7-Day Squat Challenge

A workout plan for all fitness levels. Squat to it!

Get results with this easy to follow workout plan. Squat exercises are great for those with little time, little experience, little space, or all of the above! You can literally stand in one spot and make progress by following this simple squat workout defined below.

We are challenging you to follow the plan for seven days. Come on now, you can do anything for one week! But we have a feeling you might keep going once you begin to see results.

Beginner? That’s fine. Intermediate? We’ve got you covered. Advanced? We’ve got a plan for you too! It’s all detailed below. Start with the beginner plan and work your way to advanced. So are you in? Join us for the 7-Day Squat Workout Challenge and start seeing results. Don’t just stand there, squat to it!

Equipment Needed: set of medium-heavy dumbbells (10-20 lbs)

What to Do: Below are seven squat variations. Four squats are designated as the core workout. The other three are squats used to burn out once your workout is complete.

CHALLENGE: Depending on your fitness level, perform the daily squats as directed. Once you’ve completed your daily squats, rest 1 minute, then perform one of the burn out squats to failure. Failure simply means performing a prescribed exercise until you’re too fatigued to continue without compromising form.
EXTRA-CHALLENGE: After completing your daily squats, perform all three burn out squats to failure with a 1-minute rest after each one.

Beginner Level: Complete 50 squats daily (can be broken into 2 sessions).
Intermediate Level: Complete 100 squats daily.
Advanced Level: Complete 200 squats daily.

Routine:

Day 1: Dumbell Squat
Day 2: Dumbbell Squat Jump
Day 3: Dumbbell Sumo Squat 
Day 4: Goblet Squat
Day 5: Rest/Recovery
Day 6: Dumbbell Goblet Squat
Day 7: Dumbbell Squat Jump

  1. Hi! I;ve done the 30 day squat challenge before? Does this make me at inter or advance?
    btw does this target lower inner thigh fat?

    1. Congratulations on completing a previous squat challenge! The great thing about these challenges is that they can be adjusted according to your fitness level. Try starting at the intermediate level. If that feels too easy, then bump it up to advanced.
