Hi guys,
Hope all is well in Squattegedon! We are just starting out so I suggest we use one topic/discussion per week, to log when you've completed, if you have any questions and for all of us to be in this together.
I know we are all busy/diff time zones, so if you can't log everyday I do ask that everyone logs in their progress by the Sunday of every week.
Week 1: mon/tues: 15 squats and 15 lunges(per leg)
wed-sat: 20 squats and 20 lunges (per leg)
Sunday: Rest
Take pics, take measurements, it will be worth it!

And don't forget if you are a beginner, really do not be afraid to modify. My IG page (nalzino) has pictures of pulse lunges. which means you basically pulse up and down on the leg as opposed to stepping forward to lunge, esp good if you have knee issues or very overweight(that's how I started, no shame in the game!) and with squats too, you can sit INTO a chair, or hold one in front of you and only go half-way down. As time goes, you will get form correct and build strength to go deeper ie lower in the squat. Hope that helps!!0 -

Whoot whoot!! Day 3 can't wait to do mine, I was going to do them on my lunch but dammit I have the wrong shoes on today!! :sad: LOL0

I missed my squats and lunges yesterday.. but on purpose!! I had started working out in the gym with my fiance about 2 weeks ago and did leg exercises but man oh man did these lunges and squats kick my butt!! I did 25 each on Monday by mistake and I used a 10 pound kettle bell and I was way too sore to do my sets yesterday... but that's okay because I plan to make them up on Sunday!.. I took my before pictures and lets just say I can't afford to lose a day of squats, lol!!
Good luck everyone!! 0 -
Hey guys! So I have not logged in my squats and lunges, it's not because I've not been doing squats and lunges, but because I don't know if I should log in what I've been doing. I have a trainer, and he makes me do squats and lunges 5 days a week. I do between 50 - 150 squats a day and about 50 lunges. With the amount of squats and lunges I do 5 days a week, I don't know if I should do additional reps (that's the challenge) or If I should record the ones I do with my trainer? Please I need advice0

3/20 20 squats, 20 per leg lunges...done, I should've done them before I took the 5K prep class!!0

I picked the wrong week to try something new! My work & travel schedule is ridiculous at the moment! I am getting quite a few squats and lunges in with the Jillian Michaels workouts I do, but I don't think I can keep up with the challenge as well. Good luck ladies!! Can't wait to see who scoops that prize at the end!0

I hit the gym M, W and Thurs this week but do the squats and lunges in the morning before work at home!
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
You guys are ALL on FIRE!! Wow, this is such a great group!!
All I see is dedication and progress and it's only week 1. Wow! Keep it up all, and don't worry if you feel like it's too much to add to your routine, do what you can. Your booty will thank you later!
Have a wonderful weekend y'all, next week will be the beginning of the real BURN so *suggestion* to tweak your exercise regime to allow for all this extra lower body work. And I can not advocate enough STRETCH...the worst thing is hip and knee pain, and between stretching and good form, that should really be eliminated. Obviously as you gain strength in the muscles AROUND the knees/hips these issues lessen, but anyway if you are carrying lots of excess weight the joints are more strained-trust me, I am living proof- but as you lose weight and build that strength, it takes pressure off those joints=less pain. Some even swear by ice baths but I prefer warm soaks, and I also advocate taking some omega-3 type of supplement. I have been for over a year or so, it really helps!
HAPPY WEEKEND. GET THOSE SQUATS IN LADIES!0 -
WELL DONE!0
