These can be separate challenges but I suggest you try them as a group challenge for a little something extra! :love:

do 4days on and every 5th day is a rest day.



Make sure you are doing your squats properly. http://www.builtlean.com/2010/07/20/how-to-do-proper-squat-technique/

Squats are a great exercise for your butt!

if you aren't being challenged enough do these with a kettlebell.

    Hi, I'm Amy from Jacksonville, Florida. I'm in my 50's. I would like to join in on this challenge and continue on with the group. I do have some injuries that keep me from doing some things. In this challenge, I can't do any lunges due to my knee, and won't be able to do the regular squat. I'm going to go for it with the rest of this challenge. these challenges have been looking like they are great for us all. You all seem to be people who try hard, and that's nice.

    Amy, feel free to always change any of the challenges that you need to in order to do them safely. You can always add extra sets of those things you can do if you need to take something out of a challenge.

    Completed the butt workout today. After doing it 3 times you definitely don't also need to do the squat challenge. It has that more than covered. Works your core too. :)

    Feb 6: BC day 1 complete
    Feb 7: BC day 2 complete. I added in a hip adduction after each side lunge. It felt like that was missing.
