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 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

Did squats today and mine was more like 20' date=' 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:[/quote']

Are you doing just your body weight?

Can I join in? Where are we at?

You absolutely can join in! I'm on day 5. I started at 10 squats one day one, and I am going up by 10 every day. You can alter it to whatever your skill level is.

I've just started a running program... I wonder if I could alternate squats and run days?

Yup, very good for inner thighs.

I'm doing c25k and will do the last day of week 6 tomorrow. It's a 9 week program. Ideally, I'll be up to 5k in three weeks, but I think that might be ambitious... I'm supposed to run for 22 minutes with no walking breaks tomorrow.
