    Not sure if I can make it through the 30 days but I'm willing. Are all squats at one time or broken into reps?

    Did you make up this number per day, or is it a program floating around?

    I found it on-line, and it looked challenging enough so I Decided to try. I created a group "30 Day Squat Challenge" if you want to join :)

    Starting my first round tonight. Found this, thought we may find it useful...

    To calculate the amount of calories you burn while doing squats without additional weights, multiply your weight by .096. Take the answer and multiply it by the amount of minutes you perform the exercise. For instance, if you weigh 160 lbs. and you take 15 minutes to complete your squats, you will burn approximately 230 calories.

    Wouldn't it be better to do them every other day so you muscles have some time to rest?

    Also, form is important. Make sure that when you perform a squat that your thighs go parallel to the floor (don't be afraid to go down) and that your feet are about shoulder length apart.

    Um. if you want to make a difference in your bootie you need to to do low squats (hips parallel to or below knees) with actual weight.

    Start with an empty Oly bar - 45 lbs. and work up, adding 5# each day, 5 sets of 5 reps 3 days/week.

    This is a challenge that came at a really good time for me, so thanks for posting it!
    I did the first 50 today, just with my own body weight. I did it in sets of 10 with a little walking around between each set. I just want to firm up everything and not get too bulky. I have no bar unless I go to the far away gym, I do have some 1lb, 2lb and 4lb dumbbels at home can I hold them out in front of me instead?

    Need to buy more equipment. All I have available is 5lb dumbbell. Any is better than none though, with or without weights. I will check into Oly bars though, could get a lot of use out of one. Thanks for the tip ;)
