    Had not heard of this one, unless I've forgotten? Is it along the lines of the pushup/sit up challenge website online?

    Thanks for the heads up I'll have to check it out, I love squats, they are so effective in so many ways! Now that I do them properly..:blushing: :wink:

    I didn't know about this 30 Day Challenge, but I have incorporated 100 squats into my routine in the last month and it def. helps! Make sure you eat plenty of protein because squats are going to build muscle like no other!

    work how? it's not some magic pill. you won't lose weight.
    it's to build strength

    also if you can do 250 squats your time would be better used doing less and using weights. as heavy as needed to make it challenging. or jump squats, or elevate 1 leg on a step. make it more challenging not just boring bw squats, and use your rest days every other day or more often.

    Wow, that looks pretty intense. I'm in my second week of the 30Day Shred by Jillian Micheals which consists of squats too but she incorporated cardio with strength... So, its jumping jacks or punches and jump rope, etc. then immediately into squats and arm lifts together to work multiple muscles at one time. Its pretty intense and there are three levels on my dvd. I have noticed a difference not only in the gluts but my arms and waist, allover!

    Should I do squats with a knee that crunches badly? Started the challenge yesterday but the noise put me off.

    I squat 100-130lbs, 3sets, 15 reps. It works!

    The challenge sounds good, lots of squats is better than no squats. But it makes me wonder, would you see more progress doing 100 dumb bell curls with a 5 lb weigh OR 10 curls with a 20 lb weight? Im guessing youd progress more with high weight, low reps.

    This is why I use heavy weight. BUT Im no expert. Can anyone tell me why this challenge would be better than using heavy weights?

    I didn't see anything about weight. Isn't there weight involved? I've started doing it with a kettlebell but interested in what others are doing.
