Day 151: Squat Challenge!!! Let's GO

Hey everyone!

Hope all has been well and you are keeping active!!!!

I am still enjoying my boxing and weights and run every once in a while.  I am really ready for summer so I can have more free time to prepare more meals so be looking for new recipes and more time to be active!  I am excited to try some new classes at my gym and just enjoy this time! 

Anyway!!!! This post is about a challenge that my bestie does where you do 100 squats a day for 60 days.  She already completed it and has moved on to 200 a day.  I am going to stick witht the 100 since it would be my first time at doing this many in a day we also do 25 push ups and 25 sit ups. I am doing this in addition to my weekly routine of work outs as well.  If this is all you do then that is fine or if you are active already and add this thats even better! It just gets people moving and you will be able to see some type of results whether it is more endurance or being more tone!  A little a day is a great place to start or add to what you already do.

60 DAY SQUAT CHALLENGE

100 SQUATS
25 PUSH UPS
25 SIT UPS

I bet some of you are like, "Man, that's alot" or "I don't have time to do that"....well.....FIND THE TIME...

This challenge is pretty simple.  You can do it....

• In the morning
• At night
• At work
• During your lunch
• While you watch TV
• While you clean up
• At the gym
• After a workout class
• Before a workout class
• Before you run or after

See!!! You can make the time if you want too especially if you are lounging watching TV use a commercial break for each exercise. 

PROPER FORM

Now make sure you are doing your squats correctly.  You don't want to hurt yourself and mess up your knees.  You sit back on heels as if you were about to sit and then come up and repeat.  Your knees should not extend past your feet but I rather show you than tell you so please watch the video.  Doing this each day can be a lot so you want to make sure you are doing the exercise correctly.  Even if you feel you know what to do please take a look!

CHALLENGERS

Everyone who is in the challenge I would like for you to post once a week (more if you like) on how many days you did the challenge for the week.  For example, if you missed it one day then in COMMENT SECTION just put how you did you challenge 6 times this week.  We are going by the honestly policy so if you are not being honest about your days or results the only person you are cheating is yourself not us.  This is a great way to talk about your progress, any weight lost or toning to your body.  We can celebrate each other as well as motivate each other!  Now remember, it is best to try to eat healthy when you are on consistent exercise to maximize and see your results.  If you are eating at a fast food place 4 to 5 times out the week you may not see many results and you may not have the energy to even do the challenge.  So please do your best to eat right!!!!! Looking forward to seeing who sticks with it the entire time.  If you miss a day just remmber to get back on the next day and keep it up.  We are all human but we are the one who makes choices so choose you and choose being healthy and fit.  Post when you want but atleast once a week after 7 days so for those that started with me yesterday TUESDAY is our official day to post on our progress and how many days we completed.  This is a 60 day challenge but take it a day at a time.

PLEAE REMEMBER- Practice safety, eat healthy and please don't do those squats that you barely go down..if you want results you need to SIT INTO THAT SQUAT AND EMBRACE THAT BURN!!!!!! :)


HAPPY EXERCISING MY FRIENDS!!!!!
