The Squad of Squats is squatting for the 57 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer today!

57 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer today. A further 9 will lose their life. We want to make a difference to the lives of those 57 Australians impacted by the disease - that is why we are taking on the 57 Squat Challenge to raise vital funds for world-class breast cancer research. But we need your help.

Please support our squat challenge to save lives and make a difference.

Every donation, big or small, will get us closer to reaching our goal and helping the National Breast Cancer Foundation end deaths from breast cancer.

The Extra Challenges are Kicking my Ass

Tuesday 5th Mar
Whose bright idea was it do 57 extra squats for donations $5 and above + 15 weighted squats when I'm having a particular stinky thought?? Oh right! It was my idea.

While my legs are screaming regrets, my mind is not. What's a little bit of jelly legs compared to some of the hard journeys that others are facing? Even in my own life, cancer has affected numerous people around me. That's why this is important to do. For the research. To support of families going through cancer journeys. For people fighting cancer to know that they're never fighting alone. 

This is the least I can do. 

An extra EXTRA challenge

Sunday 3rd Mar
It's Day 3 and my legs are ready to fall off. So obviously that means I should provide myself with an additional challenge, right? On top of my extra squats that I'll do with donations, I'd additionally like to employ some operant conditioning. There's a particular negative thought pattern and topic that comes up often for me, and now I'm choosing to fight it with weighted squats. The conditions: if that negative thought is sticking around for a bothersome amount of time, then I will do 15 weighted squats each time. Will I regret this? Probably. But to that, I say "Eff it."

Extra Squats + An added challenge

Sunday 3rd Mar
Hey folks! So I found out that doing additional squats means I get a star badge on the day over a regular schmegular tick. The overachiever in me says, "YES, keep doing extra squats!" But the unfit being says, "Please no Delia..." And to that I say, NO MERCY. For the remainder of this challenge, I'll be doing an additional 57 squats for every donation (on top of my daily 57 + whatever extras I feel like!) If that doesn't sell it, then I don't know what will. Cause me pain - I ENCOURAGE IT! Then you'll see more screenshots like the one attached

My first 57!

Friday 1st Mar
Doing my first 57 squats for the month after going for a run wasn't my finest idea yet, but what got me through is knowing that I'm doing this for all the right reasons!

Jelly legs is a small price to pay when it comes to being a part of the fight against cancer. So I'll do it again, and again (and again 28 more times).

Today was a combination of Sumo squats and regular squats, but as the month goes on, I'll try and vary what I'm doing. Watch this space!
