Learning challenge s23w3: "I Love My Body /Jump squats, side squats and lunges (let's build lower body muscles)".

These exercises were quite tough! Every morning, I do my workout before starting my day, and today was no different. I completed my morning routine, but it was shorter than usual, which might have made me feel weak.

I have to admit, the squat exercise is really challenging. My muscles were so engaged that I couldn't feel my legs after a few minutes. Overall, I gave it my best effort.

Jump Squat

Jump Squat is really simple, but it can get tough in-between. If you try to squat too low when you jump, it can hurt because getting back up will be difficult. I tried to stay focuses and consistent and made sure that my knee isn't higher than my butt.

I didn't push myself too much to stay relaxed, but I did do squats. I jumped, squatted, and repeated it again and again, taking breaks in between.

Side Squat

The ability to keep one leg steady while the other leg moves, is what makes it a side squat. It's called a squat because you are bending down while holding and moving your legs. You also need to stay upright.

This is the hardest one of all. At first, I didn't think I could do it, but once I began, it turned out to be fun and easy. In the next round, I had to remind myself to take a break, or I might get overwhelmed. I realize that regular practice is what I need to keep my focus.

Lunges Forward and Backward

I would say that the lunges exercise are easy to do. It is a movement where your knee moves forward and bends, and goes backward while your butt appropriately with your thigh and leg.

I know I was steady at the begining but I think I lot it at a time. I managed to do it but I can't say what my result looks like.

At the end of the program, what is the overall feelings and where did you feel the pains the most?


It was really tough. I felt pain all over my thigh. I held it with my hands because it felt like it might come off. Even though I tried to endure, the pain was strong.

At one point, I couldn't feel my legs when I wanted to take a step. I questioned if this was normal. I had to stay still for a bit before moving. After doing the squat exercise, I felt some pain in my hip area. Was that normal? I even had to hit my thigh to help relieve the intense pain.

Why do you think you personally need these programs? Explain


I've been wanting to start my butt workout for a while, but laziness kept holding me back. I finally began last month, and I can say these exercises are really helping me.

Now, my thighs have gotten used to the workouts, and they don't bother me like they used to.

I need these routines to stay in shape. After my morning workouts, I feel energized and ready to tackle my day without feeling lazy. My body feels light, and it helps me build stamina. Eventually, I hope to do 50 squats in one go; that's my goal.

¡Holaaa Nina!🤗

Tus sensaciones me hicieron recordar lo que yo experimentaba hace un año cuando comencé a entrenar mis piernas y, te confieso que llegué a detestar las sentadillas jajaja, pero hoy día lo agradezco, porque con constancia y mucho cuidado, logré derribar esos malestares.

Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica... Un fuerte abrazo💚
