30 Day Wall Sit Challenge completed

As you may remember, I started the 30 Day Wall Sit Challenge last month and yesterday was technically day 30. However, I was so busy with my exam yesterday that I didn't have the time to do my 5 minutes of wall sits. But not to worry, I did it today :)

Unfortunately everyone in my family was asleep so I had no one to take a photo/video of me completing the challenge, but I promise that I did it. 

It isn't called a "challenge" for no reason. This wall sits challenge has been by far the hardest for me. With the squats challenge, even though my thighs and butt burned like crazy, the motion of squatting wasn't so bad because I had brief periods on standing upright which relieved the pain in my muscles. With wall sits on the other hand, you are in the same position for the whole time. So the burning starts, but then you are stuck in that position and there's not much you can do to make it stop. 

I felt the burning in my butt, quads, inner thighs, outer thighs and calves. Just everywhere really. All butt and leg muscles. I could go all technical and refer to all the muscles by name, but I wont. Just know that it hurts just everywhere. 

Please don't let that scare you. Pain is good! unless of course you've damaged something, then no that's bad. But that feeling you get when your muscles are crying out in pain is very satisfying.

I highly recommend this challenge to everyone. Go and make those legs of yours strong and sleek!

30 Day Wall Sit Challenge

I recently completed a 30 day squat challenge where I worked my way up to doing 250 squats in one go. I quite like the idea of these month challenges where you focus on a muscle group and improve it over time. 

While instagramming, I came across something called wall sits. It's where you lean with your back flat on a wall and your legs bent at a 90 degree angle...and you pretty much sit there. 

I then found a one month wall sit challenge. By the end of the 30 days, you should be able to wall sit for a full 5 minutes. Today is day one for me and so I get to start off with a nice cruisy ten seconds of wall sitting, but I'm looking forward to reaching the end of this challenge; not only so that my legs will be more toned, but so I can start on my next one month challenge...I'm thinking a one month planking challenge?
