Help a girl out!
I'm so new to this. I'm basically a twig. 5'2 98 pounds. I wasn't always, and as weird as it sounds after I had my girls (3 years old and 9 months old) I just lost all my curves. I'm so desperate to get them back but I just can't keep the weight on. My life in general is pretty active. I had a friend suggest doing squats to help get my thighs and butt back to where I want them. I just have no idea where to start. I've watched videos and I'm up to doing 100 a day at this point (I started about a week ago) I just don't know if I'm doing them correctly because while my thighs are sore it's not crazy like I expected and I can't feel any soreness in my butt at all (😂) is that normal? I also have literally zero time for a gym because again I'm a mom of 2 who also works 40+ hours a week. And I have no equipment because let's face it, I can't afford to spend money like that on myself. Any help is beyond appreciated! Teach me your ways 💜 also if anyone has any suggestions for any type of supplement shakes for weight gain that would be great too!

Make sure you're using good squat form and not just going down and up. You wanna try to keep your knee caps behind your toes, and for me it helps to "reach" back with my butt while I'm going down. Go down to about a 90 degree bend in the knee and back up.
