Lets do a fitness challenge!

This will be something relatively easy, no need for a gym membership or anything

so, start off,
20 push ups,
30 crunches
30 squats.

2 sets of that.

EACH DAY add one more. so, day 2 would be

21 push ups
31 crunches
31 squats

We keep this going for a month. so it would end on april 4th.

Best of luck!

Here, I;'ll make it a bit easier for those who want:

start with 1/2, so

10 push ups
15 crunches
15 squats

and then add 1 every other day

EDIT: so, this is a list of those in the challenge:

I want to avoid putting on weight in uni like my dad did, so I'm doing this. it doesnt take long and it would do me some good.

Can't I just watch Law & Order reruns on Netflix and eat Ben & Jerry's?

I'm game. I've been meaning to pick up my daily routine again.

I would add planks to that list as well. Maybe 20 seconds the first two days, and add 5 seconds every day after that. They're really, really good for your core. I've been told better than crunches, but I have not fact checked that.

bob and john > Party-vi
03/04/2015 at 16:37

you can.

AFTER youve done your pushs ups/crunches and squats :P

I'm tempted to change out the crunches for something a bit more intense, I remember reading about some good exercises that would REALLY help motorcyclists.

you can add to that w/e you want. I havent done any physical activity in a few years, I'm also meaning to head to the gym and do cardio once or twice a week

YOU'RE ON. High intensity reps, son!

bob and john > Party-vi

fine, i'll meet you 1/2 way. you can cut those numbers in 1/2, and only add one every 2 days.

The goddamn snow needs to melt so I can run around the beautiful, historic city I live it. I've been meaning to get back into yoga as well, but I keep brushing it off. I definitely need to get into better shape though. My current status is laughable at best.

She's the sexiest girl I've ever seen and owns two Beetles. And not in that I-accept-her-for-her-flaws pretty, like she has to leave parties when she gets sick of telling 20 guys who look better than me that she's in a relationship pretty. I'm not sure how it works, exactly.

I'm in too

bob and john > Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2
03/04/2015 at 18:40

go for it. just remember, that means you will be starting off with 80 push up on your first day (20 x 2 sets =40. you want double)

Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 > bob and john
03/04/2015 at 18:40

Also, do you want to do a diet thing with this? I just started a new thing almost 2 weeks ago. Eggs and bacon for breakfast, and the same salad for lunch and dinner (spinach, balsamic, tomatoes, cucumbers, grilled chicken, and carrots. Now I've started eating foods I used to like and they taste like shit. Honestly.

Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 > bob and john
03/04/2015 at 18:41

Yahh, more of a challenge. Not entirely sure I can make it, but I just want to set the bar high.

bob and john > Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2
03/04/2015 at 18:43

I'm not doing the diet thing because being a uni stident, its hard enough to eat already, let alone eat healthy. but you can if you want to

bob and john > Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2
03/04/2015 at 18:46

well, you can chnage the numbers if you want, but dont aim TOO high. remmeber, you are adding each and every day. and I dont want you to quite 1/2 through because you cant make it and your getting discouraged.

Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 > bob and john
03/04/2015 at 18:53

I'm at uni too. My whole this is, all the food is shitty, so I might as well eat healthy.

im down but I request you add dips for triceps

Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 > bob and john
03/04/2015 at 18:56

Very true, but I will try to get comfortable in a routine. Might skip arm and shoulder days at the gym, though, because I'll be dead.

bob and john > OPPOsaurus WRX
03/04/2015 at 19:00

you can add it in for your own set. I have REALLY skinny arms, and push ups + dips would actually kill me.

that, and I'm already 3 days in and dont want to ruin my routine already

Just writing this here so I don't forget to put it in my phone later.

Here's what I'm going to do:

Day 1

20 pushups
30 crunches
30 squats
20 seconds plank
20 dips if I've not passed the fuck out by that point

+2 pushups, crunches, squats, and dips per day.
+5 seconds plank per day

Run 1 mile twice a week once it's not below freezing every single day.
Find a yoga class by the end of the month, money permitting.

I may be dead in two weeks. We'll see.

Additional things:

No soda during the week
Fried crap and pizza severely limited. Maybe one meal a week? TBD.
Healthy smoothy for breakfast, time and money permitting

Also, are crunches with your feet touching the ground, or raised up 90 degrees?

66671 - 200 [METRIC] my dash > bob and john
03/04/2015 at 21:34

Can I also switch the number of crunches and push ups? My abs are nice already, I need bigger arms.

03/04/2015 at 21:55

I just did them, the crunches are really hard but it's barely doable, I just bumped up the number of push ups to 30 only.

03/04/2015 at 21:57

remember, you are adding one each day. I'm going to post tmw morning and tag everyone as its the first day. it will be their reminder :P

haha, I took a photo of this on my phone, just in case I'm not near my computer and I have to do them lol, but 1 more everyday should be ok, it's a good challenge, while the push ups and squats help keep me in shape.

March 5th:

30 x 2 pushups

30 x 2 sit ups (i have to go all the way up, can't do crunches)

30x 2 squats (dems my favorites)

I will be doing this in addition to my work outs in the gym, once i start going back in the morning. House hunting is a bitch, got me staying up way too late at night.
