Hi Team Bob!!!!:flowerforyou: Let me just start by saying how happy I am to be your team captain and that you all really do make me proud with your participation and healthy lifestyle efforts. You guys are the best ever!!
Are you ready for the week two challenge? I am!
This is a two part challenge. This post is going to be for the exercise. Our challenge exercise this week is to do 50 squats per day. If you can do more, do more. If you can't do that many, do less. If you are not able to do a squat for some reason, just pick another exercise this week that you are ready to push yourself on. I know 50 sounds like a lot, but you are welcome to do them in parts throughout the day (say 10 at a time for example) or all at once. It is up to you. Squats are wonderful to target your butt and thighs. For proper form, here is some information:
Stand with feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart. Place arms directly out in front of you, squat until your knees reach 90 degrees, keeping your body upright and knees behind toes. Pretend that you are about to sit in a chair. Press up to starting position, and repeat.
*Note: Keep back upright and straight.
Target: Lower
Equipment Needed: none
There are a lot of videos online too that show proper form. Just go to google and type in videos of squat form and tons will come up for you to look at if you need it.
Please post on here daily if you did your squats, if you needed to modify the challenge, if you are sore :laugh: , and to cheer on your teammates.

Have a healthy, fun week team!!

Oh my goodness!!!! I took my first ever spin class tonight. Dear God... I hurt. :blushing: I did it though and the teacher said he thought I had done it before. The lady next to me though I did really well too. I'm just glad I didn't vomit!:ohwell: I also got my 50 squats in. I did 30 before class and 20 after class.0

Fifty done. I will set a personal goal of 100. I was out and about today so I didn't think it would be appropriate to just stop what I was doing to squat a few times. LOL0

Wonderful job pushing yourself with the squats. They are quite a burn but a fabulous exercise. I almost bought my 19 year old daughter a workout shirt this Christmas that said "Shut up and squat!". :laugh:
Good luck with your boxing class today! My daughter loves boxing and recently bought her own big punching bag and stand. Let us know how it goes. I think it is awesome you are trying something new!!0 -
And I'll see your '50'... - Wed done (I'm still wondering if we are on Tues-Mon or Wed-Tues?)
Well done!
Heck if I know! I think we are Tues - Monday but I am not real clear on it. I will ask Pam later today and post it on here.0 -
