:bigsmile: I'm thinking about moving on to lunges as I finish the 100 day challenge of squats:bigsmile: :bigsmile: the good thing about squats is that I can do them in the darkness of the early morning walk.....as long as my feet are secure in one place, I can do squats while the dogs are sniffing around trees and bushes, but lunges require stepping forward and in the dark I can't predict the footing and I need my hands more for balance and with a leash in one hand, balance is compromised so maybe I'm headed for a combination of squats and lunges.
:bigsmile: my long term goal is to get balanced enough with lunges to do sets of 20 holding heavy weights by my sides or on my shoulders.
:bigsmile: today March 24 :bigsmile: Saturday :bigsmile: 480 Squats ( some of them were lunges) day 92 :flowerforyou:
MuffRuff :bigsmile: 600 squats is awesome :bigsmile: you are doing great :bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: alltalk, what are you going to do after you finish the 100 days?0 -
Thanks barbiecat, you are amazing! I will continue with squats to help improve and progress with the C25k running program. I am adding the leg press machine to build even more strength for running, hoping to do my first 4k run in May.

Today was my strenth training day, and I increased the amount I had been lifting. It was quite the workout, but it felt good. I really appreciate mpf and this challenge along with many others. I feel much better about myself and my body. Of course, I still have a long way to go, but it is great to be on he right path with others.0 -
Barbiecat you just blow me away and inspire me even more to be the best that I can be. Thankyou.
Muffruff, you are on fire girl, you are beautiful inside and out and it's been a pleasure getting to know you by posting along side you with this challenge. I must admit it was challenging to start off with, ok and during, but you have inspire me to push myself even further with the 500 squats, amazing.
I am so continuing this journey with you both and YES muffruff, we are heading in the right direction.

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: MuffRuff and alltalk, who would have thought that out of the more than 100 people who joined this group since it started in December, that the three of us would be the ones who are still doing 100 squats a day or that we would be doing more than 100 most days along with our ther regular exercise programs. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: My best friend is over 70 years old and plays competitive tennis three days a week and workouts out with a personal trainer. Many of the women she plays tennis with are in their 80's. That is part of my inspiration to stay focused on my daily exercise. I want to be strong and active for a long time and not be a tubby couch potato or a feeble and needy old woman.
:flowerforyou: After all this time with the squats challenge, I automatically do squats while I brush and floss my teeth at night and while I walk the dogs in the meadow early in the morning. This morning I did 240 squats during the 50 minutes that I walked the dogs one at a time. In the house during the day, I'm doing lunges holding a five pound weight in each hand and squats with overhead raises with five pound weights between squats.
today 440 squats :bigsmile: day 97 :bigsmile: 3 days to go.0 -
:bigsmile: Friday, day 28 :bigsmile: 280 squats :bigsmile: actually, many of them were lunges that take twice as long to do so the numbers are lower but the satisfaction is amazing :bigsmile:0
