Whether you love a good fitness challenge, need to switch up your workout routine, or just need a kick in the pants – literally – you may want to check out the 100 squat challenge trending this month. You basically commit to doing 100 squats every day for an entire month. And if that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment, the amazing results might be worth it. Think: big time booty gains.

Does the 100 squat challenge actually work?

Doing 100 of anything is bound to make a difference in your body. But doing the exact same squat may not give you the results you’re looking for. 

In fact, the co-creator of Fitness Blender shares that “A basic bodyweight squat is a great exercise for toning up the lower body – easily one of the best – but you will get faster results by doing a combination of squat variations, rather than the same exact exercise over and over again.”

Therefore, if you choose to do 100 squats every day, you should aim to do a variation of squats to work different muscle groups throughout the 30 day challenge. 

2 top 100 squat challenges 

Blogilates founder, Casey Ho, has created a 30-day squat challenge with a different type of squat for each day. This is a great way to push yourself without getting bored and without leaving important muscles groups out.

Fitness Blender has also created a challenge with 10 different squats to work more muscles in a short amount of time. 

So, even if we’re half-way through June, you can still join the 100 squat challenge and build your booty.
