Red1263 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Day 2 for me, No pic, also I had to stand up with 12 mins left for a few moments due to the numb throbbing feeling in my feet but I got it.

Everstorm Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hhhhhhhmf.... I can see that all of you, humans, have no troubles to keep you heels on the floor. I highly suggest that after this challenge we make a "Squat like a robot" day, because there is no reason! Day 3 (only?!? )30 minutes doneRecord: 3 minutes on 3 books15 minutes spend using 3 books as support15 minutes spent using 2 books as support28 minutes spent complaingI can only keep my heels on the floor if I take a wider stance. I suspect my belly throws me too far back with a narrow (hip width) stance, causing the heels up phenomenon. 30 minutes done in 10 minute intervals. Barely able to stand afterward. Where is my foam roller? Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment
KB Girl Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 This thread is full of awesome! Nuala you're cracking me up and actually motivating me to join. I'm very whiny too when I'm squating without elevated heels. In my weightlifting shoes it's all good, but barefoot it's so hard to keep balance and I just want to let myself fall on my face or ass and be done with the crazyness. Ugh. Ok, i'm getting up.. err, down, and joining you guys.

Nuala Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Day 4 done. Went back to 3 books under the heels, 2 makes me unbalanced. My front legs feels.. weird, as if my bones were sore. My tights seems to sulk a bit too. I am still not convinced at all by the concept of "resting position", I mean, sure if you had to chose between a squat and sitting on a thousand needles, squat would be probably more restful (even if I'm sure some yogi would disagree) On to week 5!

The Beard Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Day 3. Ankles are a lot better this time around and it's easier to get up now! Held one for 10 minutes then broke the rest of them up into 7, 5, 6, and 2 minute blocks!

obax Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Since there's apparently no late to this challenge, I'll give it a shot. I'll probably be moaning and groaning along with Nuala, my ankle mobility leaves a lot to be desired... Quote Dare mighty things Current Challenge Link to comment

Everstorm Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Day 3 done. Seems a tiny bit easier. Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment
obax Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Groaning squatters unite! Indeed. I made it almost 2 minutes (x 3 rounds), with my heels up on one book each (I used 2 of the Hunger Games books, I knew they'd have to be good for something some day!). The fronts of my ankles were on fire, I couldn't tell if it was from the compression or from the effort of keeping myself from falling over backwards or a bit of both. Nothing's particularly sore this morning, though I can sort of feel something in that area a bit... Sadly, my TV is up too high for me to see it easily when squatting. I may have to move it to the floor, which means I'd have to clean up the floor first.... *sigh* Quote Dare mighty things Current Challenge Link to comment
Nuala Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Day 5... My legs are still acting like an ant colony, they are also a bit sore-ish. I still use books to support myself and am still not understanding fully the concept of "resting". Truth to be said, today was not that bad, I mean, there could be worse. I could have had to run after a metro with 10 cm high stilettos heels but I doubt I would have been able to post this message in that case. But at least stilettos are deadly weapons so I could have taken a few people with me in my doom. On an unrelated(?) note, my abs are killing me. I don't remember using them extensively lately, can the squats be responsible?

The Beard Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Day 4 Not as easy to keep the squats held for longer than 5 minutes, but getting up out of them was easier today!

milythael Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 6/30Completed, but this picture was from before I started keeping track. It was just too amusing to me, as it is me resting in a squat ... on a rope net ... nearly 3 meters in the air.

If you have to fight to not fall backwards/sideways/forewards, then that's a lot of ab work.

Everstorm Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I had no idea how many muscles were in my shins until I felt them all firing to keep my balance. Day 4 done. Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment
obax Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm a day behind on my reporting, but last night I did about the same as the day before. At first I thought it was easier, then the burning starting all of a sudden, and that was that... I felt a little more balanced though, so I guess that's good.
