A one minute handstand is a good effort to start!

[Daydream]

What just do a handstand and hold it for a minute without anything else?

Yes. Against a wall. It’s hard!!

[Daydream]

Will attempt 30 seconds tomorrow and report back.

My core would often ‘fail’ before my shoulders.

Tried the 500 Bodyweight challenge today. Time yourself doing:

- 100 squats, followed by

- 100 star jumps, followed by

- 100 lunges (50 each leg), followed by

- 100 push ups, followed by

- 100 knee touches (crunches)

must complete each exercise before moving to the next.

12:47 for me, if anyone wants an easy target to beat. My 51 year old buddy got under 10 mins, but that’s his fucking job so f**k him and the horse he rode in on.

 

[philpy]

That's me done for today.

Must have been some walk if you spewed after it.

18:51 and no flowers at my funeral please

Was going to say 12:47 sounds an excellent time. Just looking at what you need to do I’d have thought about 15 mins, give or take. 

[Bairnardo]

Will have a go at the 500 tomorrow or the next day.

Could we get clarity on knee touch/crunch? Nearly dead here doing what I’d call a crunch, with feet in air and bringing elbows to knees. 11.59 anyway! 

Like the man or the woman below?

[Detournement]

Knees in the air.

I like combining it with a high leg reverse crunch as well.

[Shandon Par]

Bang on 9 minutes using the lady method above. Will try again later or tomorrow using the man pic method above.

She was a thief
You gotta believe
She stole my heart and my cat.

I’m doing at least 3 miles of walking every day. Sometimes it’s  just a walk but once a week I do a hike. Today I took the car out to the shops though, I feel dirty...and fatter

My axe is safely hidden somewhere.

Arse and thighs a bit sore today. Star jumps, push ups and sit ups all regular things but not done lunges or squats for ages. 

[Gnash]

What exactly constitutes a push up for this challenge?  Proper straight back and legs and getting your chest down to a fist's width from the ground?  

I can do 35-40 without stopping but then I'm gubbed so doing 100 takes 5-6 minutes, just for that segment alone.

[jamamafegan]

Yes. Against a wall. It’s hard!!

Been doing this as part of my workout. It is difficult. Can make it even harder by walking your hands in and out. Normally I’ll start with that to feel the burn and then move onto pike push ups with my feet on the coffee table. Once that’s becoming agony I’ll put my knees down on the table and continue like that.
