30 day squat challenge

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'm a wimp so I did 25 last night and go for an increase of ten per day on days I don't jog. I even took a picture of my flabby tush to see if it helps things look better! Yikes!

  • 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 Sent from my iPhone using VST

Who took a picture of my butt and put it on here lol :-D

The images seem to have disappeared.

Does somebody have a text form of this challenge. I love doing squats during my stretch routine as they really stretch out the inner thighs and glutes, in a good way! Love it. Finally have an exercise to help blast that inner thigh area when working out at home (no big fancy inner thigh machines here). I also like to do mini squats where I hold down low and do little mini thrusts. Feels so good.

The original challenge starts with 50 squats. I'm personally starting at 10 and you go up in number everyday. So mine goes 10,20,30 a rest day, 40,50,60, a rest day and so on. When I get home tonight, I'll try to repost the full thing.

Ok, thanks. Will do something like your plan.

Got my 50 in for today :) day 1 for me

I'm in! I might start at 30 and move up by increments of two. I've been active a long time and the only thing that keeps me active is gentle pushes into harder stuff :)

I'm definitely the tortoise from the tortoise and the hare fable.

Did squats today and mine was more like 20, 30 and 30. That last set did me in. I'm used to doing 4-10 reps per set...so my legs feel like jello. :blink:

55 squats done 100 crunches done :)

60 done, next month I want to do ab challenge and maintain a certain number of squats. Well I say that now.

I'm going up by 10 squats per day, so by the time the 30 days is done, I will be at 230. But, in order for me to not burn myself out on them, I am splitting them up. How I split them up depends on if I'm running late in the morning or not, lol. If I'm running late, I'll do them at various intervals throughout the day. Like today, I'm doing some every time I go to use the restroom.

This sounds like a good plan. Count me in.

60 squats 100 crunches done :) tomorrow is a rest day for me :)

Are you adding any weight when you do the squats or just using your body weight?
