From there I practised and realized that squats were the single most rewarding exercise you could perform. By investing a bit of effort into your legs you could develop your overall bodily strength, muscles, circulation, stamina, and start to mould your body the way you wanted. There is a real sense of natural hormonal euphoria from the movement, repetitions, sets and lifting achievements themselves. What's not to like?
What I noted with regular squatting workouts (with or without weights) was interesting. I no longer got sick. I no longer got the usual round of viruses, colds, infections, aches and pains that I used to get which others still regularly got. One of the best advantages is that I no longer needed to take medicines or wait around for my turn in a packed doctor's office or GP surgery - something that always made me feel awkward. I haven't needed to see a doctor for over 8 years, I was even called by my GP's secretary because I was no longer on the register though as a responsible adult, I did register, from free choice, but I'm glad I didn't need to - freedom is a wonderful thing! Something clicked for me. I realized that the body has its own inbuilt 'pharmacy' of natural drugs which you can activate by squatting regularly (with or without weights) for 5-10 minutes per day. This can help prevent a litany of health problems from developing in the first place.
I felt that this knowledge, along with a few methods, techniques and appropriate mindsets that I used (and still do) should be shared with as many people as possible, which is ultimately what compels me to write this book. Squats have changed my life - now it's your turn to learn, experience and benefit from how squats can change your life, too.
