L-sit follow up:  I did complete the dare!  Yesterday I was able to hold myself up for 30 seconds with my feet on the ground but when I tried with raised feet as the photo indicated I could only hold it a second so I thought the dare didn't count but...  check out the PS

 

Daily Dare - July 4, 2016: 30 Seconds L-Sit
Sit down on the floor, legs stretched in front of you. Raise yourself off the floor - as much as you can and hold it for 30 seconds in total; split into manageable sets.

Extra Credit non-stop

P.S. Feet on the floor will count (but not with EC)

 

As the rocket's red glare and bombs bursting in air, I went to the sheet and added the dare (with no EC).  Happy 4th for me!!

 

Today I completed the shrimp squats with EC and lots of pain.  Yesterday morning I ran the stairs at Stadium High School in Tacoma (training for Unleashed) and oh man, I am still very sore.  But look, so pretty!!

Do we go to the 7th or the 9th?  This thread says to the 7th but the official challenge goes through to the 9th.  so maybe a typo??

 

Back when they first set up the forums this challenge, they had the end date listed as June 7th, which didn't make a lot of sense at the time. It looks like they've updated it to say June 9th, so we're good to go through then :)

dare completed with ec.  son asked what I was doing and i said spiderman push ups and he said it looked more like a peeing dog.  I was like "I'm in a plank!  I am also pushing - do you see???  a peeing dog does not push down while raising the leg!"  anyway.  luckily his comments came at the end because I started laughing which made it that much harder.

Knee to elbow crunches done with EC. Top tip, don't make the mistake of thinking speed is the answer to getting them over with, you will end up misjudging your coordination and get a knee in your face...
