Now, we’re going to do another variation of the squat.
This is called the Y squat, and again it’s a full body exercise, but in particular it makes your shoulders quite tired because you’re going to keep your arms up in a Y shape throughout the whole exercise.
This is how it’s done:
- So, it’s still the same basic squat pattern.
- Feet are shoulder width apart, slightly wider.
- Toes are just turned out slightly.
- Hands are up in a Y and you want to pull your shoulder blades back and together.
- Then we sit back down.
- Make sure that the thighs get down to parallel.
- Keep the arms back if you can.
- Stand up.
- Push the hips forward and squeeze the glutes.
And, that’s one repetition. So down we go and back up. You’re going to do 50 of these in total, and if you do need to take a break because your shoulders are getting tired, then put your arms down. Take a little rest and then put your arms back up and carry on, 50 to do. Best of luck.
