I want to give this a go too. What are the rules? Is there a particular form to follow? Have to go down to parallel? Using hand weights?
Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing
Here's the ACSM guidelines on the right thing
http://www.acsm.org/about-acsm/media-room/news-releases/2011/08/01/acsm-issues-new-recommendations-on-quantity-and-quality-of-exercise
Resistance Exercise
Adults should train each major muscle group two or three days each week using a variety of exercises and equipment.
Very light or light intensity is best for older persons or previously sedentary adults starting exercise.
Two to four sets of each exercise will help adults improve strength and power.
For each exercise, 8-12 repetitions improve strength and power, 10-15 repetitions improve strength in middle-age and older persons starting exercise, and 15-20 repetitions improve muscular endurance.
Adults should wait at least 48 hours between resistance training sessions.0 -

okay I am going to do it but my skinny minny fitness daughter said I should start with 20 or 30 and go up from there. I will find out tomorrow how many I am going to do. We are going to be camping so I will have to do them in the camper.:laugh:0

I've done this before and so need to do it again. You can add me! I'm in!0

So a couple of people have asked about proper form and which type are we doing. I have to say I only know of I kind of squat which is what I am doing. I guess it is safe to say that you can do what works for you. Weight or no weights? That is up to you. I personally am not using weights. Hope this helps! Tomorrow we start!0
