    I completed one, and my legs are MUCH firmer and more toned!! I was sorethefirst couple of days, now not at all... Might continue to do about 150-200 every few days just to keep the muscles. This is in addition to my 5k training.Oh, and I lost 1 1/4 inches off my waist and a pound!!

    I modified the challenge a little and added other areas I want to get better. This is what I'm doing, in addition to my regular exercises.
    I love your schedule, and I'm so impressed with a 3.5 minute plank at the end!

    Exactly. You can build the muscle to create shape, but you cannot spot reduce. Thank you someone gets it!

    My friend and I will be starting this challenge tomorrow...along with the sit up & push up challenge. I usually do not have a lot of time to exercise besides running on the treadmill so I figure this would be a nice addition and won't take a lot of time. Can't wait to start!

    ok, this is my first time posting a pic....

    30 day squat challenge before and after, month of April. I notice my bum being higher also. This was hell on my knees, FYI, so for maintenance will be doing other moves that don't involve all that knee bending. I did reg squats, plie squats, bowlers lunges, split squats.

    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! :)

    ^^^ I agree with her. And if you keep doing the same things day in and day out, your muscles will get used to it and stop responded. Trust me, I know..I've been there! I was doing squat challenges, too, but never 2 months in a row so that my butt doesn't stop responding to them. And doing 275 squats in one day is just ridiculous..

    you need to be doing cardio to burn the fat AS WELL AS these, or else you won't see the results, and you NEED to take rest days to allow the muscle to recover (and 'grow') otherwise you'll have wasted all that effort for nothing
