July Fitness Challenge

Are you fit enough to complete the July Squat & Abs Challenge?

July challenge officially starts today (July 1st) and runs until July 31th.  The goal is to complete 7750 squats or abs exercises for the month.

Quick math – that’s 250 exercises per day.

Each squat counts as 1, full ab movements also count as 1.   For half ab movements (crunch) or alternating half movements (like flutter kick or bicycles),  2 movements count as 1 exercise.

(Its an honor system so use your judgment when scoring your exercises.)

If you miss a day, you just have to do more on the days that follow to catch up.

Good Luck!

To complete the April Burpee Challenge?

Burpee challenge officially starts on Friday (April 4th) and runs until April 30th. Here’s how it works…

April 4th – Set timer for 3 minutes, hit start and do as many burpees as you can in those three minutes. That’s your baseline. …

April 5th through 29th – each day, your goal is to do X more burpees than the prior day.

You can choose your X to be either 3, 4, or 5, depending upon what you are comfortable with. Pick your number at the start and stick with it all the way through.

April 30th – set timer for 3 minutes, hit start and see how many more burpees you can do versus April 4th.

RULES

•  These are REAL burpees… pushup at the bottom and a vertical jump at the top.
•  You can ‘bank’ burpees, so if you want to do a few extra here or there you certainly can. It might even be a good idea to do a few extra early on, since this challenge is going to start slow and get progressively more difficult.
•  If you miss a day, you just have to do more on the days that follow to catch up.
