The Great Push-Up Dare:11/11- 11 /30

The Great Push Up Dare

@x Valkyrie x  is trying to earn  charisma and bravery points, and embrace the weird (https://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/09/20/embrace-the-weird/) by boldly doing pushups at the airport. In a sedentary world, it can take superhuman feats of bravery to step forth and do exercise while the rest of the world sits. In order to encourage one another  to show the world movement is good, we have challenged each other to the Great Push- Up Dare. Valkyrie will perform pushups at the airport , and I will choose another public place, such as my front yard to do push ups. Do you want to take the challenge with us? Simply  choose a public place, where you are likely to be seen by others and do any progression of push-ups. Or choose another exercise if you want.The main point of the challenge is for us to step out of our comfort zone and  exercise in a place  other than a gym or our garage.

 

To play : 

Do pushups (or other exercise) in a non traditional setting and then tell us about it. Video are fun, but not necessary. Bonus points if someone actually notices you

Thanks for setting this up, EG! We shall overrun the earth with our pushups!!

Hey there! I'm a big fan of airport pushups. I'll do some on my Thanksgiving travel next week :-)

Probably won't have photos, but I'll let you know if I have any funny stories to share!

Woot!

Did mine on the sidewalk in front of the sidewalk of the junior high. There were teenagers milling about, but I don't think any of them paid attention to the strange lady doing pushups on the sidewalk.

Ok @x Valkyrie x your turn.

Alright, they'll be done on my layover at O'Hare in approximately 14 hours!

Ok, 20 squats done at my gate! people cared not, and no one even stared at me! (I couldn't find an empty chair to do elevated pushups with, so I squatted instead)
