Workout Crawl

By: SamNotSammy

Many of you may be stuck inside this month, but that’s no reason not to flex your muscles, both creative and physical. This word crawl combines both, for the ultimate writing experience. There are two ways to do this crawl: either do the exercises suggested by each step and do the writing, or just do the writing.

Start with a warmup. Write for 5 minutes. Do some jumping jacks if you’re feeling it.

Don’t forget to stretch. Take your total from the five minute warmup and stretch yourself by trying to beat that total.

Cardio is vital! Get your heart pumping by writing an exciting scene. Write 300 words as fast as you can.

You’re getting stronger already. Do some push-ups to improve your upper body strength. Either count how many push-ups you can do in a minute or roll a die. Multiply that number by 100 and write that many words.

Really push yourself and dig deep. Attempt a 50-headed hydra. If you succeed, pat yourself on the back and write 200 more words. If you don’t hit 500, write another 500 words as training for next time.

Dance aerobics are a fun way to get yourself moving! Put on your favorite song to dance to and sprint to the end!

Don’t forget about your core. Write for 20 minutes and do an abs circuit

Do some squats. Strengthen your word total with 300 more words.

Challenge a friend to a race! Do a 10 minute word war against someone. If you win, write 150 words. If you lose, write 450.

Cool down with a brisk walk. Write 300 words.
