Welcome to our
30 Day Super-Duper Hardcore Fitness Challenge
(I just improvised this title. Intense, right?)
How it works:
This past weekend, we each did a
one-mile run, one minute of push-ups and one minute of sit-ups.
one-mile run, one minute of push-ups and one minute of sit-ups.
Over the next month, we'll train to improve our speed and endurance.
30 days from now, we'll repeat all three tests and see how much we've improved.
The rules:
No cheating (largely because it's impossible).
No cheating (largely because it's impossible).
No trash talk (unless it's highly amusing).
No bribing Andrea with pizza or ice cream
so she's too stuffed and lazy to workout.
(Because I would fall for that trick every time.)

The prize:
We've yet to negotiate a prize for the person who
improves the most after 30 days. I've suggested Ryan become my personal
masseusewhen if I win, but he has yet to accept my suggestion,
probably because he's scared I'm going to kick his butt.
And he should be scared.
Because I'm a beast.
(Have you seen these guns?)
Now, excuse me while I go pump some iron or something like that.

"No bribing Andrea with pizza or ice cream". You are so lucky we do not live in the same zip code. Because I always get sucked into pizza and ice cream when it's time to work out. I would totally be bribing you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and hope you win big!
This reminds me of fitness testing for field hockey that we used to do: timed 1 mile (1 min rest), timed 1/2 mile (1 min rest), timed 1/4 mile, followed by minute push up/sit up challenge! We called it the Gauntlet. Good luck in your training!!

Holy crap.... you BOTH did amazing! Way to make this girl feel totally out of shape! Can I blame it on pregnancy?? Yeeeeeah... doesn't really make me feel better about my laziness, ha ha!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I hope you win BIG!
This looks way too intense for me. I'd probably try to trick myself into eating pizza and not working out. Good luck!
