Here at Tom’s Guide Fitness Desk, we love weird workout challenges more than anything. Looking for inspiration, I found her 90 squat challenge from Kayla Itsines, her CEO and trainer at Sweat app. Squats are a great exercise to work your gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, quadriceps, hamstrings, hip flexors, calves, and core. Squats can be done with just your body weight or you can add the best resistance bands or adjustable dumbbells for extra intensity.
I often do squats as part of my workout routine, so I decided to use Kayla Itsines’ 90 Squat Challenge to finish off my workout. The goal is to move as fast as you can while maintaining good form and record your time as a fitness metric. The entire workout took her less than five minutes, but it was a reminder of how versatile the humble squat is in terms of targeting different muscles in the lower body.
