    I've been doing 50-70 squats a day, and after 6 days my boyfriend said he could see a slight diffidence, so I'm keeping it up. I've also watched my intake and workout a bit, but this is mostly just squats. I haven't lost weight, but my butt is a little firmer.
    Combined with exercise and healthy eating, I actually think squats are really great! Though my knees hurt at first it's does get better :)

    This is the squat challenge.

    Though I just do squats everyday.
    I started with 50, then 60 the next few days, and sometimes more. I've now set my goal to 60 to 100 a day. I do them in one go, or something like 30, then 5 second break and continue.

    Lunges are really great, but my knees hurt too much to do them.

    I've made a small daily workout routine for the butt that I'll do daily.

    60-100 squats

    30 hip bridge/hip raise - I don't know the word, but you lie on your back with bent knees and feet on the floor and raise your hip up and down using your butt muscles. I rest one foot on the other leg's knee and do 30 or more on each leg. Hope that makes sense.

    30 leg raises, each leg - I bent over 90 degrees, stand on one leg, the other one stretch out in a straight line from my body (straight line from head to toe, standing on the other leg) and raise my leg far up behind me, using the butt muscle.

    I don't know if its any good. I have a similar short routine for abs and arms/chest.

    I'm doing it, on day 7 so it's 80 squats today. I'm not finding it too difficult at the moment, but as it goes right up to 250 I'm sure I will!

    I joined a Facebook group for motivation, their profile pic has the days and amount of squats you are supposed to do :

    are you supposed to do them all at once, or do you break it up throughout the day or into sets?

    I haven't done this challenge but I do squats regularly on my own. My old Zumba instructor used to say... "When in doubt, SQUAT!" I always keep that in mind!

    i am on day 27...unfortunately I have only lost a few inches in my thighs I see no difference in my glutes...the good thing is though with each day I noticed my squats i can get lower that is the biggest difference from when i first started.

    When doing the 30 day squat challenge do you have to do all the squats in one set without rest? or could you do 2 sets with a number of reps?:smile:
