30 Day Squat Challenge

[CharKearney]

Hiya everyone! Today is Day 1 of my 30 Day Squat Challenge. It would be amazing to hear from other users if you're currently on the same challenge, or whether you'd like to join in with me!

I'll be using a 7KG Kettlebell within my daily work outs, along side attending the gym 4 times a week.




Day 1 - 50 Squats -

An easy one to start off with today considering yesterday I had done 60 squats at the gym! Legs are aching a bit and I feel I need to get a more structured stretch in place before I go ahead with any exercises. Tomorrow's squats will be done after work which could change my performance after a long day. Bring on tomorrow!

Well done! I was wondering about wether we can rest in between squats

 

[XxKirstxX]

Yeah im sure you can becki but I mostly don't I try to do the whole hog in a oner as if I take a break I might not keep going lol.its more of a fat burner when they're all done at once x

Did u break on between your squats?

 

[XxKirstxX]

Yeah I broke after 100 then 170 to give my legs a shake. 250 tomorrow then restarting the challenge with deeper squats and going to concentrate on better form

How did you get on?

 

[Scooter-boy]

Hello all, is there a certain way the squats have to be done...??
I'd love to join if I possibly could.....
Thanks x

 

[XxKirstxX]

Hi Scooter boy you can do them however you like as long as you feel the burn!

 

[becki2009]

Yeah I broke after 100 then 170 to give my legs a shake. 250 tomorrow then restarting the challenge with deeper squats and going to concentrate on better form

How did you get on?

I did my 105 all in one...but any more and i think i will need to shake them out! Really feel the burn. Although i do them quite fast. I know i should slow down a bit for thrm to be more effective

 

[XxKirstxX]

Doing them fast is good for stamina . we can always go back and go slower round 2

 

[becki2009]

Good idea!
