My goodness, Wibbly, well done! When are you going to peak as it were?!

Just done 110 squats, 110 dips, now some resistance stuff and Pilates stretches. Phew.

Morning Sal!

The main aim was to get up to 250, so I think I've peaked this morning. When I go back to work, I'll probably have to split them into a morning and evening session of 125 each.

A rest day for me, but I've just looked at the numbers again and I've jumped ahead a bit

I did 50, 60, then 70 on my first 3 days.

Should I just start at 80 tomorrow & push on? Don't suppose there's any point NOT doing that unless anyone advises differently?

Thanks

I'd go for the 80. You know you can get up to that number, so no sense in going backwards

No-one else walking like an old woman or just me?!
Rest day today

That's what I though wibbly

250 done . I'm also gearing up for a 5k run for the first time tonight. Fingers crossed I do it

My trainer advised doing the 30 day squat challenge with burpees instead of squats to tone the whole body and increase fitness.

I knew I'd heard of it from MN but had no idea how many squats/burpees you were supposed to do. I assumed you'd do 1 on day 1, 2 on day 2, 3 on day 3....

50 burpees in a row mwhahahahahaha

Squats I can manage. I might join in when my cold buggers off.

What's a burpee?

I hate them. Trainer loves them

I would fall flat on my face doing those

Did my first 50. Not to bad but I have been doing 20 mins aerobics every day for last few months.

I used to be able to burpees in my dim & distant past.

I would definitely fall over after 1 or 2 now though.

I might try one later for a laugh, will report back

Please report back, Offday
I am giving the squats a miss today. I did my first 5k run yesterday night (1 hour!) so am feeling it today. Going up and down stairs is certainly interesting today

I did 1 burpee .. for a laugh... Nearly killed me
My knees & pelvic floor are not what they were

However, 115 squats & dips completed

Did 55 today. Not feeling too much pain ( apart from my arse)

Aargh I've done nothing for ages so came back today with 30 squats and 50 dips.

Been squatting & dipping but forgot to post upto 135 now. Rest day today

Hey, Knee, just you and me here?! Wi-i-b-b-l-y!!! Are you there (or tough mudder watching)?

Hi, I'm still here. Not been doing the squats though . Tomorrow is another day, and I will do 250. The running side of things has taken over, but it's no excuse to stop squatting

Is anyone else still doing this?

Am on day 13 and it is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard (and I haven't even done it properly).

Yes. Am varying a bit now though- plie squats, slow squats, fast ones, with weights etc otherwise body gets used yo it. .think its a great psychological exercise and quick fix but not sustainable in longterm. Got to 150 dips and 150 squats now incorporating into a balanced weight resistance training

Hi

Is anyone still doing this challenge?

I started yesterday and would love to see who else is doing it

Started today! Anyone else?

I also started a 30 Day Tricep Dip Challenge on Friday. Today'a a rest day from that.

Anyone feeling/looking better for the squat challenge? Also is it OK to split them into sets or should they be done all at once?
