Have you ever had the PLEASURE of using an OUTHOUSE for emergency reasons?
It's the kind of bathroom typically found at a campground or a public park without plumbing or a septic system. It's a small SMELLY building that sits over a pit where bacteria breaks down the waste. Anyway, they are very GROSS and the LAST thing you want to do is TOUCH the potty rim - when going potty. ICK!!
This is WHY it is very important to strengthen your LEG MUSCLES by learning how to perform a proper potty squat. With your leg muscles properly trained, you will soon build up enough STRENGTH and STAMINA to hover over any potty rim for as long as needed.
Not only do potty squats work the upper front area of your legs but they also hit the glutes, hamstrings, abdominals and lower back muscles. Potty squats can also aid in adding LEAN muscle over the WHOLE of your body. Yes, it is your legs performing the actual movements but the rest of the body tenses in order to provide a solid base upon which to perform the squat.
HOW TO PERFORM A PERFECT POTTY SQUAT:
- Enter the outhouse with EXTREME caution and full ALERTNESS.
- Don't look down the potty hole because you will NOT like what you SEE. ICK!!!
- Stand with your back facing the potty and with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
- Ensure natural curvature remains in the lower back, spine and neck.
- Tense your core muscles.
- Slowly bend your knees as if sitting into a chair but whatever you do - "DO NOT" touch the rim of the potty. ICK!!
- As you lower down, push your hips back - so your knees do not extend past your toes.
- Maintain your BALANCE and natural weight distribution.
- The exercise should be fluid and not jerky.
- As your thighs become approximately parallel to the floor - slightly HOVER over the potty rim WITHOUT touching bum to rim.
