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

I'm doing c25k and will do the last day of week 6 tomorrow. It's a 9 week program. Ideally' date=' 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.[/quote']

Good luck! My plan is to eventually start that. Not quite ready though.

Oh my gosh, I did like squats on steroids today in my cross fit class. We held a 20-30 lb medicine ball (may have been heavier), squat and on the way up out of squat, threw the medicine ball high up against the wall and caught it on the way down above our head, repeat. I need to work on these! My upper body strength and core are so weak, but are going to get better as cross fit continues to kick my butt.

Well I was sore on day 3 doing 20 but on day 5 I attempted 25 and I was able to complete it so I'm looking forward to doing my 30 tonight ;)

Last Thur....20, 25, 33 (got the most I possibly could on last set)

Today.....25, 30, 30 (then did a set of 15 hack squats since I was disappointed in my last set of regular back squats)

85 done for the day p90x abripper x done as well.

I can say that my thighs are definitely feeling tight all day long, lol. This going up 10 squats a day is killer.

Picked 100 squats today, and 60 of those were kettle bell squats!
