*Edit* - 13/08/2012
Just noticed this old post, not really going anywhere seeing as the main item, the video was removed. To make the item more relevant, I would like to say something about the benefits of doing bodyweight squats.
You can do them anywhere, they are great for improving your leg strength and endurance depending on rep ranges and they are pretty simple to get right with practise.
The classic bodyweight squat involves arms at shoulder level, in front of you, lowering the backside towards the ankles without moving the knees forward of the toes bend the knees as if sitting down. Once the hips are at the level of the knees you can try to straighten back up again.
There is, however a whole lot more to a squat, heel position, lateral knee position, allowing the knees to go forward of the toes for some versions, legs together, legs further apart, fast ones, super slow ones, high repetition ones...the list is immense.
Contact me to learn which ones could be good for you and your goals. *Edit*
Thankfully I have Internet again after a few months of trying to get various providers to get their act together.
Look forward to recent postings again soon....
Until then here's a little clip to keep you motivated:
