recently some ladies here recommended the website sumptous.com, as I wanted to learn how to do squats properly. I watched some videos, and realized that I nned to reall sit back into them, and to go much lower than I had been.
Fast forward to my group fitness class today. I did about 10 min of walking yeasterday (for a test), but otherwise I had not exercise for 3 days prior. I've taken this class before, adn it's alwsys challenging, but I can do it.
Anyway, we were doing squats, so I started pracrticing my mewly learned form. After about 18 or so (less than half of teh # throughout the class), I felt like my legs were about to give out. I had to stop and just step it out. I did a few more later in teh class, but my thighs were just shaking and I could not complete a full set for teh rest of teh class.
I ate and drank "normally" today and yesterday, I do not think I was dehydrated. Teh only other difference is that I was keeping my HR higher this class, in teh 140's-160's instead 120-140, as I just learned that my AT is 171, not 140 like I thought.
Could using proper form cause them to be that fatigued that quickly? Or was it that my HR was a bit higher, prob in the 150's, so zone 2, while I was doing them.
I almost fell down teh stairs after the class, and my legs just wanted to buckle and give out. Any ideas??? TIA!

Lunges and squats both, if you're doing them correctly are HARD and can cause you to be seriously sore. And you should NOT be able to do a ton of them. Quality is MUCH better than quantity. Back when I was working, I took a class where we were learning how to perform a max functional lifting test (lifting a box off the floor onto various shelves). Of course, we had to demonstrate proper form at all times. I seriously could not walk for a good 3 days afterwards, I was so sore!
