    That's what I was thinking, which is why my eyes bulged at the regimen.

    I am ALL FOR a squat challenge, but it needs to be a reasonable and healthy one. Is there a way we could modify this to accommodate for busy schedules, too?

    Oh, I was talking about "weight lifting" as you used the term. These are body weight squats I think. I'm not sure if you need to rest, sorry. I just know that the challenges don't have much of a point.

    Do you get results from body weight squats? I usually do squats with added weights.

    Stick with your weights then! Body weight work is great, but challenges...in the end, you'll be more efficient at squats, you won't see much change to your body, and as you mentioned...for some, especially beginners who are not using proper form, it can be overkill.

    The weights actually help with my balance and form (my husband has a weight belt I like to use, too), so I'll stick to that.

    You must have not read the part where I said I use added weights.

    whatever you do, do it well !!!

    and my only suggestion is to warm up those glutes first, get them firing properly. Try cook hip thrust, glute bridges, clamshells , bird dogs for examples or just google " glute activation"
