Its been mighty quiet around here lately so I thought I'd put a challenge out there.

For time:
100 push-ups
100 squats
100 crunches

Here are the rules:

1. Push-ups: chest MUST touch the ground and arms must be fully extended at the top for the rep to count. Doing them on your knees is acceptable.

2. Squats: knees should be at 90 degrees at the bottom of the squat. I used my couch as a guide, (if my butt touched it I was low enough). We're all different heights so find a box, stack pillows, have your roommate crouch on all fours just get low!

3. Crunches: feet off the ground and knees at 90 degrees. Make it a good range, no 1 inch crunches.

4. You get a minute break between exercises so subtract 2 minutes from your total time. Post your time.

5. Most of all, don't cheat. Every time you cheat I will know and I will punch a kitten.


See the awesome illustrations for technique. If you are still confused then youtube them, there are lots of good how-to's out there.

You have 3 days to do the challenge.... GO!

    I had to do knee push ups after 50 regular ones, and it still took me 6.5 mins get through all 100.

  3. Yeah the other night I was gonna post a picture of a tumbleweed but then I spent too long finding one that I liked and looked like it was rollin' real good.

    But I did just see this commercial which I found inspiring that I was gonna post.

  4. I did half knee push ups as well...
    That was harder than I thought it would be. I did about 11:00 minutes.
