Well shyt. @fit-physicist is over there racking up points and I’m over here laying in bed.

For every heart I get on this post, I’ll do a set of pushups, sumo squats, or lunges.

My Fav 3 Challenge - Week 3

Shout out to @ottergirl-fitness for hosting this challenge! Week 2 was incredibly fun, but you guys didn’t make it easy to win :’) @shapeyoursmile and I made our choices and these will be the exercises for next week. 

Planks (Min. 250 seconds)

Modifications: Just like with push-ups, use your knees instead or put your elbows on an inclined position (bed, chair, table)

Reverse Snow Angels (Min. 75 reps)

Lie down with your arms on your sides. Put your head on a small towel (or hold it up), lift your arms and retract your shoulder blades. Slowly move your arms to the front of your head and then go back. Your arms shouldn’t touch the ground at any time, your shoulderblades should be retracted. One way should be around 2 seconds, so 4s for a rep. Watch this video for more instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwm7QgLllSA

Modifications if you have shoulder problems could be: don’t raise your arms as high, vary the angle of your arms/elbows. Or if that doesn’t do it you can do it standing/sitting bent over at an 20, 30,… angle to the ground. 

Standing Oblique Bends (Min. 100 reps)

Stand with your knees slightly bent, feet hip-width apart, hands behind your head. Shift your weight to your left leg, crunch to the right side and bring your right knee up towards your elbow. Return to starting position, repeat with other leg. This is one rep. To exclude any confusions when counting: One rep includes both sides.

Modifications: I have no idea. Don’t raise your knee as high?

You all did great! Good luck with this week :)

I went climbing on my own today for the first time in.. a month? Which is funny because before that, I was pretty much always climbing alone. Unlike running, I prefer climbing in company, but today it was actually nice to be on my own. There were quite a few new problems in the lower one of the two grades I currently climb, so I decided to do all the problems of that grade in the gym for some volume. I sent all of them except two! And one of them I can technically do, but the first hold is quite high up and I can't jump up to it yet lol. It was a lot of fun 😊 I worked some challenge exercises into my warm up: 50 sec wall sit 100 calf raises I was going to do more after my climb, but I hurt my neck in a headstand and decided to not test my luck, so I left. I'm home now and it still hurts a bit, but I think it will be fine by tomorrow. @less-flower good job on your workout today too 😊

MyFav3Challenge Bandwagon

Ok I am on too, why not!  For every like I will do 5 of each of the sumo squats, push ups and 5 each side of the lunges.  

Come on folks, let’s see how bad this will get!

I couldn't sleep (no, not because I'm waiting for Santa 🎅), so I started my day with a round of cosy yoga 😊. Also did sets of 20 of the new challenge exercises. Now I've showered and am having a cup of tea, waiting for my parents to get up.

Wine-y Bitches rep totals ✨

Calf Raises - 450

Wall Sits - 700

Skaters Slides - 450

@teachsnackfitness caught an illness this week so I tried to pull her part, but she usually outdoes me anyways 😂.

My first attempt at push-ups. Omg I suck so hard guys. First 21 were done unmodified but probably with poor form. I’m going to attempt to do 25 every day- whatever can’t be done unmodified will be done on knees. If anyone wants to throw some form advice at me, please go for it.

I know the five day challenge is over but I just need everyone to appreciate the fact that I did planks on a hospital floor. I wore a sports bra under business clothes and put a blanket on the damn floor. lol
