    I want to try this. I have such bad balance though. Anyone have any suggestions on a good way to balance myself at home while moving in and out of the squat position? When I used to do these in the gym my trainer had me use a stabilization ball behind my back and lean against a wall but I do not have a ball at home.

    Good morning everyone, I would like to join this challenge. Can it be different sets of squats or you have to do them all in a row? Are there rules to it! I'm so excited I'm back on track and I have lost 3lbs this week so anything extra I can do I'm all for it! Count me in!

    Not wanting to be a bore, but - is there a point to doing 250 squats in one set, apart from damaging your knee joints?

    Even in progressive bodyweight calisthenics, you don't want to be doing loads of reps because the exercise is easy, you should be working to something more like three or four sets of 8 - 12, then looking for a more difficult bodyweight exercise to keep the intensity up with lower reps, otherwise there is no strength gain.

    Ok, I think I'll try to do this - going on vaca soon so I could do these anywhere, no excuses. But, do you have to do them all at the same time? A little out of shape so I think I'll break it up until I'm able to do more of them. :smile:

    I really do not see how someone could do 100 squats all at once...I have to break it up or I'll get BORED and give up quickly...but I would like to try....I'll start day 1 today! I'm in!

    I think the point is the achievement of being able to do 250 squats. Maybe do it in frount of your tv so your not board. It shouldn't take long any how.

    I hope to do this challenge twice, the second time with weights. Although my quads are quite sore after doing the 55 today.

    I want to try this. I have such bad balance though. Anyone have any suggestions on a good way to balance myself at home while moving in and out of the squat position? When I used to do these in the gym my trainer had me use a stabilization ball behind my back and lean against a wall but I do not have a ball at home.

    I had trouble with this when I first started so I picked up some tips on Mark Sisson's website (he does great videos of how to progress push-ups etc too!). I used the wall first of all (without the ball, I didn't press hard back into it, just enough to keep my balance) then progressed onto having my little stepping stool (it's lower than my knees) behind me and I lower myself down until I can just touch it lightly and no more. It took a while but I can do them without the stool now though I might put it back when I get into the hundreds to give me something to collapse on if it all gets too much lol

    His website is www.marksdailyapple.com if you want to see how he does it - it's very useful and definitely improved my form for lots of movements.
