November 1 - November 7: 7 days Wall Sit challenge
You guys ROCKED on October 30 challenges! Since holidays are approaching, remember to do a different exercise every day might be somewhat challenging. On that note, we are bringing back weekly challenges. Each week, we have the same exercise, so it is easier to remember what's next. On Thanks Giving week, we will be doing squats, which is the least space needed or you can do that anywhere, so no excuses!!!
This week, we are going to kick off the November with wall sit. The ultimate goal is to to do 7 days straight. If you can do at least one more second than the day before, that is great and but if you cannot, it is Ok. Pick a duration that is at least 30 seconds in one setting to start.
Example
Day 1: 30 seconds, Day 2: 35 seconds, Day 3: 40 seconds, Day 4: 45 seconds, Day 5: 50 seconds, Day 6: 55 seconds, Day 7: 60 seconds!
Never done wall sit exercise? It is very simple. Find the area of the wall that you can lean on. Gradually, bend your knee and go lower while having you back against the wall. The goal is to make your hip and knees to be about 90 degrees. There is a modification available for beginners.
"To decrease the intensity of the wall sit, don't slide down the wall quite as far. Aim for a 45-degree angle at the hips rather than a 90-degree angle. This will take a bit of pressure off your knees and lighten the load on the quads"
https://www.verywellfit.com/the-wall-sit-quad-exercise-3120741
Additional Challenges: Try to add 2-3 days of walk/run/jog/cycle or other cross training a week through out the month of November.

4/8 - Congratulations for those who finished week one 50 Squats Challenge!
There were 12 people who participated in 50 squats for 7 days challenge. In total, we squatted 2,810 times! During the challenge, complaints such as "When does this get easier?" to "Quads are burning" were voiced. For one of our participant, it was his first time ever to do 50 squats.
Congratulations everyone who participated in this challenge. Brian, Michael, and Jann managed to complete squats 7 days in a row! Amazing!
Let's get Week Two Push-up Challenge started!
