500 Club [June 9th-July 20th]

[T2sarahconnor]

Holding wall squats are just as hard if not harder for me.

Yesterday ( I start on Sundays).

100 counter push ups = 25

30 knee push ups = 15

15 reg push ups ( done with my step son in reps of five)

Total 55

[Xena]

ooh competitive family-style pushups are awesome!

 

Closest I have come is having my cat trying to walk under me in the middle of a set.

 

Back when I was doing the deck of cards workouts, he also thought it was fun to sit on top of the cards.

 

Cat stories are just my excuse for not doing anything yet this week (eek!).

[T2sarahconnor]

I am up to 250. Yesterday was nothing! Lazy day.

Cats sure like to get into some mischief when they can.

[Xena]

hmm...I'm only up to 25...but will do more tonight!!!

[T2sarahconnor]

Okay. Made it to 450 last week. Not bad. Better than a kick in the pants!

This week squats

[Xena]

I only got 218 squats last week, for a variety of reasons. I'll finish them this week. I guess we will be doing squats together!

 

For this week, I'll add that I will spend 500 seconds upside-down. This can include any kind of handstand prep pose (such as legs perpendicular to the wall in an inverted L shape), arm stand, or headstand. I'm not great at any of these, so if I get into the pose, I can count it for a minimum of 30 seconds. I can also count up to 1 minute per day of shoulder stand (much easier for me).

[Xena]

60 squats (up to 278 with the ones from last week).

:23 + :31 + :28s = 82 seconds in handstand-like pose + over a minute in shoulderstand = 142 seconds upside-down

[Xena]

53 squats over the past few days, mostly as part of the "bring Sally up challenge"

Up to 331, Think I can finish it by Sunday night...will be close :-)

[T2sarahconnor]

You can do it! I have to get serious today and tomorrow to make mine. I am only at 250. Who needs to be able to walk.

[Xena]

487 squats and 345 seconds upside-down. Will finish tomorrow for sure. I think next week will by repeats of my hip exercises...gotta total up how many reps are in the full circuit so I can set a reasonable challenge.

[T2sarahconnor]

Need 100 squats today. I am doing in sets of 10 as I do housework.

[Xena]

I copied you today :-)

(I've read on your thread before that you work the squats in with housework)

[T2sarahconnor]

Okay. Late start this week. I have Tues thru Sat to do 500 push ups

[Xena]

Rock on!! I haven't started yet, but I go till Sun. Going to do 500 misc. leg-lift-like hip exercises.

[Xena]

Turns out it's 148 reps to do my full set of hip exercises. Not the hugest "500" challenge, but something good for me that I haven't been doing often enough.

 

148 down :-)

[Xena]

Only up to 296 reps. Will finish this week and will add on 500 seconds of plank. I'm behind in all my challenges...will be quite a week!

[Xena]

Hey Sarah! I've been working on this the past couple days and FINISHED today! Lucky things because I have lots of catching up to do on all my other challenges. Thanks for setting this up. It's definitely inspired me to do some things i wouldn't have otherwise. Hope the rest of your week goes smoothly.

How did I miss this thread?

Are you going to do it again next challenge?

Can I join in the fun?
