Dahnizia Colmenar doesn’t yell. She doesn’t threaten to take away the phone. She has a secret weapon against bad behavior: the isometric squat. 😂
This American content creator, known for combining her life as a mom with her passion for fitness, posted a video explaining her favorite military-style discipline method, which she uses when her children don’t want to listen to her.
Dahnizia makes her children do isometric squats. You lower yourself and position yourself as if it were a normal squat, but you stay there without going up or down, making the muscles work statically.
However, just a few seconds in this position are enough to make your muscles burn silently, and Dahnizia’s children know it very well.
The influencer posted the video with the caption: “We’re going to have a full personal training session, since you can’t listen”, and that summed up the entire parenting philosophy that sparked the debate.
The clip accumulated more than 2,5 million likes and thousands of comments from parents who swore they’d copy the technique that very night. Because let’s be honest: you’d rather do squats than put up with a tantrum, wouldn’t you? 🙋♀️
