I've decided to do the 30 day squat challenge in July. I actually did my first 50 yesterday, but I'm going to take and post pics today and consider today Day 1.

Is anyone else doing this challenge in July?

Here's a link to the challenge I'm doing:

    I am travelling all the month of July (away from our gym and pool!) and am terrified of falling off the wagon. So I guess I will be doing the 30 day squat challenge from the 6th of July. Super nervous but hoping that I stick with it!

    Yay! I'm glad to have some people on board to encourage me to keep going.

    I'm doing the squats in sets of 25. I'm not starting out with any weights.

    I have a body pic on my profile page as my "Day 1" picture. My goals are to lessen the flatness of my butt and increase the muscle tone in my legs.

    Feel free to add me if you like :)

    I want to give this a try. I'm out of shape, though. How much rest time do you do between sets?

    Just as an encouragement note to all you ladies. I completed my 30 day squat challenge this past Sunday. Started with 50 squats on day 1 and ended with 250 squats on day 30. Whew! But the encouraging note is that I see such a difference in my legs, butt and my stomach. Going to continue to maintain by doing a 100 squats in the morning and 100 squats at night. Go ladies! You can do this!!

    That's so awesome to hear. Just what I'm hoping. Did you do yours with weights or without?

    Now, I have a question for all of you. When you did your squats for the first time (or first couple times), where did you feel it the most? For me, it's the top of my thighs.

    Sure! I'll start today and make up for missing yesterday. I won't use weights for any of these though, since this is in addition to the lifting program I'm doing (and I do plenty weighted squats with that)

    *runs to the bathroom at work to do some for yesterday!*

    30 squats this morning - a lot tougher than I thought but I just ran 4 miles before I did the squats. Nice burn

    I did my 30 day squat challenge without weights. I do weighted squats twice a week in my BodyPump class :-)
