Xena Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hi All! Xena here again.... Round 8 of our PVP using the Daily Dares at Darebee.com has begun! All are welcome. Every day, they post a bodyweight exercise challenge no equipment needed, every day. Sometimes they're easy, sometimes they're not. Every day there are two levels of difficulty. 1) just get it done, over the course of the day, and 2) Extra Credit (EC,) which usually means all in one shot. Either do one or the other. You get either 1 or 2 points per day, no more. Miss the day (in your time zone) and you miss the points. Need a variation? Not a problem, but no points for you. This is an open PVP, so anyone can join at any time. It's a great way to try out a bunch of different bodyweight exercises, and after 2 times through, I've personally found a bunch of new exercises based on what's been really hard. If you decide to join, declare what rank you're aiming for and sign up on this spreadsheet. Then, just keep track of how many dares you complete throughout the challenge. If you're not sure about what counts for the dare or extra credit, post here and we'll rule by what seems to make sense to the most of us. Some days you might not be able to do an exercise, and that's ok! If you like, try modifying or scaling the dare to something you can do. I've added a new column where you can keep track of dares you've modified and completed. The modified dares don't "count' toward "official" totals, but we can still reward you with creative titles if you like. Sometimes Darebee likes to be cute and offer extra extra credit. That's cool...go for it, we'll all be impressed. Let's keep it simple and leave those out of our calculations. The person with the most points at the end of the challenge will be declared the Daredevil! (other titles are available, inquire within.) Leaderboard Round 7: Xena (59 points) Round 6: Xena (54 points) Round 5: Zeroh (48 points) Round 4: Rocketbikeninja (62 points) Round 3 (Tie): Rocketbikeninja and mom2sjm (64 points) Round 2: Rocketbikeninja (67 points) - May 2016 Challenge Round 1: Geek On Fire (53 points) - April 2016 Challenge Ranks Titanium: 60 points (30 days of dares + 30 days of extra credit) Gold: 45 points Silver: 30 points Bronze: 15 points Custom: A custom goal of your choice. Just make sure to state your specific target in the spreadsheet. We're starting the PVP in Week 0, but you should be able to achieve all but the highest of these ranks even if you don't join us until Week 1. 3 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment

I get up to workout at 5ish Eastern, so would be great if this was up by then so I could incorporate it.

Thank you cadets and circuit training. Sit ups with EC, but keeping the arms up was haaaaaard. Those situps did get kind of hard for me toward the end. Low kicks with EC. I was surprised to feel it a bit in the quad of my non-kicking (plant?) leg. Looking forward to trying the planks tomorrow.

Xena Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I did them, but no EC. They made me a tiny bit nervous because I wasn't sure I really had the strength to do the movement safely. I'm not sure if I've seen them do regular pushups, but some of the variations aren't that hard. I got scared off the one-legged pushups in the past, but they are about the same as regular. Also some of the variations where you pull your knee in toward the elbow aren't too bad. Lunges on the other hand hurt like a (....well hurt pretty bad....), but were fully doable with EC.
