I have been doing ten minutes of squatting each day this month. Basically that means staying in a “resting” squat position (hip crease below knees and heels on the ground) for ten minutes. They don’t have to be consecutive. I had started doing them with shoes or boots on and found them to be pretty easy; I could stay squatting for thirty straight minutes. I did get the light-headedness, though, and some soreness in the hip flexors. A week or so ago I dropped the footwear and started doing them barefoot which really cranked up the difficulty as the slight rise in the heels makes a big difference. Possibly an ankle flexibility issue. I could only do one or two minutes at a time. And I needed a minute or so to warm up. And my hip flexors really did not like it.

Tonight I managed to do ten minutes straight. Woo. Guess I am getting better.
