Squat-Buckling Strawberries!!!

Oh hi, have you ever wondered why we always go on about how important it is to squat? Not just for a toned tush, but because it’s a necessary beyond the eternal question that is “does my butt look big in this?”. Yes ladies, there is purpose to us being squat nazis, that is not to say that we don’t care about how gorgeous your butt looks in cute summer shorts, of course we do! But there is far greater purpose to working the derrier in a squat like fashion! Hell if you can’t squat, consider yourself femme-limitalus. Yes, if you can’t squat, you can’t move!! In it’s basic form you need to be able to squat to simply stand up and sit down. Now if you’re not in the mood to sit or indeed stand all day, we’ll assume that you utilise a bit of squat action to get through.

So anyways, when I went strawberry picking this weekend, oh yeah, just call me eco-tastic, I took a little look around at my fellow strawberry-pickers. Now for those in the know, one has to squat down real deep to get the juiciest of these bad boys, good things come to those who squat yes! Needless to say, because I never fail to squat in my workouts, I was able to harvest like a mo fo whilst my fellow pickers needed to stand up and ease their legs every 5 seconds! Ha poor you I thought, looks like your strawberry tart is gonna be a little more pastry and not a lotta strawberry! Oh well! But the point is, all the stuff you do in the gym needs to transfer into everyday life. Squatting is what we do each and every day!! What’s the use of a leg extension machine if it doesn’t transfer into everyday life? You know it, the machine where you sit down with your legs bent and extend them straight out in front of you. Tell me what use that is, except for repeatedly kicking someone’s butt?? And should you be so inclined, one would assume you would do it standing up and not sitting down, you dig!! So FGs, make sure what your doing in the gym, makes you work better day to day! Squats, lunges and bends e.g. deadlifts are a great place to start!
