    I'm a little confused on the squats. I haven't done squats in a VERY long time. Tell me if I'm understanding this right: 1) stand up straight, 2) put hands on floor in front of you and bend knees, 3) jump legs back, 4) jump legs forward.
  • Another great challenge!
  • Good Luck hope we all see a good change this week!
  • Thank You Allison for doing this! I usually will start doing everything then after a few weeks I will quit. But having these challanges are making me stay with it, So between your challanges and my husbands challange of losing 50lbs and he will quit smoking I am still hanging in here!

    Is the cardio in addition to what we would normally do? Like the extra 45 minutes in week 1 were? Or does any cardio we do count towards that?

    The squats will be hard for me, but I'll manage to fit them in!

    Thanks for the challenge! Marking this thread so it shows in my topics. :)

    I thought squats were just down and up. Stand with your feet about hip distance apart, and sit back into your heels, like you're going to sit in a chair, and then stand back up. What your describing sounds like more than that. I could be wrong, though. If someone could verify that, it would be appreciated. :)

    A squat is, standing up straight and squat like you are going to sit in a chair.... Yes you are right.

    True, it could also be that way. Whenever I did the ones I was describing in gym, I believe they called them jump squats. That's the only kind I've ever done, I think. But yeah, verification on this question would be appreciated. :smile: Thanks.

    Yeah, I'm assuming. It says 8 sets of 25 for 3 out of 7 days. I'm sure you wouldn't have to do them all at once; break them up throughout the day, or even throughout the week. Whatever works best for you.
