I did 70 bear squats every day for a week — here’s what happened to my quads

The bear squat engages your entire body, builds core strength and improves ankle and hip mobility — all while your hands and feet remain on solid ground. 

There are several variations of the quad-torching exercise, but this one is the hardest, in my opinion. So for some reason, I chose to do it 70 times every day for one week. Starting from a tabletop position, you can simply lift your knees and send your hips back towards your heels to do the bear squat. It might not seem like much, but as the reps build, the tension in your muscles skyrockets.
