  A word of caution, especially for those 40+. I got quadriceps tendonitis from doing body weight squats daily. I can do 30+ squats in a single set not a problem. Doing it every day though, I just wasn&apos;t ready for that. My muscles were, my tendons weren&apos;t. If you aren&apos;t doing daily or even every other day like the video says, I&apos;d start slow. Start with something like 10 a day then work your way up over months. Tendons take a long time to adapt and an even longer time to heal (something I&quot;m still dealing with). But the shortest path to gains is still slow and steady.

  Indeed when I turned 50 I was doing higher intensity in my workouts and was not seeing any progress and actually gaining unwanted weight and cortisol bloat. &nbsp; Once I dialed down intensity so that I can workout out everyday, i realized exercise is no longer a chore but something I look forward to.

  I love the infomercial style hard sell on the benefits of something that is free and good for us. You&apos;re a good person for this.

  Combined with walking lunges and standing calf raises you have the trifecta 🏆

  I&apos;m 71 now. Two years ago I changed my diet, &nbsp;no processed foods, really low carbs, animal fats and meats. I was really sick. It&apos;s taken me till now to start exercising. Squats for the win! Started with 10 a few times a day. Now I&apos;m able to have a few seccions of 65 per day in just a few minutes. Changing to every other day and doing the squats with the ball of my feet like you show here. Thank you for your insight. 😊

  I&apos;m highly addicted to body weight squats. I get up from my desk while at work every 10, 15, 20, or 30 mins and bang out a set of 25. At my part-time job on Sundays I challenge myself to do 10 deep body weight squats when I have to ride the elevator. I take the steps as much as possible. I work at a hospital so I have to use the elevator to move some equipment. Great content as always.

  Squat jumps are also really efficient. Might be a bit harder on your body but used sparingly it really gives you a pump in your legs very quickly

  I haven’t been surfing as much this year as I have I’ve put on 8 kg and been going through some psychological stuff. Your videos have helped.

  The hundred body weight squats are a game changer. I started doing them along with pushups, pull-ups and dips for most of my workouts and I was quite pleased with the results. It even improved my hiking. Areas where I would start sucking wind were all of a sudden a breeze to hike up, among other improvements.
