Get Legs to Stand On
Ask a friend, colleague, or family member who you think would be open to supporting you in a fun growth exercise if they’d be willing to participate as your partner. If they say yes, proceed by following the instructions below.
Several studies have literally found a link between leg strength and levels of confidence. The willingness to make physical efforts and work the body is engaging to others and initiates our own presence.
Your task is to stand up and ask your partner to count the number of squats you can do in one minute while timing you.
If you don’t know what a squat is, just stand straight and then lower your body while bending your knees and letting your butt stick out behind you, but keeping your upper body erect at the same time. When you’ve gone as far down as you can, stand up again.
That’s a squat.
After your partner times you and counts the number of squats you’ve done, ask them how they were impacted by watching you make the effort.
For bonus points:
Do squats every day for the next week and at the end of the week email your partner to report the progress that you’ve made.
