Infinity.Creates Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Done with EC! I didn't manage to make it yesterday because I spontaneously decided to go to a maths lecture with some classmates and didn't get home till 10, and had to finish some work before crashing. But back up to speed now! 2 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Arm extension done with ec. This hurt because of aforementioned need for a massage, but I did it 2 Quote Link to comment
Infinity.Creates Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Crunch kicks done with EC! Honestly, I'm doing a lot better at this than I thought I would. Should I upgrade to trying to get a silver? 3 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment

They've been going a little easy on us lately. For those new to the Daily Dare...have no fear, there will be some harder ones :-) 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
Infinity.Creates Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Done the kicks with EC! The last ten of each were hard, but trying to support myself on a leg which had just done the kicks was harder. It was a toss up of doing them before or after my 5K run today. I decided to do them before as part of the warm up. NOT recommended. My legs got really tight into the 2nd mile. Lesson learned. And if this is a little easy, I'm officially scared 3 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment

THe And if this is a little easy, I'm officially scared Done with EC. I thought this would be really easy, but like POM says, they did get pretty tough toward the end. I did mine before a run, but not a race. Props to you! Tomorrow looks kind of hard. I don't think I can do that many in a row, but I'm not really sure. We think the day is 20 down dogs into 20 up dogs, right?? Guessing no EC for me tomorrow. 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
zeroh13 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I almost completely forgot about the knee strikes, but then I saw this thread. Done, with EC. Tomorrow, yeah, I believe you would count each down dog into up dog as one rep. A combo move or whatever they call it. 1 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Crunch kicks done with EC. hoping to get the knee strikes done soon, i keep forgetting and now i'm eating, so i have to wait a bit Tomorrow... I'm sure I'm missing something, but it just looks easy. too easy. Deceptively easy? Probably. I'm planning on taking it on after my ab workout in the morning, should be a nice stretch (Just watch I'll be just DEAD afterwards XD ) 1 Quote Link to comment
zeroh13 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Did the downward upward dogs with EC. I found this dare to be more awkward than hard. Or maybe technically challenging would be a good way to put it. Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
Infinity.Creates Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Agreed with the technical difficulty, which I think made it more physically difficult that it might have been. Also a lot harder in the core and the arms than I thought it would have been. The last five were a kicker, but I NEED THE POINTS (basically competition makes me so enthusiastic). 3 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Knee strikes and down/up dog done with ec My arms are deaded. But for me the hardest part was breathing. It should have been pretty simple to get the breathing right, but I had both positions feeling like "exhale" positions so i couldn't figure out where ro inhale XD also I kept almoat messing up my counting since it's a two-step move 1 Quote Link to comment

Finisterre Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Upward/downward down dogs done! No EC, buuuut I did do the whole thing on one leg!

In a sun salutation, you would usually pass through low plank on your way to upward dog. Without doing that it was manageable for me. And as a bonus, upward dog felt GREAT on my back. 2 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment

Xena Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 5 min done with EC. Right after I finished I thought, "wow, I don't want to do that again anytime soon." Memory has faded a bit, and now it seems like it was kind of fun. Bad memories are a good thing sometimes :-) 3 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
tourennatrix Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I did the bouncing. Hated it but I did it 1 Quote Link to comment
zeroh13 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Yeah, can we not do the bouncing again? Or really anything that's not do X for 5 minutes? I'm okay with 2 or 3 minutes, but 5 is just too long. Did it with EC yesterday. And did the squat step thing this morning, no EC. Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment
