What is special about squats with an armchair
Anyone who has defined a tight butt as their goal should add squats to their workout plan. Preferably at the top of the list. But squats become monotonous in the long run.
Therefore, just grab a chair. The most suitable is an armchair without an armrest. Attention: Office chairs are not suitable. This can end very badly. Look for a chair without wheels and without armrests.
Since you are using the chair as a benchmark for the squat, you perform each squat at the same depth. The problem that beginners especially have is that they don't squat deep enough. Especially after the 5 or 6 repetition, many tend to cheat a little. That certainly won't happen to you with squats with a chair.
And if it gets too strenuous for you, you can also take a short break on your training equipment. But you should only do that when you are really totally knocked out. Don't let the chair tempt you to take a break :)

Our Tip:
Make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Squats put a lot of stress on the soles of your feet. If you don't have training shoes at hand or want to do the exercise on the go, feel free to do it barefoot.
