Re: January Squat Challenge--Lift those Saggy Rears!

Did 30 today.. but I think I will have to give-up.. My knee is killing me, seriously. I thought I would be able to do these, but years ago I had an accident in one of my legs and I just cannot take my knee pain doing the squats now, the pain goes away in may be couple of hours after I do the set. Well anyway, I will give me knee a rest and may go back to it slowly.

If I am able to proceed, can I reset my goal?

1/8 - 40 Squats

Einy - make sure that you are putting all the weight on the heel of your foot and make sure that your knees do not go over your toes(should be a 90 degree angle with the floor) If you have an exercise ball, you might be able to do the squats against a wall. Place the ball between your middle back and the wall and place your feet shoulder with apart then slowly go down making sure that your knees do not go over your toes and then come back up to the starting position. Try it. It might help take the pain out of your knees. I saw an exercise link that showed how it was done. If I can find it, I will post it for you. Good Luck!!

Hope this helps and that you are able to continue with the challenge.

Einy, sure you can re-set your goal!

Don't go down so low and try the other accomodations--I think if you keep doing what you can, the muscles around your knee will get stronger in time. Just don't push to cause damage--you know your body better than anyone else. We've got lots of great people with good advice!

I hope you can stay in at whatever you're comfortable doing.

Thanks dyingtobethin and LooseShoes. I will try to get a ball this weekend and retry my squats.. My knee is better today, I still get occasional pain when I climb the stairs, but I think it is OK now.

Will get back to this again.. I am determined..

Some of us have done Slim in 6 with Debbie Siebers--she really works you on the squats and you can get to doing quite a few!

Re: January Squat Challenge--Lift those Saggy Rears!

This will be my first challenge (yahhh) I would like to be put in for 1000. I did a practice run with 20 so I figure 20 a day is a great start. 20/1000...
