    So far, so good, I certainly feel those muscles...
    The good thing about squats is that it doesn't matter, where you are. No equip needed, no clean floor needed (I'm not going to do pushups in a restroom :wink: )

    Just found this challenge. Will give it a try. Don't think I can go from 0 to 100 in one day but we will see!

    Did 110 yesterday and 100 already today. I did them when I had little moments at work today.

    For several reasons, I skipped 3 days :/ I'll try to include them during this week. Not all in one day, which would be probably more useless than helpful, but maybe 130-150 per day, so I catch up on a bit more than a week.
    I'm not sure yet, whether it's really a good idea or just ridiculous to catch up just for the sake of the number. It's more about consistency than the specific repetitions, I assume.

    I saw this and thought it was a great idea...100 squats? hmmmm.... I was wondering why nobody's still doing it? Maybe 100 is too much? Anyone here have some imput?

    I think we're still a few who at least try to ;) Plus I don't think that there were that many to start with?

    I don't think that the 100 per se are the problem, they can be nicely split and done more or less anywhere. However, keeping them in mind and remembering to do them (ideally at a moment without any audience and some free time) is the real challenge here. I really forget about them sometimes and if the day is hectic or my office buddy is around, I can't do them like on the other days and suddenly you're in bed and refuse to get up again because you remember your damn squats at 11:42pm :wink:

    I did 150 yesterday and am halfway for today.

    I've done mine yesterday, although I have terribly sore muscles. I started a Kettlebell training with a DVD of Jillian Michael's, which also includes some squats and the upper back of my thighs are burning. I even dread using the restroom because squatting down is really uncomfortable ;)
    It's getting better today *yay*
