the big differences in the time it takes to do the same exercise is because a different style is tried out each time

this time it was decided to emphasise the enjoyment of the exercise rather than go for maximum effort

three blocks of wood... two under the soles of the feet and the other one under the heels

this enables a style of squatting which allows most of weight of the person to go through the heels
