Hey everyone today is the first day of our challenge. Im excited to see the results at the end of the month. Daily I will post what day we are on and the number of squats. In these threads we can discuss how we are feeling. How our eating went for the day. Other exercises we do. Any issues were dealing with. Basically just a check in that is all inclusive for our day. Its 2 am and I have already completed my squats for the day LOL. I may double up and do a second set later. Good luck friends and lets do this together.

    2am! Are you nuts? Do you not know where your bed is? Only joking of course.

    Day 1 - 50 squats about to be done, so we'll call it a tick for today.

    Good luck everybody, we can do this.:smile:

    Seriously, did you do ALL 50??? It has been a long time since I did squats, and I will admit... I will be back later! -- IF I can walk today Ha Ha! Good job creating this thread, I was beginning to get complacent when I saw I lost a few pounds...

    Omg it's 11:30am here and I'm really scared to do my squats!!

    Honestly, I really am!
    How did you guys do them? Throughout a period of time? Or all at once?

    Fingers crossed I can actually do this.. I just can't go all the way down properly :(

    ashleigh0608 - what's to be scared about, it's like sitting down on a chair but with more control, you can do it. Did you watch the youtubevideo link that kreationsforhome posted, here it is again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPYCiuiB4PA. Worth watching to get your form right :smile:

    Today, I did 10 squats in 5 sets with about a 30 second rest in between each set, took my time doing them. As the amount increases, I'll probably aim to divide them throughout the day.

    Day 1 done. It was an unfortunate reminder how out of shape I am. I did 2 sets of 25 each with about a 15 minute break. But my 16 month old woke up and needed some attention. I need to go out and buy a tape measure today so I can compare measurements when this is done!

    50 squats done plus I did 5 miles on the treadmill! I'm going to try and get a walk in before work also! I can't wait to go on vacation! It's going to be in the 70's so I'll be able to get a morning run in!

    You can do it hon! Just do 5 sets of ten, take a break between sets and pretend you are about to sit down in a chair. Keep your weight in your HEELS. Watch a youtube video (I think the woman above posted a vid) LOVE U!!! WE GOT THIS :)

    I was up at 2am but I was SO not doing squats then LOL! They are done though. They were not the prettiest, but I'm finally getting the form right. Those last 5 squats nearly ended up as sits though so this challenge should be fun as it gets up there :D

    Getting ready to get in 3miles with Leslie Sansone. Then we'll see what the rest of the day brings :)

    Good luck everyone!

    I've just finished my squats ... When I got to number 30 my legs started to get uncomfortable... I have the feeling that my legs will feel it tomorrow...

    50 squats done!

    I have decided to do my daily squats on my lunch break at work. I did 25 at the beginning of my half hour break, and 25 near the end. I will be going to the gym after work to get in some cardio and do a couple of the upper body strengthening machines.

    Happy July everyone!!
    :happy:

    I'm done with my 50.
    Did 35, then short break and another 15. Figured it was best to get as many done as I could right off the bat, and then I would have less to finish. Feel great, except going down the stairs my legs are feeling very weak! They are tired :)

    50 squats done and done.

    Not the most glamorous of moments for me but done nonetheless.

    50 squats done!

    I did 25, short break, and another 25. I didn't want to start so hard, but tomorrow I'll do as many as possible before doing a break :) Can't wait to do more of them!
