I happen to love squats and would do them all day if I could (before you roll your eyes, I literally can’t even do a push-up. So, there you have it).
If I was going to stick with anything for 30 days, it would have to be simple, straightforward, and easy to do from anywhere.
I found a squat challenge online that focused more on building endurance than adding weight.
Adding weight sounds like a good idea until you pack some weights in your duffel bag as you prepare to leave town for a weekend getaway (no, thanks).
I’m proud to say that I completed the challenge for 30 days and my butt looks better than ever! I hope you want to get in on the squat challenge bandwagon too, so here are my 30 day squat challenge results!
30 Day Squat Challenge Results
Below is my week-by-week journey to a higher seat and more toned legs! Want to know how to do the perfect squat? Click here!
Week 1
I started off in pretty good shape, but (and I say this to my body with love) I wanted more lift and less jerkiness.
Week 2
It was crazy to see such a difference in a week! My buttocks already looked firmer and rounder. The first week was not too difficult to complete.
I started at 50 reps and increased to five each day with a rest day. I found it easier to hit them straight away. Wake up and do them.
Week 3
Alright, this week just got harder. The challenge increased by five, then after a day of rest it increased to 20. It wasn’t the burn that bothered me, but the time it took to do over 100 squats.
It gets boring after a while. All you do is move up and down, up and down.
I found that although I was out of breath when I finished, each day I felt stronger and able to do the next five without too much of a struggle. Plus my butt looked juicy.
Week 4
Ugh, I literally never want to do 250 squats again. Not because of the pain, but because it’s only a few minutes of direct skipping. So. Boring.
I’m proud of my progress and for rising to the challenge, though! I can see and feel the results (especially firmer, more vigorous buttocks and stronger legs).
Results of my 30 day squat challenge
Here are my 30 day squat results from week 1 to week 4 if you want to compare them (I’ll save you the time you would have taken to screenshot and do your own comparison).
I will progress by doing fewer individual reps each day from now on!
Here’s what I did for my 30 day squat challenge
I chose this particular squat challenge because it didn’t require weights, bands, or anything other than my body weight and commitment.
So if you’re someone who doesn’t have the necessary gear or travels often, this might be the right fit for you!
