You’re right. I didn’t see any reference to her name on the website and just assumed it was Neil. I have updated the post accordingly :)

I was buying a car today and came home late. Just dropped down to start my push ups and then checked the schedule to see how many I had to do. Was quite pleased to realise it was a rest day.

I have found the squats ok; perhaps since I have been running over the last few months. I have definitely found the push ups to get easier over time. We could always do one of the other challenges next month, such as the plank.

hahaha That has to be the best conversion I have ever seen! :)

Hopefully the tyre will be deflated soon.

Thanks Melissa.

I am gonna try the same as Kevin and see if I can do the last day without any sets. We will see. I encourage everyone else to join it! Start your 30 days right now.

1000 squats and 1000 push ups in 30 days.

For your international readers I will do the metric system conversion.

2 stones = 1 spare tire (tyre) around the belly.

After 30 days and successful completion of the challenge no one should be complaining about your performance muscle :)

That’s great you have lose 6kg alread Shyuan.

You are right. Just take your time and stick to a diet and exercise plan that you can maintain. You will gain more confidence once you start seeing results.

If you have reached a plateau, try and make small changes. Review your diet and see if there is anywhere you can improve. Also, be sure to do cardio in conjunction with strength training; as I have seen a lot of beginners in the gym spend a ridiculous amount of time doing sit ups instead of doing running or cycling.

The challenge has not been too difficult so far. I haven’t trained in martial arts for around 4 years now (due to an injury), but when I did, we used to do huge amounts of squats, push ups, and sit ups. Which I think has helped me. Though it could be a little more difficult at the end of the month.
