Ranger Hal Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 I discovered Darebee challenges and got all excited, so I’m probably going to do too many things. We’ll see how this goes. Hopefully I don't just stop doing things after a couple of weeks. I'd really like to make it all the way through this challenge. The Darebee challenges are 30 days, but I’m going to modify and do them only on weekdays, so 30 days will last six weeks and that will run through the end of the challenge if I start right now. I’m going to try getting my daily walk at lunch. To that end, I have packed some good shoes and my rain gear (and some extra dry socks) for tomorrow. Let’s do this!

The chair rows were difficult. Maybe because the bar didn't want to stay on the chairs and maybe because I can't do very many. Maybe both. 1 Quote Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, Current Walk to Mordor: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 Link to comment

Snarkyfishguts Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I really enjoyed Raya and the Last Dragon. It was neat! I confess I have watched Encanto, like, a LOT. Luisa is my favorite. you are off to a great start! 1 Quote Link to comment
Artemis Prime Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I thought Rays and the Last Dragon was fun, but I have to confess that Encanto did not leave as deep an impression on me as it seems to have with pretty much everyone else. I did, however, watch it with my nieces/nephews in a chaotic house while trying to complete a job application, so it really didn't have my full attention. 48 minutes ago, Snarkyfishguts said: Luisa is my favorite.

Ranger Hal Posted June 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I thought Isabella was super annoying at the beginning, but I loved what happened with her later.

Rookie Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Dang you are killing it! I love looking at darebee workouts haha I rarely keep up with them. I did do one of the kettlebell ones a few times though. I enjoyed Encanto but I wouldn't watch it again probably. I found it hard to understand what they were saying all the time or in the songs.

Chesire Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Haven't slid into one of your challenges in a while. Hi! What a lovely wall of green last week! I also started adapting DB plans to suit myself, either switching out their cardio days to running or adding in more rest days than the plan originally calls for. It's been working well for the times I don't feel like designing my own plan. 2 Quote daily dare 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment
