Day 12.... 65 squat minimum

Anyone doing jump squats?
Let's challenge ourselves and do 30 jump squats and 35 traditional squats

Jump squats is when you jump a little into the air and land into a squatting position
don't worry you don't have go jump and touch the sky...a small jump is key

This is not a required part of the challenge... but I thought it would be an added challenge.
Feel free to look at videos on YouTube for examples of a jump squat

    Done! :)
    Not the jump ones though... I did my squats straight after 30DS, which had plenty of jumping in it already haha!
    Maybe I'll do extra jump ones later :)

    Day 12 - 65 squats DONE Oct 5

    Still doing the squats in one set, and still holding the dumbbells.

    Sorry, but there's no way I can add any exercise with jumps -- or any impact at all for that matter -- due to back injuries.

    I'll stay in for as long as I can and do as much as I can, but I mustn't even attempt plyometric variations. That doesn't mean I don't think they're not a great addtion for those who can do them, as I believe they offer significant benefits, both for weight loss and for building bone mass. I wish I could do them, but I really mustn't.

    So I'm still in, but at the more basic level.

    I did a set of 35 this morning! It seems a little lame next to most people here, who can do all 65 in one set - but this is HUGE for me!! Previously, my largest sets were 25, so this was a huge jump that I pushed for this morning! I couldn't really walk afterwards, but I did it! :) I'll do another 40 later, but I'll probably have to break them into 2 more sets.

    ETA: And no, I didn't jump. For starters, I live on the top floor, so I think my neighbor might get pretty ticked at me jumping before 6am!

    Wish I had read this before I did my 3 mile run and HIIT :cry:

    However....I did do it. with the jumping squats....and sh1t my thighs are letting me know they are not happy with me right now :grumble: .

    Also just to let you know, I will be in sunny Gran Canaria for a week from tomorrow so while I won't be able to log in and post I will continue with the challenge but I won't know of any variations so will just be doing regular squats until I am back.

    See you all in a week.

    I did my regular squats.. still trying to catch up. I was sick Wed and Thur and most of today. I haven't exercised *gasp* since Wed morning and won't be doing so tomorrow either, since it's my day off from formal exercises. That being said, I did do 65 squats today, yay! I'll go back to jump squats on Sun with my workout.

    Did my 65. Was feeling proud of myself, but now I sort of feel like a failure for not doing the more advanced version. I thought the point of this was to keep adding more each day- that seems like enough of a challenge to me. Maybe I'm just in even worse shape than everyone else.
