Half Squats: Senior Exercise & Fitness

Video Transcript

"Next is the half squat. What we are going to do is we are going to pump these out for twenty-five like we did the calf raise. So here we go. The segment is the knee raise. Which brings in to play the next major muscle group, which is the lower abdominals. So here we will go to here. And this couch is a little bit low but normally on the side of the bed you have a little bit more of an elevation. So you will be able to just kinda just pump these up. Then we can do twenty-five of these as well. Just bare in mind what we are going in to is a combination of these moves. But for the time being, as a part of our warm-up, we are doing them individually. Next move is bringing in to play the upper abdominals by extending the legs and bringing them back up. So we can also do twenty-five of these in this manner. Now I know that is a little bit difficult for some people that may be beginning they find that a little challenging to keep the balance. But like everything else, the more you practice the better you become at it. So let's go straight in to the combination. And what I am going to recommend is that for those who are beginning to also do twenty-five reps of the combination. Combination starts here. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. As you can see that gets you pumping. It gets you huffing and puffing. And you’re about ready for that shower, but I would recommend you do one more exercise which would cover one more major muscle group before doing that, and that is the famous push-ups. Nobody likes push-ups. I know."
