Today is Day 19 of the Home Office Fitness: Increase Productivity & Lose Belly Fat Challenge. (<– If you’d like to join us, please do. We’ll be repeating the same series of exercises for one more week, so you can jump right in.)
Today is also the … Team Computer Butt Contest: Who’s the Squattiest?!
Every Friday during the first month of the Fat Loss Quickie program, Scott has us do 100 squats for our cardio. And, it is h-a-r-d! Well, today, we’re taking it up to a new level by challenging each other to see how many squats we can do. Here’s the scoop.
The 3 squattiest persons (the three who do the most squats – no weights – from now until end of day) will win prizes! We’ll all check in throughout the day, but people can continue to beat you all day long so it’s in your best interest to do your squats early, so you have time to add to them later in the day if someone blows past you.
For example, if I post 125 squats at 10 in the morning and then Ronnie posts 140, then I can go do 25 more to beat him (and of course trash-talk him) and so it goes.
Here’s what you’ll win:
First Place-> Your Choice of the Three Prizes Below.
Second Place-> Your Choice of the Two Remaining Prizes.
Third Place->The Prize that’s left.
Update: More prizes being added!
The three prizes are:
- $25 towards any purchase at www.EasyPLR.com
- Copy of Homepreneur Habits (one of my favorite reports!)
- A pair of Handerpants mailed to your home. You know you want them!
- Susanne’s Freezer Cooking Guide (e-Book). Giving you less time in the kitchen, and more time to do your Fat Loss Quickie Workouts!
So, start squatting (deep squats – no cheating!) and continue to post your updates all day long. The cool thing is that everyone wins because we’ll all be losing our computer butts together.
Free Taste of the 10 Minute Quickie Workout.
Just in case, if you missed my post yesterday, here’s a Sample Workout from Scott. If you don’t think 10 minutes will give you the results you are looking for, I challenge you to do this workout and say that you didn’t feel enough BURN! ![]()

Signing in with 102 squats!

September 18th, 2009 at 4:51 am
Woot!
September 18th, 2009 at 4:51 am
Clarification: You can use weights, but they don’t count as doing any more squats than the rest of us. So don’t go saying “I did 100, but with 15 lb weights” because it still counts for 100.
That was my reasoning there.
Mom said she’d be doing 200 today. Will she be our big winner?! Go mom!!!

My twitter stream is full of tweets from all of you, each of which has totally brightened my day.
You all ROCK!
Nicole. I knew this would be fun… but never did I imagine it would be this much fun.
See… fitness really can be fun. When you create a positive atmosphere with support and camaraderie, it sure can take your mind off of they typical train of thought that, “I’ve got to do this to lose weight.”
It’s this type of thing that leads to creating a long term healthy lifestyle.
I love you all.

100 squats done at 6:45 am WITH weights.

Go Traci! I’m still waking up, guy. It’s gonna be a looooong day! lol.
September 18th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Holy moly! I’m checking in with 0 squats, lol.
Just had to comment that I can’t believe there are two people at 100 already. You ladies are Serious. Way to go team computer butt!
I think I’m going to opt-out of the contest though, I started doing some squats today and my knee started making noise (which it sometimes does and it means that bone is rubbing against kneecap so I think I should take it easy today).
You can do it!!

Good job listening to your body Angela. If you were to ignore your body it could lead to several days off from your quickie workouts.
Mighty proud of you!
I usually have one day a month where my knee just does keeps popping out of place. I know that’s a definite day off for me.
Listening to your body is key. It shows that you are applying one of the key strategies of the Fat Loss Quickie lifestyle… Awareness!
Thanks for cheering us on.

Good stuff in that cookbook folks! We just had the southern marinated chicken last night (put the raw chicken in the marinade, freeze, thaw and cook). It was DELISH!
September 18th, 2009 at 7:08 am
Count me in … working on my first set of squads NOW
And can I just say… what a fun idea Nik.
September 18th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Checking in with 150 squats … and boy are my legs shaking.
Quick tip, do your squats next to a chair or the couch. As you start to get a little wobbly, keep one finger on the back of the chair or couch for balance. No cheating though, you can’t use your hands to help pull you back up

ok. It’s 10:52 am here and I’m at 150.
I’m going to try to hop up every hour and do some more until I either run out of day or fall over in a pile of noodley legs.
September 18th, 2009 at 10:54 am
Good morning!
Great shoulders workout
.
I got 85 squats in before a rest and I’m up to 120 now. Guess the practice this week paid off.
I’m so pumped for sweaty, stinky work day!

