner slowly lower yourself down and back so that your upper legs are nearly parallel with the floor. Extend your arms for balance.
Keep the upper body tight at all times.

Sumo Squats

Stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart, toes slightly turned out, holding a medicine ball in front of your chest.
Squat down as low as you can, keeping your heels on the ground and your back straight.
Press back up to standing. That's one rep.

Pistol Squat

Stand holding your arms straight out in front of your body at shoulder level, parallel to the floor.
Raise your right leg off the floor and hold it there.
Flex your right ankle so that your toes are higher than your heel.
Your right leg should be straight.
Brace your core.
Push your hips back and lower your body as far as you can.
As you lower your body, raise your right leg so that it doesn’t touch the floor.
Pause, then push your body back to the starting position.
Keep your torso as upright as possible.

Split Squat

Stand with dumbbells grasped to sides facing away from bench.
Extend leg back and place top of foot on bench.
Squat down by flexing knee and hip of front leg until knee of rear leg is almost in contact with floor.
Return to original standing position by extending hip and knee of forward leg and repeat. Continue with opposite leg.

Squat Jumps

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms hanging at your sides.
Squat down until your knees are bent about 90 degrees.
Immediately swing your arms overhead and jump upward as high as you can.
As you land, gently bend your knees and sink back down into the squat position.

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. While health and wellness companies are essential services, there is simply an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as individuals and hospitals need more supplies than ever before. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-5 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. You will receive the tools you need to stay safe and strong at home through this difficult time. Thanks for your support and understanding.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping with our partners at UPS. Once your order is received and processed, it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse. That’s our commitment and we stand by it.

We ship within Canada and the United States via UPS with Standard & Expedited shipping (whichever is faster)

For locations outside of the US and Canada, we ship using FedEx International (EUROPE and Other Nations), which is usually in transit for 7-10 business days, depending on location.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Delays caused due to custom withholds are not included in these estimated delivery times.

Returns & Exchanges

BodyRock Equipment

We offer a 30-day return policy, as long as: it is not more than 30 days past the date of delivery; and your item is in its original condition and packaging with the original order number. Refunds will be issued when the equipment is received back to the BodyRock warehouse, minus the original cost of shipping, and the customer is responsible for the costs of return shipping. To request a refund on physical product purchases, please contact us.

Digital Products

We cannot issue refunds on digital goods such as e-books or videos, as these are non-tangible goods that are irrevocable once the order is placed.
