Squats – Sissy or Not?

Well, when I did the 43 this morning, I thought it was called one thing but I did more research and I’m not sure now.  Depending on what source you read/watch –  I did 43 sissy squats.

I started with my heels on 2 35 pound dumbbells:

Like wearing heels!!

Then, while holding 25 pound dumbbells, I did a squat.  I still pushed my butt back and kept all of my weight in my heels.

Butt Back!!!

Because I went down on a 2-count, held for a 2-count and came up on a 2-count – these were a challenge.  I did all 43 at a nice steady pace.

When I started looking around, I found this version of the sissy squat:

Ummm…I’m going to stick with my version.

Over the years I’ve done lots of different work-outs and programs and there are many  exercises that have multiple names.  Confusing?!                                                                One exercise that is alway the same?  RUNNING!!!!

Running!

So, with these profound thoughts floating around, I’m going to enjoy my “rest” day.

Happy Sunday!
