Dr. Seuss Squats for Confidence
Oh, hello there, my little friend I have a story that I'd love to extend
It's about your legs and how they're so grand
And how they can help you feel oh so grand!
You see, my dear, there's a correlation
Between leg strength and confidence, without hesitation
Studies have shown that those who can stand
And move about with ease, feel more in command
One study conducted by researchers so keen
Found that older folks with strong legs were seen as more confident and less likely to fall
Their legs gave them power, that's all!
Another study, from a land far away
Found that young athletes who trained every day
Built up their leg strength and felt more secure
In their abilities, which made them endure
So if you're feeling shaky, and a little bit blue
It's time to get moving, that's what you should do!
Go for a run or take a long walk
Or do some squats, that's how you should talk!
Your legs will thank you, and so will your brain
You'll feel more confident, it's not in vain
So let's get to work, and strengthen those legs
And soon enough, you'll be full of brave dregs!
In conclusion, my little friend
The correlation between leg strength and confidence will never end
So take care of your body, with all your might
And your confidence will grow, shining bright!
