THE SALLY SQUAT CHALLENGE

It's SUMMER TIME and everybody is just going gaga over achieving their summer bod goals. And guess what, I'm one of them. I mean, who doesn't wanna look great while in their bikinis, right? Plus it's the perfect time of the year for students (and graduates?) like me to start working out because most of the us have all the free time and probably just staying home.

I remembered trying to balance my time between studying, doing all the paperworks and working out. It was a hassle and oh so tiring.

Anyway, I'm here to share a little workout routine that I just came across to that would be of great help to most of you. I learned this routine from a Fitness Youtube personality, Joannah Soh, (you guys should totally check her out). She's been my fitness inspiration and I prolly had done almost all her workout routines for a year or two now and my favourite is her Cardio Kickboxing and lemme tell you, it works wonderfully. I lost quite a weight by doing it for like 4x a week. Not kidding.

But this post will be focusing on our bum area. That's right. Our BUTT area. It's a squat challenge with a twist!

I've been on this challenge for a few days now, trying my best to do it for twice a day to see best results, although I won't be able to see the results quickly, but you know, whatever floats my boat.

This challenge is what I call "Sally Squat Challenge". Why? Well, you'll understand why when you hear the song. So it's a simple routine and everyone can do it. All you have to do is follow the lyrics. The lyrics goes like this, "Bring Sally Up, Bring Sally Down". So when you hear BRING SALLY UP, you stand and when you hear BRING SALLY DOWN, well, you squat. You shouldn't stand unless you hear "bring Sally Up" and that's the best part because you'll be squatting for like a few seconds and you will totally feel the pressure and pain shooting down to your legs but trust me, the next day, you will the soreness on your bum area and that's normal, and the best feeling (for me) because I feel like the workout is actually working.

Most fitness instructors are recommending this routine and have also used the song for other kinds of workout like Pushups and Lunges. It's different from the routines I did and I must say, I enjoy this a lot.

I have given myself two months to do this challenge and I hope you guys try it too. It's only 3mins of your time everyday. It won't ruin any plans at all. You can squeeze this challenge in in your plan and it's up to you how often you wanna do it. I will post a before and after picture after two months in this challenge. I'm crossing my fingers that i'll be able to achieve my goal.
