I tried the November challenge, but I have a shoulder issue that flared on me. I still do push-ups but on a much smaller scale until I can get my shoulder strengthened and straightened out. However, I am so up for the squats!!!! I am pumped for this challenge. Yea!0

Alright!!! My first MFP challenge!! I am so stoked!! I was doing squats at work yesterday so this fits right in. I went into the bathroom and did them cause I didn't want all my co-workers wondering what the heck I was up to:) This will be fun and I cant help but imagine the type of sculpting this will do for my butt and thighs:)
Thanks for the challenge!!!0 -
I first said that I would do this:
I will try this:
week #1 - Odd Days: 10 squats 2 times per day/40 per day; Even Days: 20 push ups per day
week#2 - Odd Days: 13 squats 2 times per day/52 per day; Even Days: 20push ups per day
week#3 - Odd Days: 15 squats 3 times per day/60 per day; Even days: 30 push ups per day
week #4 - Odd Days: 20 squats 3 times per day/80 per day; Even Days:40push ups per day
But am revising it based on the fact that I did it this morning and was able to do more than I thought. I want to push myself!
I will try this:
Week 1 - Odd Days: 30 squats 2 times per day/60per day; Even Days: 40 push ups per day
Week 2 - Odd Days: 30 squats 2 times per day/60per day; Even Days: 40 push ups per day
Week 3 - Odd Days: 40 squats 2 times per day/80per day; Even Days: 50 push ups per day
Week 4 - Odd Days: 40 squats 2 times per day/80per day; Even Days: 50 push ups per day
I will also add-these are wall pushups-until I can be a big girl and do real pushups! :ohwell:0 -
I'm also in! I wish I had participated in the November push-ups! I will be modifying the amount from Jane's program, since I haven't been doing push-ups and such. I'll get back to you what my plan is later on today after I work it out!0

Here's what I'll be doing since I'm not any good at pushups. I just don't have the upper body strength to do them and even in my best shape I didn't. hehe
week #1 - Odd Days: 10 squats 2 times per day/20 per day; Even Days: 10 Wall push ups per day
week#2 - Odd Days: 15 squats 2 times per day/30 per day; Even Days: 15 Wallpush ups per day
week#3 - Odd Days: 20 squats 2 times per day/40 per day; Even days: 20 Wall push ups per day
week #4 - Odd Days: 30 squats 2 times per day/60 per day; Even Days:30 Wall push ups per day
So looking forward to seeing what this will do to me:)0 -

Finished 100 squats today. Definitely count me in!! I finished the November challenge, and during that challenge I did modified pushups and squats. I did my pushups and squats on the same day, and typically did 2 sets of 25 of each. I think I want to change it up this month. I will try it out this first week and then may make some modifications. My plan is as follows:
Week 1: Odd days 100 squats, even days 100 modified pushups
Week 2: Odd days 100 squats with 1.5 lb wrist weights, even days 15 regular pushups and 85 modified
Week 3: Odd days 100 squats with 5 lb dumbbells, even days 25 regular pushups and 75 modified
Week 4: Odd days 100 squats with 10 lb dumbbells, even days 40 regular pushups and 60 modified0 -
OK, I'm in I think I can do this. I'll start very slow nd I don't know how many I'll get in. I have a newborn that takes up a lot of time but I think I can do at least 20 push ups and 20 squats in a day. My push ups will be against a wall. I can't do the others yet.0

Day 2 - 100 modified push ups completed.0
-
Day 1 Got my squats in and man did that hurt!! hehe
Day 2 Got in my pushups today against the wall and now my arms are sore!
I can't wait for this to not hurt as much. I have to push myself to get them done but I'm doing it so I know it will get easier.0 -
Just knocked out 25 squats at my desk. Boy did they hurt. I got 27 more to go.0

Anyone know how many calories you lose doing 2 sets of 10 squats and 2 sets of 10 wall push ups?0
-
I did 3 set of 10 wall push ups and 3 sets of 10 squats last night.0

i have found that if i do 10 or 20 at a time, i can do them while i am fixing a meal/after going potty/before i walk out the door to go somewhere. fewer amounts consistently does work.
after you get your balance with the squats, you could do them while soothing your new baby.
you and your family will live a healthier lifestyle from today on.
cheering you on!
