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

    You did this one with me in 2017! LOL

    :) 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.

    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? KJ

    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!! 😊

    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!😊

    :) I absolutely agree. So many people talk about how they met a goal and then slacked off and gained weight or lost strength or went back to their old ways and had difficulty recovering.

    :) I do sumo squats and use a counter for balance. The older I get, the smarter I get about staying safe. Because our squats may be different, our numbers may mean different things. That's why I say that my challenge is with myself and not with anyone else.

    I did 20 today on the foam mat at therapy. Am going to try for 20 every other day. I agree Barbie-we challenge ourselves. Squats are different for each person based upon their own physical issues.
