30 Day Squat Challenge

Hi All, 

Most of us have a lot of toning to do. Each month we will focus on a different part of the body. This will help break up the hum drum of exercise, wake up our bodies and cause a little muscle confusion. No thinking or planning your exercise routine, just wake up, look at the paper, and get 'er done. Luckily most of the exercises are really just your basic calisthenics. They can be done practically anywhere with no equipment needed. Isn't it funny how we've strayed away from the basics, eating real food and doing daily calisthenics, that has worked for decades? Well, it's time to bring our sexy back dammit. Who's with me?!? 

*SQUAT CHALLENGE STARTING TOMORROW!!* 01/13/2014

This is the 30 Day Squat Challenge. Download the image and print. You can hang it on your mirror in the bedroom or bathroom or on a wall in your home that you know you will see in the morning. Better yet, you can download it to your smart phone and save it as a wallpaper or image and have it with you everywhere you go. 

RULES:

I learned a trick to doing a squat with good form.

1. Stand so that you're facing the wall and your toes touching the baseboard of the wall
2. Arms bent at a 90 degree angle at the elbows
3. Lower your butt and bend your knees like you're sitting down
4. Keep your core tight, back straight, arms bent to provide balance, and breathe going down
5. Come up slowly, exhaling. Keep your back straight, arms up, and core tight

*SQUAT CHALLENGE STARTING TOMORROW!*

Remember, this is the total number of squats for the day.
You can break them up however you'd like.
For example, Day 3=60 squats.
You can do 3 reps of 20; 6 reps of 10; or 10 reps of 6.
A rep will be considered each time you go down and come back up (see #1-5 above)
Reps should be done consecutively
(10reps in a row, rest 30-60seconds, 10 more reps, etc. continue until you have done 10 reps 6 times)