September 18th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
I’m up to 250 right now… my legs are turning into noodles and I’m going to have to stop for now or I won’t be able to walk up the hill to pick my daughter up from school.
I have a feeling I won’t be able to walk at all tomorrow
Nicole Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
That’s more than you thought you’d be able to do. I knew you had more in you!
Susanne Myers Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Sure is… my competitive spirit is kicking in
The walk up to the school was “interesting”. I wasn’t completely sure I’d make it my legs were so wobbly. I guess that’s how a 1 year old feels when he’s starting to walk.
Not sure I have any more squats in me but am going to give it another try later this afternoon.
September 18th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
EEEK!!! KEVIN!!! Stop it, right now!
Hey, does age count for anything here?
As Nicole will attest, I am not really a morning person… sort of live the life of a second-shift worker, ya know?
With that said, I DO have my FIRST 100 squats in now. My next 100 squats will be coming up. I have my good shoes on (my lucky marathon shoes… yes MARATHON shoes) so I can jump up any time I feel like it and do some more squats. Ha! Take that!
Hey, Susanne, cool prize! I love the freezer cooking book! Spend one day cooking and use all that spare time each night to do another Quickie. Very thoughtful!
See ya back here after my next 100! And give some thought to that whole “give a break to the ol’ lady doin’ squats” thing, okay?
Nicole Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
No rest for the wicked – as my mom taught me.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
I’ve gotten 60 more in so I’m up to 180 and my legs are burning. I’m not giving up yet but I may be spent.

Yeah I’m seriously like confused. I keep getting up to do something and I’m like Ah, I can do a few more.
I’ve actually done about 25 more. I may have to keep this 10-15 at a time thing up for a while.
Pretty sure I’m actually shot for today. I’m getting weak kneed now.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
At 200 squats & my 12-year old is at 201 (just to beat me!)
About to do my regular quickie workout while I still can! lol.
Susanne Myers Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Wohooo… way to go Nik and Mason.
I hear ya on the regular workout, better go do mine as well while I can still move (sorta).
September 18th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Looks like we’re up to a collective 1696 squats so far – that’s a lot of squatting.
Judi Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
WOW! That is really impressive! and it isn’t even 3PM here yet!!
September 18th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Wow I take a break and you all are just “squating maniacs!” Way to go!
I am up to 220, oh yeah and I still need to do my work out too!
September 18th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
just added 10 more squats….
Susanne Myers Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
You’re kidding, right? I was so close …..
September 18th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Ok, boy did this hurt, but I did 36 more bringing my total to 286
Unbelievable, I didn’t think it was possible to do this many.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Forgot to mention that I was at 250 before Kevin posted his 10 more.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
250 squats and did my Day 5 workout. That ball pass is soooo hard, but getting easier every week.
September 18th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
So, if my math is correct, we’ve got …
Susanne = 286
Kevin = 285
Judi = 255
Me = 250
My Son = 231
Erica = 180
Lisa Marie = 170
Traci = 100
My Mom = 100
The elusive other members are hiding, secretly planning their attacks.

September 18th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
I was just informed by Nicole that I DO NOT get an “old lady” handicap.
I just gotta summon the Marine in my blood. Mom? Where are ya?
September 18th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Geez! Susanne! Way to go!
September 18th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
200!
September 18th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I took a shower — finally! Does that count for anything?
September 18th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
I am impressed. I did a total of 140 today. I will catch up to the leaders next time
Judi Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
You still have time … though I don’t think I can do anymore, I have rubber legs!
September 18th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
I think I’m going to have to call it quits at 260.
It’s family movie night, and Tracy Roberts is kicking me off the PC. (She’s decided that preserving my mental health is part of her duties as my amazing Personal Assistant.) God Bless her for that.
Keep updating and I’ll get prizes to everyone in the morning.
((hugs)) and THANK YOU for a fun day!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 5:22 pm

WOW I can’t believe it – ya’ll are rockin’ the socks off this squat challenge! Keep it up.
Now, I debated on posting my total yet – as you can see I’ve been MIA today here….but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been doing my squats!
351
And I’m not done!
September 18th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Today is my first day. Did Fat Loss Quickie 10 minute shuffle cardio OMG, then 60 squats. My legs, thights and butt are so feeling the burn, even my lower back is feeling it. It feels good.
September 18th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Well, I guess I’m coming a bit late to this challenge, as today was my first Friday of FLQ.. my first experience with doing proper squats
Do the 100 count that Scott has us do, or are these to be added on top?
If they count, then I’m at 120 so far.
Joel
Nicole Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
They sure do count! You’re on the board.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Okay you young whipper snappers you… now that I’ve done my part to fan the flames of competition a bit, I’m backing off. The last 25 just about did me in!
I’m thinking, hey, it’s Friday, Nicole’s got some cooking programs tivo’d for me, and I hear a bottle of wine calling my name.
Thanks for the xoxoxoxox’s and support Scott and ya’ll! The Mom is calling it a day.
Carry on!

