    :) Far more important than the number of squats is the fact that I am remembering to do them. I'm not trying to do more each day, just do them every day.

    March 36 squats and new hand weight routine
    My doctor recommended today that I start some work with hand weights so I'm going to keep track of it here. I'll probably do it only three days a week.

    I missed a few days as my back is hurting. I will have to stop the structured plan and do less, maybe start at day 1 and stay there for a while. I think I increased too fast.

    GREAT JOB LADIES!! I need to find modified squats according to my doc because of my back and arthritis in my hips. Still healing but will get back to it soon!! I’ll post whatever I find on this.

    Found many modified squats. The wall squat and the sit to stand are the 2 that sound most effective so will start with those. The 10 Minute Strength Exercises for Seniors has the best and safest exercises I found. Here is the link to the AARP article: https://www.aarp.org/health/healthy-living/info-2022/squats-best-exercise-for-strength.html

    When I find the PDF’s of the 10 minute thing, I’d post here.
