Squat/sit up challenges

Morning!

I see some people posting squat or sit up challenges and I be interested in seeing what routine they do for it and how many what days etc.

I am unable to run atm being really busy and having two young children, but this sounds like something I can do from Home.

Thanks

Just search out rignolds posts, join in using the links but find the first one - unless you are already a skwaatmeister. (Use the search box top right or click on rignold's name and go back to the first day's post on squatting a few weeks ago).

Rignold's is *the* squat challenge, taking you through the right form etc! He's been so prolific, you may find it easier to go straight to his blog, where all the posts and info are. He's very entertaining :D

teamrhomboid.com/category/f... is the first few posts :)

I work in a preschool with my youngest coming with me. Monday to Friday. And I work evenings at A supermarket mon and Tuesday.

Weekends are fine to run. But I rather run more often than weekends. And plus I like family time on weekends as I recently stopped working on Saturdays.

I used to run before kids.

Kinda why I was looking for something to do at home. Maybe something on YouTube or a recommended dvd?
