    Just doing squats to get in shape is like just doing crunches to get a 6-pack. It won't do anything. You need to do other exercise to get the fat off your body to be able to see the bigger and more toned glutes and leg muscles from all of those squats. And of course keep up your new and amazing eating habits learned from tracking here on MFP! :)

    Who said anything about just doing squats!! It's just a fun challenge. If you don't like it Don't do it. ;)

    [/quote]Are you doing this all in one sitting, or just throughout the day. I am VERY interested in adding this to my daily routine.

    Bump out of curiosity myself. Considering how frequently I see this challenge, here and elsewhere, there is a notable lack of any discussion or evidence of anyone seeing any beneficial results. Makes me increasingly skeptical that this may not be such a good idea.

    I'm halfway through this challenge. I've definitely upped my endurance (140 squats!) and I noticed a difference in my running. My legs are sore for sure. I haven't taken pictures yet, since I want to wait until after I'm done. However, I have noticed a slight "lift" in the bottom area. :happy:

    Edit: This is also in addition to Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, Couch to 5K, strength training 3 days a week, walking over 3 miles a week and any other little exercise I can fit in.

    Hello Fitness Friends!

    I am well over halfway with the 30 day squat challenge so I thought I would share my progress. I combine my daily challenge with a 3 mile run prior to my squats. Because I was a runner prior to the challenge, I never really felt sore. If you are in somewhat decent shape, the challenge is designed to ease you into the heavy reps, so just follow the plan exactly and you will get through it. Once I started to get to the heavy reps, I added a minute rest after every 50 squats. Remember, form is more important then speed. Its worth it to pace yourself and do it right.

    Tonight I will complete 190! May 7th is my final day 250, yikes!. I dont have any pics, but I can tell you that my legs have toned up. There were some unsightly dimples on my thighs which have now disappeared!! Just in time or summer, thank goodness!

    I did this challenge, and when I got to the higher reps, I broke them up by 50-75 at a time with 30-60 rest in between. I could definitely see a difference, but still have 35-40 pounds to lose. Biggest difference is a lift in my rear and more definition in my thighs, for someone over 50 this is huge. I did this in addition to my regular workout. Sorry I didn't do pics. Keep up the good work.

    I definetly agree that this has to be in combination with other fat burning exercises and a good diet, but doing a crap ton of squats is never a bad idea. Every trainer I have talked to say squats is the best thing for your backside as far as getting it toned and in shape. I am currently on day 7 I think?? I took some before shots but am waiting till the end to see the results. I am incorporating the squats into my everyday routine.
