30 day squat challenge

[Saraboo 21]

So, my best friend talked me into a 30 day squat challenge that starts tomorrow. Do squats 3 days , one day of rest, and repeat. Each day the amount of squats you do increases. I switched it up some so that I'm starting at a comfortable number. Attached are my before challenge picture(s)

I think kettle bell squats definitely count. Just adapt it to your abilities number wise. I'm even splitting up the ones I'm doing, half in the morning, half at night

I was just wondering that. What do you think you can do?

I have no idea. May be start with 20 and raise it if I can do more. I think maybe I can do it like 3 times a day?

I'm in! I am gonna start at like 10 or 15

[Saraboo 21]

I'm starting at 10 for the first day, so two sets of 5, and going up 5 per set each day. I don't think that there is any problem splitting them into 3 sets. Once I start hitting higher numbers i will probably start splitting them into more sets.

Excuse the butt in the picture, lol. That's the basis though for the challenge

go to lifegrit.com ( or you can search for a different producer at you app store) but there are great apps called 200 squats... will help you with a starting & ending goal and help you to achieve it....

there is also one called 100 pushups and 200 situps

I like this idea.

Yes...I'm game!!! The thing with squats....if you're not used to doing them.....embrace the muscle pain/soreness and push through.....you'll be glad you did. Now I'm talking about muscle as it pertains to quads and maybe a little hamstrings, not joint or back pain. From my experience, doing pretty much anything lower body releases those "feel good endorphins" and though I may be a little physically tired, doing squats puts me in a great mood! Use good form, stretch properly and let's get to it!!
