    I Know Squat :)

    I am taking on a challenge in September that should be fun, in an odd sort of way. It is the humble air squat The challenge is is to do 30 air squats on Sept 1 and then add 5 each day for the month. Just an easy body-weight exercise that is good for hips and other things that can be done anywhere. Anyone interested in joining me?

    I'm in! I love squats. I'm in heaven at a squat rack (really!).
    To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

    I'm in. I actually started that a couple months ago, but then forgot about half a week in, so just stopped. I thought there was a rest day on Day 7. Are you including that or not?

    I'll give it a try. I'm supposed to do squats daily to help stabilize my wonky hip.

    It is nice to have the company I probably won't do a rest day but there isn't any reason why others can't. Air squats are a nice way to recover from some of the wilder things we do in my group training. So September 1st, here we come!

    I hear you Dogmama, I love the squat rack as well!

    I'll join! It'll be a nice warm up on strength days and also something I can do in hotels (or airports!) when my fall travel schedule kicks in. Cool!

    2 more days before we start I love challenges with myself and this is one my shoulder can't interfere with!

    How is it going? Sunday I did my 30 squats. Monday we did 100 air squats in our group workout so I decided that counted I still need to do my 40 for today, probably tonight after I go for a walk after dinner. I DID do 30 1-legged TRX squats this morning in group training but that wasn't the same thing so I've decided they didn't count. More squats are good
