dixie cups and elbows

[hoffmasa]

Cathe,
I love the dixie cup lunges AND the squats where you tell us that our elbows should touch our thighs on the descent.
I have never before lunged or squatted that low for ALL of the repetitions. It's challenged me in a new way and has forced me to get down LOWER with better form.
THANKS!

Sharon, I was having the same thoughts about the squats this morning during AOLI HiiT. I'm glad that Cathe gives a few reminders to keep touching those elbows to the thighs...very effective!

Her gentle reminder comes just when I'm about to cheat a couple of squats because my legs are on fire. I find myself thinking "How did she know my squats were getting higher?" Her reminder works because I can't cheat after that and I keep squatting low, but man do I feel it later!
