Ok, so it runs in 3 day intervals per week. For me, I choose 1 or 2 days of rest then redo last set of 3 or start next. Depends how I'm feeling.

Name of app for Apple is Squats for Killer Curves. I did a search and it doesn't seem to be there any more, so I'll post the challenges here.

Week 1 Day 1
Warmup 5 minutes
5 squats
Rest 60 secs
6 squats
Rest 60 secs

    I do yoga stretches that include stretches for my hip bursitis. That's what I do in between too. Works for me anyway.

    Great job ladies. Remember small sets with at least 1 min rest between and you don't hurt!

    I f you started on the 5th, you a
    Should be resting, no squats, for 4 days... until tomorrow the 12 th, then start on week 2 day 1 only 56 squats. That's why your knees are barking. Too many too often. You have to let your muscles recover! I finished week 3 day 3 yesterday with 98 squats. Next 3 days.....no squats... not sore this way. I'll post day 3 of week 2 for you, but SLOW DOWN or you won't be able to complete the nine weeks! :)
