ON DAY 9....... 100 SQUATS TO DO! OUCH OUCH!! ))

swagnificent3

Myself and a few others started the 30 day squat challenge today along with the 5/100 Fitness Challenge by Gwen Ro. The fitness challenge consists of 5 exercises (jumping jacks, burpees, squats, pushups and situps and 4 weeks. The first week you do 20 of each exercise second week you do 40 of each exercise, 3rd week 60 of each exercise and the fourth week 80 of each exercise. The rules are you must complete one exercise right after the other (no breaks in between and no breaking the exercises into sets) . For example, you can't do 10 jumping jacks, rest and then finish the other 10. And you can't do all 20 jumping jacks then rest before starting your burpees and so on. It can be found on www.bootcampaerobics.com.

Will be doubling up on squats but that just means I'll have some strong legs, thighs and quads. )

I'm excited!

My knees are too bad to do those squats. Anyone know of an alternate move to get the same workout without needing to go to a gym? I don't have a fit ball either.

I have done this before, about a month ago, and am starting again today 5/1. It's not that bad. Oh, you can feel it, but it makes your body so much stronger in the end! Good luck!

I've just finished day 13!! I forgot to take any measurements. :sad:

nickywire

Hey I was wondering if you guys could maybe help me out... I've never had knee problems before but I started this a while back (and I think I got up to like day 9 or 10) and while in the middle of doing my squats for the day, I felt like my calf/back of the knee area had been smashed by someone else with a bat :S

I would love to be able to do this challenge but I just don't know what happened...

allielare

Thanks for the posts! I have a very active 1 year old and fitting in 30 minutes of aerobics is tough, but I can do the challenge at work. I can't wait to see the measurements go down down down!~

micheleld73

What does the push up challenge you are referring to consist of? I'm doing one that another member started which is start with 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening. Add 5 more every other day until you reach 100 in a single day. I started this today.

1 regular
1 military
1 wide
1 elevated
1 diamond

You increase by one of each every day for 30 days.

OK I want in on the challenge. Pool party invitations are scaring me into excuses to why I can't suit up.

new82day

Still going on it! Must be day 13 today - getting more toned, getting harder now Im in my 100's! How the hell will I reach 250 of the on final day!

mewukbutterfly

Day 6 squats 80 . I can do this, juz drink my water like this :drinker: and Breathe

mewukbutterfly

Day 15 of Squat Challenge @ 140 squats it's both tough and easier in the sense of tough because its a lot and easier because wasn't able to get up so easily lol. Notice that this weekend. Have a great week everyone. .going to drink some water :drinker:

I have been wanting to try this! I do Crossfit four times a week and thought this sounded like a good add on. Do you do the squats all in a row? So when you get up into the hundreds you are doing them all at once?

Also, any ladies with knees problems have issues with this? Suggestions on alternatives?

Just want to be sure I know what I am getting myself into.
