Is it good or bad to do 300 squats every other day?!
Question: Is it good or bad to do 300 squats every other day?
Just curious if 300 would be considered "over - kill".... Thanks!
Answers:
Your weight for your age height certainly isn't unhealthy, but I suppose working for a "robust" appearance after a pregnancy is understandable. I'm pretty sure breaking it down to 150 a day is better for your body's structure and overall health. Good luck!
Yes, overkill.
I dont see why you'r doing them.
I you wana lose fat [not "weight"], gradually start walking and do it longer and more vigorously.
If it's ok w/ your doc, gradually move onto jogging.
You should do an overall weight training routine that would include legwork.
Squats w/ light wts are ok, but w/ heavy wts put unacceptable stress on verterbral discs & leg joints.
3 sets of 10 everyother day w/ a light barbell would be ok. Maybe 40 lbs or less.
If in a gym, do incline leg presses instead.
Use only scientifically valid info for workouts and optimizing your diet.
Dont get conned by fads.
If there's any pain, refrain, use your brain.
