    Myself and a few others started the 30 day squat challenge today along with the 5/100 Fitness Challenge by Gwen Ro. The fitness challenge consists of 5 exercises (jumping jacks, burpees, squats, pushups and situps and 4 weeks. The first week you do 20 of each exercise second week you do 40 of each exercise, 3rd week 60 of each exercise and the fourth week 80 of each exercise. The rules are you must complete one exercise right after the other (no breaks in between and no breaking the exercises into sets) . For example, you can't do 10 jumping jacks, rest and then finish the other 10. And you can't do all 20 jumping jacks then rest before starting your burpees and so on. It can be found on www.bootcampaerobics.com.

    Will be doubling up on squats but that just means I'll have some strong legs, thighs and quads. :o)

    I'm excited!

    My knees are too bad to do those squats. Anyone know of an alternate move to get the same workout without needing to go to a gym? I don't have a fit ball either.

    I have done this before, about a month ago, and am starting again today 5/1. It's not that bad. Oh, you can feel it, but it makes your body so much stronger in the end! Good luck!

    Hey I was wondering if you guys could maybe help me out... I've never had knee problems before but I started this a while back (and I think I got up to like day 9 or 10) and while in the middle of doing my squats for the day, I felt like my calf/back of the knee area had been smashed by someone else with a bat :S

    I would love to be able to do this challenge but I just don't know what happened...

    Thanks for the posts! I have a very active 1 year old and fitting in 30 minutes of aerobics is tough, but I can do the challenge at work. I can't wait to see the measurements go down down down!~

    What does the push up challenge you are referring to consist of? I'm doing one that another member started which is start with 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening. Add 5 more every other day until you reach 100 in a single day. I started this today.

    1 regular
    1 military
    1 wide
    1 elevated
    1 diamond

    You increase by one of each every day for 30 days.

    I have been wanting to try this! I do Crossfit four times a week and thought this sounded like a good add on. Do you do the squats all in a row? So when you get up into the hundreds you are doing them all at once?

    Also, any ladies with knees problems have issues with this? Suggestions on alternatives?

    Just want to be sure I know what I am getting myself into. :)
