Urzie Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm doing the 30/30 squat challenge found here. I'll let Ido Portal do the talking.. -- Squat - basic human position.Original human use: REST For the next 30 days spend 30 minutes a day of ass to grass, relaxed spine, flat foot squat. Simply - set up a timer in your smartphone for 30 minutes and every time you go down to the squat - let it run. (Speaking on the phone, waiting for the train, etc..) Commit and get HUGE benefits in mobility, knee and hip health, digestion and more. Make sure to post a BEFORE and AFTER. Rules of thumb:1. No REST days during the 30 days.2. Relaxed spine - no need to try to remain erect or with neutral spine. Its a RESTING position.3. Width between the feet - around shoulder width apart but should be individualized and experimented with - aim for maximal depth and relaxation.4. How much feet should be turned out or should they be facing forward? Don't let anyone sell you the idea of ONE perfect position - this should be individualized and experimented with - aim for maximal depth and relaxation.5. Knee pain? Hip pain? stand up and move around. Resume the squat and work in small short bursts of squatting throughout the day.6. Footwear? Best - barefoot. Second best - minimal footwear. 7. Keep your heels on the floor if possible. If impossible, try a small heel support until you gain the proper mobility to squat flat foot on the ground. 8. True sign of good squatting? When you get tired from STANDING - you squat and not vise versa! True story!9. How deep should you squat? There is only one answer - DEEPER.--- And some creative ones if you feel like it. It would be great if you joined the Facebook group to spread the word further. Squatters unite! 2 Quote #3 - #4 - #5 - #6 - #7 - currentJuggling PvP, Squat PvP, HOoRAY Link to comment

Nuala Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'll start tomorrow! Ok, that's procrastination speaking. Mily have been tempting me with this challenge for a while, so I need to jump in. No laughing at my squatting posture, my ankles are not really good. I'm a bit lazy to take a picture right now, so here is an old one but I'm still at the same level. 1 Quote Nuala, level 13 Robot mistress of pain, Assassin Guild leader First journey: The Rise and fall of an Assassin #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13 Second journey: Crawling back #1 Link to comment

Nuala Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Awgawd... First try, no heel support 12 minutes. Easy. Then Milythael told me that I needed to support my heels for the pvp and I obeyed like a nice little robot. (still a very pouting one) THIS IS KILLING ME!!!!! The front of my legs is screaming in despair, like if thousands of kittens were denied tuna cans. I can only last 2 minutes! 2!!!!!!!!

Urzie Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Good squat jwlynch00! You look comfortable. The picture gets bigger when you press it. Yesterday I had 2 minute intervals spread across all day, then last squat lasted 6 minutes. I might try for 7 today. 2 Quote #3 - #4 - #5 - #6 - #7 - currentJuggling PvP, Squat PvP, HOoRAY Link to comment
