    I'm loving this challenge. I can totally feel the burn in my quads from yesterday.

    I read that widening your stance works the gluts more than the quads so I'm going to try that with my 60 squats today. I'm doing 3 sets of 20.

    Wow, this is going to be a difficult one! I will give it a shot . . .250 squats at the end of 30 days?? Not even sure if I can do one Squat. :smile:

    Good Luck everyone!

    Sounds like a lot for me too, since just starting out.

    So I'm committing to do 1/2 the amount each day in July! .. gotta to start somewhere :)

    I'm on day 9 now. Yesterday was a rest day. I've noticed two things. First, the squats are getting easier to complete. Today I will do 4 sets of 25 (I got my first set done this morning). It took me just a few minutes to get them done at a moderate pace.

    Also, even after increasing the amount I'm doing every day, my legs are not sore the next day. The first two days I could barely walk.

    After the next rest day, I will probably increase the number of squat in each set since the numbers are climbing.

    I've noticed a slight (non visible) difference in the tone of my thighs and butt. I plan to take pics on day 16.

    How's everyone else doing?
