    ok I saw YannieJannie's post and thought I would do this. One of my goals was to do 25 - 50 Squats per day this month. I will give it my all... Since today is suppose to be rest day, I will start along with you tomorrow on Tuesday at 50 squats.

    Thanks Yanniejannie for the nudge...:wink:

    You go people!! We have a good group! Today is a rest day, and tomorrow we begin again with 55. For you late joiners, start where you want, and you can split them into sets to make it easier. When I get up to the higher number, I split them up into sets of 20 to 25 and do them throughout the day. The idea is to get you moving! This is my second go round and I'm loving the accountability and routine of this challenge. Welcome everyone! :happy: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: this may be a rest day from squats, but for those of us who walk dogs, there is never any rest.

    :flowerforyou: I do my squats while walking the dogs so I do short sets of however many I can do while the dogs are sniffing----maybe 1 or maybe 20

    55 done here, too! 20---25---10.............by the time I got to the last 10, I was hearing the music from "Rocky" in my head; never did squats before. My DH has me doing what he calls "prisoner" squats---elbows up and hands locked behind head........is this right??? Seems harder than it would/should be with arms down??????

    Hands locked behind your head? Your DH is torturing you! LOL :noway: I stretch my arms in front of me for balance.
