I was looking up some of the benefits of doing squats to help me keep going and found some surprising ones that I will list here mostly for my own benefit.

* tones the whole leg
* lifts and rounds the butt
* strengthens core
* increased upper body strength (that one surprised me)
* no other exercise works more muscles
* increases flexibility
* improves balance
* good for circulation - supposed to get rid of cellulite
* improves digestion (aids in keeping you regular)
* creates an anabolic environment that helps build muscle in the body
* when done properly, helps to prevent injury

I have a tendency to over do exercise so part of this challenge is for me to build up slowly. I did 5 mid-day and wanted to do more but held myself back. In contrast, that evening I really didn't want to do them, but forced myself to anyway. Knowing I was going to check in here was a big factor.

Kudos to everyone for starting, keeping on, and even starting over.
