Tuesday = 200 squats! You know you love them or at least love to hate them, either way love is involved!

Since I started these mini challenges (a little over a month ago?) I have noticed a serious change in my glutes! My stability in certain yoga poses and core strength has increased noticeably!

I just want to remind everyone it really is important to keep good form, without it you risk injury but ALSO miss out on the maximum benefit of the exercise!

Level 1 = against a wall (can use an exercise ball or towel)

Level 2 = air squat

Level 3 = with weights

Sets of 20-30 and you can break them up!

Post back when you are done by midnight with what you accomplished :)

So who's down??????

    Any chance of more of an explaination about level 1 wall - is it holding your hands out against the wall, or your back??

    I'm in. Its your fault if I can't do my pilates class tonight! :tongue: How do you log that as exercise on here, or is it strength (sorry for dim question!)?

    Wall squats are against the wall and you slide your back down it for stability.

    Babies are weights! See how many you can do holding a baby ;)

    If you do 25 squats after every trip to the bathroom today you could fit them in, they really don't take long and are completely portable!


    To log:
    Many sets broken up over the day as strength training
    But if in just 2-4 sets I think calisthenics :)
