The playground isn’t just for kids. For the rest of the summer we’ll be rolling our new videos that help you SqueezeItIn at the playground. Ready… Set… Play!

Find a step, slide or other stable, slightly raised surface.  Stand with one side facing the step, (standing perpendicular to the step), place one foot up on it while the other foot remains on the ground. Your legs should be hip width apart with both feet facing forward.

Bending at the knees, squat down without letting your knees extend in front of your ankles.  Keep all of your weight in your heels.  Squeeze your bottom as you slowly push back up to the starting position.  Keep your core engaged throughout this exercise. You can extend your arms in front of you for balance.

Continue for a set of 12.  Switch sides and repeat.
