1,400 Squats in Two Months

Over the last two months, I've done 1,400 squats.

For years, I've seen 30 day challenges on Pinterest. Thirty day abs, thirty day squats, thirty day biceps...you name a muscle group, there's a challenge.

So I decided to take one.

There was a simple little challenge to do 10 squats a day every day for 30 days. At the end, I was assured a firmer butt and the ability to say, "I did 300 squats this month!"

Which sounds impressive.

So I did it.

And, after a month, I saw no noticeable difference. Maybe my butt was too flat and wide to begin with, I thought. Perhaps I need to up it, I pondered.

So I did three reps of ten a day. That's thirty squats a day for thirty days. That's 900 squats in a month which sounds WAY more impressive.

But also didn't change my butt in any way, shape, or form.

Still, I can officially say, I did 1,400 squats in two months. That sounds seriously bad ass. Even if it didn't make my ass look bad. In a good way.

What I have discovered is that it's now a habit. I don't even think about it as I do them while waiting for my shower to warm up. So maybe that was my lesson?

Anyone else ever done a thirty day challenge?

You miss the part where I say it's made absolutely no noticable difference. As in, my butt is still as flat and wide as a large load semi.

But go for it! :D
