Next, it’s the squat thrust.

The squat thrust, like all the other exercises in 500 bodyweight challenge , works most muscles in the body. But in particular, it is very good for the core area and also the thighs and the buttocks at the back. Also, it gets the heart rate up as well.

So, this is what it looks like:

  • Like a few of the other exercises, we start in the push up position.
  • Then, from here, very simply, keeping the arms straight and the core nice and tight.
  • We jump up, legs in between the elbows, then we jump back again, extending the body fully.
  • Up and back.
  • Up and back.
  • Keep the weight over the hands to help take some of the weight off of the legs.

Now, if you’re a beginner this is going to be quite a tough exercise for you. So, here’s an alternative.

  • From here, step forward.
  • Step forward with the other leg.
  • Step back.
  • Step back with the other leg.
  • One, two, three, and so on.

You’re going to do 50 squat thrusts in total. If you can do 50 all in one go, well done, but you may need to break is down into 25 and then 25. Good luck with that one. It’s a tough one, but it’s fun.
