Week 11 Challenge - Squat it like it's hot!!

Honeytips

Okay, I agree with everyone that this board seems to be dying out....we all need to try and revive it as much as possible!!! I thought that I'd start a challenge (though it's a bit disheartening when you try to start one and then you realise that you're the only one doing it/posting!!)

So our week 11 challenge is 'Squat it like it's hot' (saw this name on a facebook workout page and thought that it was so much better than just leaving the name as plain squats) - Your goal if you choose to accept is to do 350 squats for the entire week (average of 50 squats per day).

Select however you want to squat - normal squats, use of weights, squats with pulses etc. and let's get this started!!

Report back every day or whenever you're able to and let us all know where you're at with your squats. Can't wait to see your replies!!!

    Got my 50 in for today. I'm really enjoying this challenge. It may lead me to seek out a 30 day squat chalkenge!

    Love the idea of push ups (even though I totally suck at them!!) Anyone else for push ups or know of any other great arm exercises?
  • sunflowerhippi
    sunflowerhippi Posts: 1,099 Member
    Yup, I am more likely to do push ups, lol I have a bad knee and it clicks and grinds every up and down when I squat and drives me nuts!

    Or planks!

    Okay, looks like it's going to be push-ups next week and maybe we can do a plank one soon after that. How many push-ups do you think? Stick with 350? more? less?

    I can only do 10 regular push ups a set so that is 5 sets in the day so not too bad. I would stay stick with 350, then maybe 5 planks * 30 seconds = 150 seconds/ 2.5 minutes * 7 days = 17.5 minutes
