Here we are! Anyone can join at any time. We will all be at different levels at different times. We can keep the challenge going just by changing the month, so we'll start a new one for June.
The link is twohundredsquats.com
I tested at 20 (could have probably done a few more easily but I was glad I didn't. I was pretty sore the next day) so I will be starting at week 1 level 2. Doing day 1 today!
I'm glad you are here to do it with me! Just post what week, level and day you are on and how many you were able to do! See you all again soon!

    Welcome Angela! You can post as often as you like. I usually post every time I do them. It helps me keep better track of where I am at, and it helps me to remember to do them.
    Week 1 Level 2 Day 1

    I probably could be at least at level 3 but we'll see how sore I am tomorrow. :wink: I may go to level 3 on Wednesday.

    Okay, I'm in! I checked out the website and it looks simple (but tiring) enough. This is something that I can do at home and won't cost anything, so I'll give it a go.

    Tonight, when I get home from work, I will do Week 1, Day 1, Level 2.

    I did the initial test, so I am going to start at level 3 week 1.
    I think I will also do the push up challenge on alternating days. I am not so sure about the sit up challenge. I hate doing sit ups. I'll give it a try and see how it goes, but I am not commiting to that one yet.

    Good luck to everybody.

    Today I completed day 1 of week 1 at level 3 for squats.

    I joined the push ups challenge, but I broke my ring finger today, so that will have to wait for a while.
    Anyway I am thrilled with doing the squats challenge.

    I would like to try this. I couldn't finish the situp challenge, because I have some issues with my side hurting, but I think I can do the squats. I will do the test tonight or tomorrow and post where I will start. :smile:

    I showed this challenge to my husband....who is in awesome shape by the way...LOL...he is doing this one and the push up and sit up program too...I'm sticking with one thing at a time...and thats the 30 day shred. I'll see after my 30 days if I'm up to this challenge. My legs are too smoked for this one right now. Good luck to everyone!!

    I did week 1 level 3 days 3 today. In the fourth set my left thigh started hurting. I stretched and did the last set but now I am really sore. It's a good thing I have two days off!

    Hey just wanted to say thanks for the link I checked it out and just for kicks and giggles wanted to see how many I could do at one time- and I got 100- not bad for being sick---guess all those leg days I kill myself in the gym with are paying off.


    Good luck and good job to everyone who is doing the challenge-- :drinker: :drinker:

    I think I am going to do the sit-up challenge as well as the squat challenge, seeing as how my sit-ups were what I always had problems with on the Army PT Test... I used to max out the push-ups, but I developed some wrist problems, so I am going to avoid push-ups and exercises like that!

    I'm going to also checkout sit ups, but already have decent abs. Would love to do push ups again, but my shoulder still too weak.....:cry:

    Hey I posted last week about the 200 squat challenge...I had shown the website to my husband, and he's been doing push ups, sit ups...well I decided to give it a try too...I did the initial test for sit up and squats this morning ( the push ups are rough on my bad shoulder)...I did rather well...I must be a little stronger than I think. LOL Its got me starting on week 3 in the 2nd or 3rd column....I'm going to get started tomorrow. I don't feel like I need a break...but we'll see tomorrow...LOL I'm also doing the 30 day shred challenge, and using my elliptical everyday....lets hope I get some results soon...:happy:
