    Although I missed the first two days I am going to start this tonight! I am a newbie to the gym/fitness thing so I will only be doing normal squats with no weights!

    How is everyone doing? I am not very fit....so here is my progress.... Day one and two great! Day 3 I skipped. Day 4....I made myself make up day 3 and I did day 4.....and I am almost done with Day 5....70 squats.

    You may laugh, but I figure, it is hard to do it at night, with kids/husband around....so now, when I go to the bathroom at work I do 10. I am really trying to concentrate on holding my position, to feel the burn. my knees feel much more stable on day 5 than 1....amazing. good luck!

    Do you have to do them all at one time? I'm not sure if I could do 250 squats in one workout, Or is it just in one day
