Daily Donk Challenge

Good evening! Today, July 1, marks the third month of my fitness devotion. I started weight lifting, eating right, and doing cardio exactly three months ago on April 1. I wish I had taken before pictures because it would just make me that much more proud of myself and I would hope it would inspire others as well. Making the decision to start getting in shape is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my entire life. Sometimes you just have to jump in head first and I feel like deciding to turn your life around is one of those things. So in honor of not "half-assing" a lifestyle change I have decided to do a 30 day squat or "donk" challenge. 

I found this on Pinterest (my guilty pleasure) while looking up new ideas for my leg days. Though squats aren't anything new, doing 200+ of them a day is. One thing I know for sure is that my butt's going to hurt. If anyone decides to do the challenge with me please let me know! Good luck!

Update (7/8/2013): So I went out of town this week to go see a concert and forgot to do the challenge...BUT can't just give up so I went right back to the days I missed and now I'm back on track.

Update (7/18/2013): Today is day number 15 for me so I'm exactly half way done with the challenge. I've found it's easy to break down the reps into twenty as the numbers get bigger. I've also calculated how many squats I will have done after I've completed this challenge: 3,295 squats. That's a hell of a lot of squats to do. If my butt's not looking good after this, I have no idea what will do the trick.

FINAL Update (8/4/2013): I finished the squat challenge on Friday and it felt so good! I only had one hiccup along the way but that was it. It's a whole lot easier to do the larger number of squats when you do sets between other reps. I'm going to have to say that though my butt did get a little more firm, my thighs are what toned up the most. I lost fat in my legs. Can't complain since that's one of the harder things to do. It was a rough road and it certainly wasn't easy to do 150+ squats a day, but it was well worth it.
