Hi I'm very new to this site, but started trying to eat healthier and started doing daily cardio and resistance workouts.
So far on my own I have lost 9lbs and 6+ inches in a lil under a month, which has spurred me on to take things a lot more serious
So yeah I would love to try your challenge Count me in0 -

Here's the ACSM guidelines on the right thing
http://www.acsm.org/about-acsm/media-room/news-releases/2011/08/01/acsm-issues-new-recommendations-on-quantity-and-quality-of-exercise
Resistance Exercise
Adults should train each major muscle group two or three days each week using a variety of exercises and equipment.
Very light or light intensity is best for older persons or previously sedentary adults starting exercise.
Two to four sets of each exercise will help adults improve strength and power.
For each exercise, 8-12 repetitions improve strength and power, 10-15 repetitions improve strength in middle-age and older persons starting exercise, and 15-20 repetitions improve muscular endurance.
Adults should wait at least 48 hours between resistance training sessions.0 -

I'm in. I did a similar challenge a few months ago. This time I'll kick up the weight a bit.0

okay I am going to do it but my skinny minny fitness daughter said I should start with 20 or 30 and go up from there. I will find out tomorrow how many I am going to do. We are going to be camping so I will have to do them in the camper.:laugh:0

OP, are you going to create a group where we log our progress?0

day 1 - 50 - check!0

I've done this before and so need to do it again. You can add me! I'm in!0

So a couple of people have asked about proper form and which type are we doing. I have to say I only know of I kind of squat which is what I am doing. I guess it is safe to say that you can do what works for you. Weight or no weights? That is up to you. I personally am not using weights. Hope this helps! Tomorrow we start!0
