30 Day Toning Exercise Challenge - Honk if You Were 100% Today

[Clinquant]

I don't think I could ever do too many. I did wonder how you got to 180. Psyching myself up for that number tomorrow. I am finding it quite easy to do more at a time now but I definitely need a rest day to repair my poor old muscles.

WTF?Ive been doing too many squats,hahaha...never thought I'd say those words .

Yes seems as if I skipped a few days and have gone from the 150's to the 180's-no wonder Um whacked but at least I'm doing them.!!

It seems the wider your stance the more these squats target your inner thighs,a narrower stance works on the front leg (see that's what too many squats do,I think I'm an expert!!). And just to throw another idea out there-squats work way better when you're holding weights.

Is there an exercise that specifically targets lower legs so that I can squash my fat calves into a pair of boots ( when I say exercise I'm obviously ignoring aerobic exercise)

haha you're off your head doing more than you needed to...fair play though...maybe continue at this higher rate now you've started? It's only 10 days left...go on

i believe the best exercise for calves is the one where you stand and go up and down on your toes/balls of your feet in several reps....certainly tones them....I was tempted to do the squats with weights...might add weights when I do lunges next month x

Yes,I'm obviously off my head,it's not as if I actually enjoy exercise or anything,hence being here in the first place but I suppose once you start doing them it's not really that bad.

Last night I did some in the shower,got out and started the remaining ones only to find I sweated so much I had to get back into the shower?I dread to think what I look like in a gym...with real people!!!!!

Seriously my thighs are killing me-it reminds me of what it used to be like many moons ago when I went horse riding-John Wayne hasn't a patch on me today.

I suppose it's not my calves per se MrsFTB,just general fatness on my lower leg preventing me from zipping up normal long boots-will this fatness go with the rest of the fatness?I WANT a normal pair of long boots-it's my dream!!!

for someone who hates exercise you're doing pretty amazing...there is no way I could accidentally do more...and doing them in the shower too....you're ace haha!

if you're walking like John Wayne then its deffo working....it's worth looking like a weirdo for a while haha!

funny you should mention the normal boots challenge....I have a pair of boots that I loved and wore all the time...patent and smart...the sole has come apart and can't be fixed...so I figured surely I can fit into a normal pair as they were normal too...went to Dune...the only boots I liked...got stuck on my old fat calves but skinny on the ankles...arggghhhh!

We will get in them...soon! Xx

190 friggin' squats last night..woohooo-I'm so determined to get 3 lbs off this week that I'll try anything

 

[Clinquant]

Got my little office to myself today so cracking through them. 80 down so still 100 to go. I do definitely feel as if my legs are getting stronger.

 

[Mrsfeeneytobe]

So glad it's nearly over...my bum best rival a Kardashian by next Saturday or heads will roll lol x

 

[xxmariexx]

180 squats done. Now to hobble in a very undignified manner to bed

Your heads going to roll if we all don't have bums as humphs by 30 nov given it was your idea

Gotta find me first....I'll be the one waddling along in pain lol x

 

[Clinquant]

I'd be happy to waddle. I think I may have to be stretchered out tomorrow. The day after a rest day is always the worst. Really got the inner thighs today.

 

[xxmariexx]

My inner thighs feel like guitar strings that have been tightened beyond belief

[Clinquant]

I know I just checked the plan and realised that. And two of those are rest days

 

[Mrsfeeneytobe]

Yay! 6 more real days to plump tight buns x

DAY 11: DONE

 

[Clinquant]

I'm on a train going up north. Do you think anyone would mind if I did my squats in the aisle. Perhaps I could get them to join in. I feel the need to take this to the nation - Get Britain Squatting!
