to wonder how these people who do the 30 day squat challenges physically manage to take a picture of their arse

[Dothefridgesquat]

I though that my arse was looking a bit saggy the other day so thought I would partake in the "30 day squat challenge" after seeing some pretty good before and after pictures.
I also decided that it would be a good idea to take some before and after pictures of my derrière so that I could share my results with all of you delicious mumsnetters!

Easier said than done, after about 25 attempts to get a good picture of my arse, square on, I gave up. I was trying to capture my "flobby bottom" (as flobby cock DP puts it) with my iPad. I'm quite aware that it is certainly not the most slimline of devices but I had no other picture taking apparatus on my person.

I'm just wondering if anyone had any fool proof ways to take a "belfie" without dislocating my ribs and growing hands out of my arse hole.

Thank you!

Pictured, best attempt out of 25!

you need a full length mirror and take a photo of yourself sideways on in the mirror. You could probably take an over the shoulder snap too of the mirror for full on arse pic

Does the camera not have a timer function?

I've tried the full length mirror will maybe charge my camera up and have a go that way and if that fails then I might have to persuade my 1 year old to take a picture of mummy's bum

gummy hmmmm never even thought of that!! I think it should have

You do a certain number of squats over a 30 day period to try and tone your asset. You get a couple of rest days etc.

Your arse looks ok to me. Is this some kind of stealth boast?

No and my arse is not ok. Meant to be a light hearted thread. . . Don't want it picking to pieces

aren't you supposed to get someone else to take the picture?

Who posts a pic of their arse on MN?

BTW, it is a very nice arse!

Hahaha I started the 30 day squat challenge the other day - I declined a photo because I don't want my before butt captured forever on camera!! You're brave!

Fabulous arse OP!

I was thinking stealth boast, too, Hell. I must move in the wrong citcles as I've rarely seen a less saggy arse. That photo is fine - you don't need another technique, the one you have works. I can't think why you have posted it really if it isn't a stealth boast...

Do it furrywall I'm very visual, if I cant see progress then I won't do it!

I'm waiting until it gets really peachy before taking the shot! Im so sad about my ass, it was amazing until I had kids then it deflated like a whoppee cushion

First time for saying this sentence

Your arse is very nice though to do
squat challenge you need to
show the bit that joins the thighs so that 30 days later you can see that your butt is uplifted

I have never complimented someone's arse before

Oh dear god are you school run dress lady back for another Friday share of odd body pics???

Seriously you could ask the question without forcing us to look at your arse cheeks

Yabu for that alone

That is a good arse.
I did the 30 day squat challenge about a year ago. I really do reccomend it, by day 30 my butt was incredible, like someone had sculpted it.

But you do have to keep it up. Took a matter of weeks (and cakes) to go back to its normal saggy self.

You took 25 pictures of your arse to see if you could take a picture of your arse? Can't you examine the photos yourself to see if everything you wanted captured, was? Could your husband not have taken the photo for you?

Sorry for all the questions on your 'lighthearted' thread; I do think you meant to post for comments, 25 photos is a big time investment.
