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... No, that sounds right. You're trying to get your thighs off the ground, then your hips. Did mine with ec, discovered i have a bony pelvis x_x 1 Quote Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 This'll be my first missed dare, I'm afraid. Can't even do a regular strict push up and don't want to reinjure my shoulder trying 1 Quote Link to comment

Xena Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Since my last post...(Wed) Seagulls with EC (you were right RBN...the video was clutch on that one). Thurs: No points. Couldn't do the glute flex at all. Not sure why not. Scaled it to one leg at a time 2x10 each Fri: 20 Dragon pushups but no EC. Wasn't 100% "chest to the deck", but think my range was legit. Sat: Skipped the side leg raises Today: Side splits with EC. Not very deep, but as deep as I could go. 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Skipped leg raises simply because I...forgot? Road tripping all day will do that to a girl. So will getting kicked in the head. Oops? Today I did side splits with ec. I think it strained the outer edge of my feet more than anything else XD (though yes, I was as low as I could go without causing pain). I like it when the timed ones can be done easier with singing along to a song or two 1 Quote Link to comment
RocketbikeNinja Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Got the dragon push ups, but this weekend I ran a tough mudder (my third). So I missed leg raises and side splits... My fitbit says I climbed the equivalent of 430 flights of stairs yesterday, but I did the knee highs with EC.

zeroh13 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 I did the side leg raises, the side splits, and the knee highs, on their respective days, with EC. And I was the same with the side splits, I couldn't go down very far, but I went as far as I could. And then my feet started slowly sliding, so I was a just a bit lower at the end. 1 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Skipped high knees because i couldn't figure out how to squeeze that little bit of torture into my day, between already going for a run, not wanting to anger the downstairs neighbor, and crazy leg intense class in the evening. Today I did my 40reverse crunches in one go after i finished 3 circuits of an ab HIIT (also darebee). I'm gonna be feeling that later... 1 Quote Link to comment
RocketbikeNinja Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Reverse. Run he's done with EC. Interesting movement...

zeroh13 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I did the reverse crunches yesterday, Ec. I used to do these years ago when I got bored of regular crunches. Though at the time I didn't know it was an actual legitimate move. Did the back fists today, EC. Counting to 100 is so tedious. When it's a high number of reps, I much prefer "do as many as you can in X minutes". 1 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment

I like it when the timed ones can be done easier with singing along to a song or two I've developed a weird little DD habit. I like to play "Flower" by Moby. If you don't know it, it's a really repetitive song ("Bring Sally up, Bring sally down, lift and squat gotta tear the ground" that lots of people have jumped onto for various exercise challenges (mostly poses you would hold in an up or down position, like squats or pushups). Anyway the song makes me smile. On 9/12/2016 at 4:56 PM, zeroh13 said: I did the side leg raises, the side splits, and the knee highs, on their respective days, with EC.

Don't think I could have done it otherwise because of the sliding. M: High knees done, but no EC. That was harder than I thought it would be T/W: Reverse crunches and back punches done with EC. 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I did punchy thing with ec! My trick for counting to high numbers: count to lower numbers multiple times. Probably a carryover from reading music and counting dollars 1 Quote Link to comment
RocketbikeNinja Posted September 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 So... tomorrow is the last day. Push push push! And I won't be ringmaster for the next round. I'm doing a bit of a digital detox for a bit. So if anyone is interested in running Round 6, just let me know. 1 Quote Current Big Fat Hairy Goals: Hip to Waist Ratio down to 88%.

tourennatrix Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Climber taps and supermans done with ec. I've found that pretty consistently through this whole thing, everything is more or less "easy" until exactly the half way point, then it steadily starts feeling more and more like death until it's done 1 Quote Link to comment

And once it's done, you just collapse into a heap. I did the climber taps yesterday, no EC. And the supermans this morning, with EC. Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine!

Xena Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi Guys...I'll admit, I just gave up on this a couple days before the end. Not quite sure what my problem was, but got overwhelmed with various things. I'll be happy to set up a new thread...it should start today! Right??? 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
