July Squat Challenge

Goodness, can you believe the month of July is almost upon us?! I have decided to make July my get my bum in shape month. How, you ask? Well, with squats, of course! In the month of June I did my fair share of squats and have already started noticing a change in those upper thighs and the bum area. There are tons of different types of squats to do and each work a different muscle. Most every squat will work the glutes, hamstrings, quads, inner thighs, and even our calf muscles! Working all these areas instead of the bum alone is how so many people achieve that gravity defying, bikini loving bum!

For July's squat challenge, I decided to go with one of the Fit Sugar squat workouts. This one os pretty incredible since it combines five different types of squats for an all-around workout and some serious boredom fighting. This one also has break days and gets us up to 200 squats by the last day!

Some of the before and after photos from squat challenges are simply incredible. Those alone, without even adding in the strength component give me reason enough to get those squats going! 

Tomorrow will be the first day of the squat challenge since it is the first of July and July 30th will be the last. I am so excited to start this challenge and complete it all with you! Happy squatting :D
