Day 1, July 1st, 50 squats CHECK IN

Options
Hey everyone today is the first day of our challenge. Im excited to see the results at the end of the month. Daily I will post what day we are on and the number of squats. In these threads we can discuss how we are feeling. How our eating went for the day. Other exercises we do. Any issues were dealing with. Basically just a check in that is all inclusive for our day. Its 2 am and I have already completed my squats for the day LOL. I may double up and do a second set later. Good luck friends and lets do this together.

    2am! Are you nuts? Do you not know where your bed is? Only joking of course.

    Day 1 - 50 squats about to be done, so we'll call it a tick for today.

    Good luck everybody, we can do this.:smile:

    Seriously, did you do ALL 50??? It has been a long time since I did squats, and I will admit... I will be back later! -- IF I can walk today Ha Ha! Good job creating this thread, I was beginning to get complacent when I saw I lost a few pounds...

    Omg it's 11:30am here and I'm really scared to do my squats!!

    Honestly, I really am!
    How did you guys do them? Throughout a period of time? Or all at once?

    Fingers crossed I can actually do this.. I just can't go all the way down properly :(

    ashleigh0608 - what's to be scared about, it's like sitting down on a chair but with more control, you can do it. Did you watch the youtubevideo link that kreationsforhome posted, here it is again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPYCiuiB4PA. Worth watching to get your form right :smile:

    Today, I did 10 squats in 5 sets with about a 30 second rest in between each set, took my time doing them. As the amount increases, I'll probably aim to divide them throughout the day.

    Day 1 done. It was an unfortunate reminder how out of shape I am. I did 2 sets of 25 each with about a 15 minute break. But my 16 month old woke up and needed some attention. I need to go out and buy a tape measure today so I can compare measurements when this is done!

    50 squats done plus I did 5 miles on the treadmill! I'm going to try and get a walk in before work also! I can't wait to go on vacation! It's going to be in the 70's so I'll be able to get a morning run in!

    You can do it hon! Just do 5 sets of ten, take a break between sets and pretend you are about to sit down in a chair. Keep your weight in your HEELS. Watch a youtube video (I think the woman above posted a vid) LOVE U!!! WE GOT THIS :)
