We are on day 14 of our lastest Super Squats Challenge: jumping lunges. The goal of the first 30 days is to increase the number of lunges you do in 30 seconds by 25% from your baseline.

The Sikh religion teaches respect to all other religions and that one should not only defend one’s religion, but the religious faith of others as a human right as well.
