Taking the Two Hundred Squats Challenge

Hey, who's up for some challenge?  I am!  I figured I'd start on some simple programs.  I actually saw the link from the Healthy Tipping Point, of which I am now a new follower.  There are actually five programs but only four had printable materials.

I'm starting off with the two hundred squats program.  Yes, you read that right...that's 200. Sounds daunting?  That's why it's called a challenge!  We'll never really know if we can do it, unless we try.  But why am I doing it?  Did I wake up this morning and decided to torment myself?  Was I hit with the masochist bug?  Not really.  I just wanted to challenge myself.  Besides, this is also great for leg strengthening, or if you push too hard, more on leg cramping.  So, resist doing too much too soon.  I took the initial test, as suggested, before starting with the 6-week program today.

Not bad for a first try.  I did 60 squats before I stopped, not because I'm tired but I realized I was already overboard the excellent mark (not being a show off there hehehe...just being honest).  It was suggested that I already jump to Week 3 of the program but why the rush?  I'll start with Week 1 just the same.  Going to do this slowly, but surely.  

It was a good feeling at the end of 60 squats.  I felt sweat breaking out and my thighs were feeling the burn already.  Like to give it a try?  Visit two hundred squats to learn more about the program. 


I sure would like to display this nifty badge, hopefully after 6 weeks.  Cool huh?  Well, I still have to earn it.  I'll give an update from time to time.
