Third Challenge here on the forums first with the Assassins. The reason for the titlle is that Rock Lee is my favorite Naruto character and I find his story extremely inspiring.Now on to the goals Goal One A Shinobe has to be physically fit in order to carry out his missions. For this constent training is required. My goal for this challenge is to do something active every day exept Sundays. This can range from something as simple as a walk to a knock down drag out multi hour workout. Some sub goals I would like to reach are Three strength workouts each week with a focas on body weight Three cardio workouts per week Atleast one hour of martial arts practice per week Be able to do one arm pushups by the end of the challenge Be able to do one of my favorite bodyweight circuits 10 times through with no rest Be able to run for 20 minutes straight. Goal Two It is never known what a mission will entitle thus one must train for great muscular endurance as well as strength. This goal is to try to do 500 reps of a bodyweight exercise in a single workout over the fewest sets possible. The rough schedule for this is Week One. Squats Week Two. Pushups Week Three. Situps Week Four. Bench Dips(My triceps are my weakest body part thus I'm training them here) Week Five. Lunges(My triceps are followed closely by my legs) Week Six. Pullups(These are last because I have the most work to do on them) Goal Three With all the training and fighting a ninja needs to make sure his body is properly fueled. I'm going to try counting calories and hopefully be a bit more consistent with my eating habits since in my last challenge I would eat anywhere from 500(I forget to eat if I'm wrapped up in something) to probably over 10,000(It was my grandparants anniversary, we took them out to Golden Corral). Life Goal It's imperative that one be able to blend in and communicate wherever one may be. Learn two new words in Spanish every day. So thats my Rock Lee challenge. I'll post scoring and all later including a rough schedule. I've decided that if I score 90% or higher on all goals that I'll change my name on the forum since I've had some people tell me that my current one is hard to pronounce.

This group is for those interested in bodyweight strength training. Beginners especially! And all the more love for my fellow ladies looking to get strong. (But if you've got experience, and/or are a boy and want to hang out here, by all means, come be our ring leader.) This will be a place where we can support each other as we begin, or continue, our journeys to become stronger, more balanced adventurers. While adding weights to typical bodyweight moves is welcome, mostly this will focus on the standard beginnings of workouts that are dumbbell and barbell free. So if you're looking for a group to help ya get started with, or stick to the bodyweight regime, please join up and make yourselves at home! Post with your name and a link to your challenge. You might be asking - why Train Like Rock Lee? (Because I am a hopeless Naruto addict, and I have always admired Rock Lee's tenacity to train) Here's a great quote that will show you what I mean: "Our motto on our hard days of training is 'To be stronger than yesterday'. If I have to I’ll be stronger than a half day ago, even a minute ago!" And this came from the ninja who had no skill or talent for typical ninjutsu. He simply focused on training and putting in hard work and, often his methods were simple calisthenics and body weight type workouts. Definitely seemed like the ninja to model our group after.