September 18th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
YOU can do it Mom!
You still have several hours (if we are going by this blogs time). Wait an hour or so and do another 50!
September 18th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
You’re right! Just cuz she’s a Granny doesn’t mean she needs pity. CRUSH HER! lmao!
((waving & blowing kisses to mom!)) hee!
September 18th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Next week, I’m thinking we do this again, but have it somehow also benefit charity (in addition to fun prizes).
Thoughts? I could pay out per squat?
Joel Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
How about…
We set a goal now for next week, and for each squat we DON’T do, we give $1 to charity?
Or maybe a group challenge, we all in total do 2,000, or 3k, 5k, and if we don’t… something happens.
Arika Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
I kinda like that idea – set a group goal and pay for everyone we don’t get – the only thing is I know we are all overachievers so we’ll beat any number we set I think.
So, how about we do what Joel suggested, and WHEN we go over it we pay X amount for the number of squats we go over too!
September 18th, 2009 at 7:15 pm
No fair I’m 47 does count for anything?
September 18th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Wow… everyone keeps going bigger and bigger. It looks like we will have to do 500 or so… but now that I said that, maybe 1,000.
Since I didn’t start till about 4pm today, I think I will squatting till midnight none stop.
Nicole Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Do I sense a competitive spirit in you, my friend? We may need to carry that awesome drive into a business challenge.

Arika Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
WOOT WOOT! Kevin you are my hero!
I missed something somewhere because I didn’t realize you were approaching 500. I counted 435, is that right?
September 18th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Give me another 50 for a total of 401!
September 18th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Ah come on ladies – we can’t let these guys win!
September 18th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Hi! This is actually The Mom at Nicole’s house… I just did 25 more squats… that puts this ol’ lady at a whoppin’ 350 squats ya’ll. Not bad, but you are kickin’ my butt you whipper snappers!

Way to go!
September 18th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Ok add another 100 for me and I’m finished for the night. (Total 501)
Great job everyone! We should all be very proud of ourselves!
Joel Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Congrats, 500 is amazing!
September 18th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Is anyone else walking funny? My legs don’t want to work that well
I’m at 520 squats… so far.
Arika Reply:
September 18th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
That’s a sign you need to stop and let me win!
Wow – 520 you are so gonna feel that in the AM.
September 18th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Here’s an idea…
For those of you who are up to it… Maybe we could do a 12 hour Squat-a-thon on LiveStream.
We could embed the video code on the blog and could even have 2-3 FLQ members going each hour if there’s enough members up for it.
We would just have to provide our channel’s embed code for Nicole to put on the blog.
So it would require you to have the ability to video record yourself live.
We could have a donation button next to the video and for every $1 donated that person has to do 1 squat.
I did 100 squats with 45 pounds in less than 6 minutes… so in 6 minutes a charity would have received $100
The good thing about this is that outsiders could help us raise money… and it may just draw people into the Computer Butt Challenge.
I think it would be nice that the person who is doing the squatting for the hour have their affiliate link for FLQ under the video broadcast.
What do ya think about that? Who would be up for putting themselves on live video…. I sure would even if it’s for 12 hours straight
September 18th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
I didn’t think my legs could hurt any more than what they were… I was wrong.
I did another 100 with light weights this time, for a total of 620 squats.
September 19th, 2009 at 10:13 am
Is this the final tally? I think I counted them all.
Joel = 620
Arika = 501
Kevin = 435
My Mom = 350
Judi = 310
Susanne = 286
Me = 260
My Son = 231
Erica = 180
Lisa Marie = 170
Traci = 100
Grand total of … 3443 Squats!
AMAZING!!!
September 19th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Yippee Arika, Joel and Kevin! And look who came in 4th….. hmmmmmmmmmm???
I got to Nicole’s house last night and my grandson started doing a few more squats so I had to do more too. What could I do, let him show me up? But, yikes, are my legs stiff this morning! Ah, but it sure feels good! How are you all feeling???

Aw man, I got a fever/sore throat and of course a migraine, and went to an away football game in the pouring/thunder-filled rain. So I was down for the count. I’m going to say, though – I think I’m grateful for the fever/sore throat/migraine – cuz as it is I can barely, and I do mean barely sit down on the toilet!!!!!!! hahaha!
Two days of shufflin’ with Scott and then Fri filled with squats – man! I’m a goner!
And I will remind you all, once again – that my house has TWO sets of stairs – and because, of the weird layout of the house – both must be taken multiple times a day! LOL!!
Good gravy!
Was kind of embarrassing in the ladies room at the other teams’ field – I’d be moaning and groaning in my stall! I’m sure there were some cheerleaders and whatnot giggling hysterically at me! Ha!
