30 day squat challenge



Recommended Posts

So' date=' my best friend talked me into a 30 day squat challenge that starts tomorrow. Do squats 3 days , one day of rest, and repeat. Each day the amount of squats you do increases. I switched it up some so that I'm starting at a comfortable number. Attached are my before challenge picture(s)

The images seem to have disappeared.

Does somebody have a text form of this challenge. I love doing squats during my stretch routine as they really stretch out the inner thighs and glutes, in a good way! Love it. Finally have an exercise to help blast that inner thigh area when working out at home (no big fancy inner thigh machines here). I also like to do mini squats where I hold down low and do little mini thrusts. Feels so good.

The original challenge starts with 50 squats. I'm personally starting at 10 and you go up in number everyday. So mine goes 10,20,30 a rest day, 40,50,60, a rest day and so on. When I get home tonight, I'll try to repost the full thing.

I'm in! I might start at 30 and move up by increments of two. I've been active a long time and the only thing that keeps me active is gentle pushes into harder stuff :)

I'm definitely the tortoise from the tortoise and the hare fable.

Did squats today and mine was more like 20, 30 and 30. That last set did me in. I'm used to doing 4-10 reps per set...so my legs feel like Jello. :blink:

I'm going up by 10 squats per day, so by the time the 30 days is done, I will be at 230. But, in order for me to not burn myself out on them, I am splitting them up. How I split them up depends on if I'm running late in the morning or not, lol. If I'm running late, I'll do them at various intervals throughout the day. Like today, I'm doing some every time I go to use the restroom.

Are you adding any weight when you do the squats or just using your body weight?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
