    I am curious. Doing so many squats/ crunches is that really beneficial? I know some excericises I am told after you get to a certain point is not really beneficial and you should try something else. I would like to start one of these challenges but I just want to be sure this is ok.

    Well, I dont really have an answer for you, BUT, I do know that its better than doing nothing at all. I just completed the 30 day squat challenge. My legs feel stronger, even my lower back feel stronger and my legs look more toned. Its also helped me with my running speed since my legs have more strength. So For me, it works. But everyone is different.....

    Loving the reverse crunch idea! We did 30 crunches last night - 15 regular & 15 reverse.. definitely going to try and do that the whole way through!
