I've just started the 30 day squat challenge yesterday - feeling stiff today so it must be working!!

Day 1 - 50 squats
Day 2 - 55 squats
Day 3 - 60 squats
Day 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 - rest
....
Day 30 - 250 squats
You can google for the full chart - just can't copy it in here.

    I wouldn't recommend it. It's WAY too hard on your body! Doing that many squats several days in a row will stress your muscles and make you prone to injury. It'd be better to at least make the 30days stretch to 60days and rest every other day. Your muscles need at least 24hrs. to heal between workouts.

    Does anyone know if you can break up the squats? Like for day 1, do 25 in the morning, 25 at night?

    I finished mines in August and lost 2 inches in both thighs. I'll sit this one out...but good luck everyone. Wait until you see your *kitten*...amazing :)

    I definitely break them up...they still count. As the challenge progresses you get up into higher numbers and you pretty much have to break them up.

    Thanks for the encouragement! I did it in May and had similar results. I'm looking forward to reshaping!

    I'm in as soon as I can walk again. Did weighted squats at the gym a couple days ago, so sore!

    I started today, but then went to gymnastics afterwards, and yesterday was Pilates after missing a few classes = I'm already sore and can't imagine what tomorrow is gonna feel like. But I'm as in as I can be.
