30 Day Squat Challenge - Anyone care to join me?

[babymama]

Hiya all,

Just been having a read through Heat magazine ... Subscription with freebies! And in the back I noticed some one mentioning the 30 day squat challenge, had to look it up online and I want to give it a go along with crunches too . Have to say I am quite looking forward to it and it seems like something easier to for me to do than going for a jog/run.

Does anyone care to join me? I'm going to start in the morning and whilst it would probably be easier to start this at the beginning of the month I'm going to highlight the days on my calender on the kitchen wall to remind me and keep track.

Please join me lol!

If I am brave enough I will do before and after pics, or that should be if I am brave enough to post them!!!

I started this but had a break as I over done it with other exercise and hurt my knee. I'm feeling better no, so I'd be happy to restart

[RedRevolver]

I'm up for this I need to start doing some exercise anyway, and squats are ones that I know I can do and work! Might throw in a 4kg kettlebell as well.

I was thinking on doing this myself, prisoner squats are supposed to really work on belly fat so think I'll give it a go

 

[Penny Marie Hampson]

Oh I am doing this too! Well I am beginning it tomorrow! Am looking forward to it even if I'm not that active! I'm going to do it! Thank you for the tip - marking it off on the calender! I'm going to do this

I started it but I questioned how good it actually is for anyone, especially those who don't do them correctly and probably will do more damage than good.
plus who really needs to do over 200 squats? What are you gaining by doing that many? It's not enjoyable, exercise should be fun ... for me this would put me right off exercising. I much prefer boot camp. x

I don't like going gym or to classes because it makes me feel fatter when I see all those lovely trim people I just get embarrassed. I know the gym or class is doing me good but I just don't like wearing gym clothes that make me wobble and bulge all over in front of people.

Squats are quick and easy to do alone, I agree as long as you do it correctly, but it's a means of self competition/motivation I might not get from anywhere else.

People are open to their own opinions, but you can't just write them off saying they don't work or that they are meaningless, useless etc. People obviously see a difference when they do them. Different things work for different people.

I started the 30 day squat/crunch/plank challenge - did Day 1 and couldnt move! had a lot to deal with at home so went off plan, gained a few lbs etc but it all starts again tomorrow, I'll be back on this! would be good if a few did it and took measurements before & after to compare inches lost??x:girlpower:

 

[Milkshake]

How long do you think it would take to do 250 squats?! I'm intrigued! X

 

[SoonSlimSophia]

I started this yesterday, and I literally cannot move today. Going to rest today and start day two tomorrow.

The more often you do it, the easier it will get.

 

[Achren]

I'm in. Also in for the crunches. When did y'all start and how you doing so far?
