I'm going to try 5 squats every time I use the rest room. Hopefully I can get 50 in per day! I do standing leg lifts and calf raises while I brush my teeth to try to get the muscles moving.1

I did a squats challenge years ago and liked it. I think it would be a good idea for me to do it again.

I am using this thread to challenge myself. I used to do squats all the time and then lost the habit. My first step is to build a structure (when and where I can do a brief series of squats--10 at a time to start and where on how to keep track.)
Then I can challenge myself to do more and to do them regularly. I don't much care about someone else's plan or numbers nor do I see an end day. I like this thread as a place to keep track and encourage others. Barbie 2 -

I will be joining you on Monday the 29th. It has been a few years since I have done a squat challenge. Even though I am up and down all day with the kids; I have noticed that my leg strength isn't what it was five years ago. So...I will give this a shot. Does it matter what kind of squat? KJ1

It doesn’t matter what squat you do. I’m starting out by holding on to the counter to do mine. My joints are not what they used to be either. Just the 2 times I’ve done them so far, my thighs feel them!! 😊1 -
Barbie, there shouldn’t be an end to keep strong. In aiming for at least the 5 week level and staying there. More if I feel like it. This thread is to keep me going and logging how many I do. Good motivation!😊
