Within a week I became stronger and 10 reps were easy to do! Week 2 ✨ I increased cossack squats to 15 reps Week 3 ✨ My legs were sore and tired, so I did various amount of reps per day depending on how my legs felt in that day. Week 4 ✨ I have incorporated a kettlebell for a loaded Cossack squat to challenge my strength and range of motion. So the amount of reps grew from 3-5 each leg to 10. In terms of the benefits for my body: ✔️Cossack squat shows you your weak points, e.g mobility, quad strength, adductor strength, core or glutes. For me personally quad and glutes were the weakest link, especially my left side. But it dramataically improved with this challenge. ✔️My balance has improved ✔️My ankle mobility and stability really improved ✔️Adductor Strength and Mobility - WOW that muscle was in fire and I thought I had good adductor mobility. My middle splits have improved dramatically. ☝🏻Some drawbacks: it was hard to do this challenge every day due to muscle fatigue and soreness. I cannot stress enough that proper warm up is essential! Watch out for ankle mobility and adductor flexibility (inner thigh) the range of motion is huge for these. ✅Overall COSSACK SQUATS are a perfect exercise to build strength and mobility bodyweight + weight, and these should definitely be part of your routine! #cossacksquat #mobilitytraining #mobility #mobilitywork #functionalfitness #squatchallenge #squateveryday #squatgoals #anklemobility #fitnesschallenge #hipmobility #mobilitychallenge #corestrength #movementtraining #functionalmovement #fullbodyworkout | Move With Alisa
