30 day Exercise Challenge

I was invited to join a 30 days squat challenge, which goes as follows:

30 DAY SQUAT CHALLENGE

Squatting is one of the most fundamental movements that all humans can and should perform regularly. Squats not only work your glutes and quads but also your hamstrings, calves, hips, back and core. They can also improve your flexibility, balance and posture.

BEGINNER- start with one squat on the 1st of June and increase by one per day until the 30th of June where you'll perform 30 squats.

INTERMEDIATE- start with two squats on the 1st of June and increase by two per day until the 30th of June when you'll perform 60 squats.

ADVANCED- start with three squats on the 1st of June and increase by three per day until the 30th of June when you'll perform 90 squats.

If you have never done squats before or have not been training for some time I would recommend starting with the beginner challenge and using the first week to practice your technique as you're only doing a few per day.

However, I have up'ed the ante a little and am adding my own twist. I am including a couple of extra exercises and adding a little to the squat itself.

For the next 30 days I will be increasing the reps on the following:

• Dumbbell Squat Press - increasing reps each day
  
• Dumbbell Push-Up Rows - increasing reps each day
  
• Dumbbell Lunge Curl - increasing reps each day
  

Phew tired already, maybe I'll start tomorrow instead. Not!
