Today I'm bedridden. Not because I'm sick but because I did 50 squats consecutively yesterday. My lower body is in so much pain but I will not give up. I will wake up and do 10 more.

It's never a good idea to exaggerate! Everything in moderation. :-)

Thank you but I just started out on a program that recommends a minimum of 50 squats in a day.

@aureliah Maybe you should divide them into smaller units. Not 50 squats at once but 10 squats five times a day.

I spent the whole day today watching my series and my lotting in between the series. But I'm going out tonight to party. Was a good day staying in bed for a change.

@aureliah It's something that is rare for someone like me that works 7 days a week. It's a luxury to stay in bed the whole day.

@aureliah I am not an expert, but I know that we should start low and gradually increase.

oh this is not going to be a quick recovery, muscles need to be relax and the only you can relax it now is massage, yeah you need some good massage.

I once tried that the pain was unbearable, I had to take a rest and wait for the pain to cease, I started with simple exercises like jogging and rope skipping and I graduated slowly to squats I started with 20 after jogging then gradually increased up to 100,just do what your body can take don't strain so much it might bring more harm than good.

Doing squats are good idea to stay fit. Doing fifty makes your back hurt a lot

Why do you want to do 10 more? Everything in moderation is a good advice.

I suggest you start with 20 squats a day. 10 in the morning and 10 in the evening. Drink plenty of water, avoid junk food, start skipping and eating more fruits. We will learn more tips here.

Ooh too bad. Wish you a quick recovery. Squats makes the lower body hurt when you do them the first time. It is like you sit on air while exercising. Quick recovery.

Take a little rest for a while. Relax your muscles, and don't force them if you're already really fatigued.

It's good to get stuck in sports. Earlier I also devoted more time to sports and a healthy way of life. Now there is no time, I get very tired and physically tired.
