I Love Squats is exactly what it says on the poster - a love letter written entirely in one movement pattern. Squat step backs, goblet squats three times over, squat front kicks and squat hold calf raises: six blocks, four reps each, every single one a different way of saying the same thing to your quads and glutes.

The low rep counts are the romantic gesture here, and they are more calculating than they look. Four reps per block means every squat gets full attention - no rushing, no form decay - while six consecutive blocks mean your legs never actually leave the pattern. The variations rotate the demand: squat step backs add a balance element as one leg sweeps behind from the bottom position, goblet squats groove the deep, upright classic that anchors the whole session, and squat front kicks ask you to rise from full depth straight into a kick - power and balance in one continuous motion. The squat hold calf raises near the end are the plot twist, loading your calves while your quads hold everything at depth. Then two more blocks of goblet squats, because love means repetition.

Sink to full depth in every goblet squat with your chest tall and elbows inside your knees. Control the step backs - the sweep behind should not pull you off balance, so keep your weight planted through the standing leg. On the front kicks, stand fully out of the squat before kicking; blending the two halves cheats both. During the calf raises, keep your hips locked at depth no matter how persuasively they argue for rising.

Twenty-four squats per set, six different ways. That is not a workout - that is commitment.

Make it Harder: Add a pause at the bottom of every squat variation.

Make it Easier: Reduce the depth on the goblet squats and hold a chair for the front kicks.
