I’ve been teaching my daughter Olivia how to squat, a gift she lost, courtesy of all the sitting kids do in school. So we’re back to square one on form.
I’ve told her she needs to do 500/week of bodyweight squats, and once she hits about 10,000, she might be ready to do some light goblet squats.
Anyway, recently I was looking at Twitter and saw this video. Some of you may have seen it, also.
I said, “Hey Olivia, I want to show you something,” and she came over. I said, “What do you notice about this?”
Olivia: She’s a girl?
Me: And?
Olivia: She’s young?
Me: And?
Olivia: She’s strong?
Me: AND???
Olivia: Oh my god….
Me: Please don’t ever complain about me asking you to do 500 squats per week with your bodyweight on two good legs. Deal?
Olivia: Deal.
