Xena Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Glad you added yourself Angie_Phoenix! I fell off my paddleboard yesterday and hurt my back. Hoping it will be ok in a couple days, but I need a break from DD...especially the core-intensive ones. DIdn't do yesterday's and can't do today's. I'm pretty confident that I could normally do these...but there's only one way to prove it. I'm going to save them up and do them when I'm feeling better. Won't count for the PvP of course, but I'll count it for "Xena points". As long as I'm at it, I guess I could make another run at the EC on the 3 min arm swings and the 30 squat jumps. 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
Angie_Phoenix Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 body stuff that adds extra challenge to the challenge is always hard, good for you on saving them up. I'll run into some that stress my knees that I'll have to modify dramatically (to the point where I won't be able to say I did them). I did today's with extra credit which was also an extra challenge because my puppy thought I was on the floor to play with her and hopped over and around me as I did them. 2 Quote Link to comment

I hope your back gets better fast. Saving them up is a really great idea. 5 minutes ago, Angie_Phoenix said: I did today's with extra credit which was also an extra challenge because my puppy thought I was on the floor to play with her and hopped over and around me as I did them. My cats will do this all the time when I'm doing planks. Here I am trying not collapse on the floor, and there's a cat rubbing all up against my face. One time the boy cat even jumped on my back! Did today's with EC. 2 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
Angie_Phoenix Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Did today's with EC. It felt awkward I'm not 100% sure I did it right??? Quote Link to comment
RocketbikeNinja Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I hAte squats and lunges. I do them, but I hate them.

Angie_Phoenix Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 yesterday's and today's both involve parts of my body I have issues with. I have bad knees so squats and lunges are something I seldom do. I have to be in both a mental and physical place where I can keep my form perfect. I'm recovering from a shoulder injury and while I usually can do push ups, for now they are out. I'm away Friday-Sunday and will be very physically active but be limited in both internet and general discretionary time. i'll aim to be back Monday. Quote Link to comment
zeroh13 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I did the lunges yesterday, no EC. I just added extra lunges to my workout. I can't do push-ups, so skipping today. 1 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
RocketbikeNinja Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Push-ups done with EC. Heading on a vacation tomorrow, so I may be out of communication for a couple of days...

zeroh13 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I did the cross reach sit-ups yesterday, with EC. And the reverse plank kicks today, with EC. 1 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 If y'all don't mind, I might add myself to this thing tomorrow for the last 2 weeks of the challenge. Seems like a cool way to add just another dash of activity to my days Can't say I'll do it every day, but I think 3-5 times during the week? 3 Quote Link to comment

I wasn't expecting it to be much of a work out, but I really started feeling it a minute in. 2 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Clench/unclench achieved. I figured it would be surprisingly easy or exactly as hard as I expected. It was exactly as hard as I expected No EC for me! 2 sets of 1 minute each. When I was done I felt like my forearms had grown an inch! I could probably benefit from doing the clench/unclench (even without raising them above the head) on a regular basis to give my hands more full expression 2 Quote Link to comment
Xena Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Everyone is doing so well!!! I'm back! Did clench-unclench with no EC. Made it through the first minute ok, and then it got ugly after that. I'm starting to work on my backlog as well. I missed 7 dares while injured, so I'm going to try two a day until I'm caught up. The make-up dares don't count on the spreadsheet (of course), but for my own goals, I'll let myself try one extra dare each day over the next week. AND after that, I'm going to give myself a second chance at the EC on three hard dares (again, just for my own goals, not on the spreadsheet). My back is still sore, so I might have to scale some things. Scaling doesn't count for points (either on the spreadsheet or my own special scoring), but I'll make some kind of effort at each dare. So today I did the 50 Plank Knee-to-Elbows with EC. That brings my "Xena points" total to 26. 2 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment

tourennatrix Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Elbow planks done after my run this morning. I realized as I was getting ready to do them that I did not have access to my yoga mat- woops! I had to use a comforter instead (because the alternative was sweaty arms and elbows on hard-wood floor-yowch. 2 Quote Link to comment

RocketbikeNinja Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 And started off today with 100 side kicks done with EC. A tip: if you're right handed, start out on your left leg: it should be your worse balance leg. That way, if you lose balance, you'll have only done 0-50 instead of 50-100 before starting over. 1 Quote Current Big Fat Hairy Goals: Hip to Waist Ratio down to 88%.

tourennatrix Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I did my 100 side kicks... immediately after doing day 1 of the DB Combat HIIT program (circuits of side kick/punches/turning kick). ALL THE KICKS. And EC 2 Quote Link to comment
Xena Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yesterday: Elbow plank with no EC. Only made it until about 1:11 Today: Side kicks with EC...but it took me 2 full tries (so 200 kicks for me) Make up dares: Yesterday: had to scale the butterfly sit-ups to crunches (so no "personal points") Today: Scorpion twists with EC.

RocketbikeNinja Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Seagulls done with EC.

zeroh13 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Glute flexes, these felt a bit awkward for me, and I'm not 100% sure I did them right. I wasn't able to raise my butt without first lifting my legs, so I have a feeling that I didn't use the right muscles... Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
