I read this about a month ago and LOVED it...but I was ashamed, because I couldn't even squat my bodyweight at that point (them bad knees, of course).
Now, after doing step-ups and leg presses, I can squat! Woo hoo! I'll be doing obeisance at the temple today, in fact...
BTW, for anyone out there good at photoshop, I had a good idea:
A skinny aerobic wench wakes up in bed, and clasps her hands to her cheeks in consternation, looking down at Platz's thighs, with a speach bubble that says, "Sheila was right! I shouldn't have tried squatting!" Caption below: Poster found in aerobic teacher's locker.
