Chocolate Shakeology Recipe: Pumpkin Cardamom

A simple rule of thumb for protecting your knees when doing squats: if your heels come off the floor, you’re putting too much pressure on your knees, especially if you have weight on your shoulders.

You’re best to start off with little/no weight and go down until your thighs are parallel with floor. If you can do this while keeping your heels on the ground, you can gradually add weight.

Squats are one of the best exercises you can do for your legs and back if you do them correctly… or one of the worst if you don’t.

I’m new to these weight loss challenges. I am good at starting diets but always lose my motivation. Jenny was great. Always checking in, giving support and posting inspiration. When I struggled she was understanding and encouraged me not to give up even though I did not lose as much weight as I wanted. She is such a great role model – someone who is not only a coach but in the trenches herself fighting to get healthier. I would like to do another challenge with her in the future.
