Challenge Week:

3 Team Challenges & 1 Individual Challenge

Disclaimer: Use your best judgment during these workouts. Go at your own pace. If you need to rest, take a break or drink water, do it. It’s o.k. Remember form is always first. Do not sacrifice form for speed. These challenges are not that important, your long term health & safety is. These are fun & challenging workouts that you’ve been prepared for over the last few weeks and are designed to yield maximum results in short periods of time if you’re following the nutrition & cardio plan. You may need additional caloric consumption, water, stretching/rolling, naps and/or rest on these days. Take it, its o.k.

Congratulations to the 6:30pm and the 6am classes for beating the Team Conditioning Challenge. Big Kudos to the 9am class for finishing your conditioning workout together. You could have left, but you saw your teammate still going and you chose to stay and finish together. You may or may not realize it, but you’re building bonds, support circles and friendships while creating positive associations with exercise, changing your body and transforming your life. Powerful stuff. Glad to know you and get to be your coach. J

I haven’t decided what, but I think it’s time for the leaders to get some more specific conditioning programming. The shuttle run challenge will be 1 place I’ll provide a new stimulus for you. If you already do 140 line touches, it will probably go up to around 170. Why? Because your work capacity, anaerobic endurance, mental toughness, muscular endurance/strength/power and recovery ability are all improving. Embrace change, it can reward you.

Congratulations to all classes for handsomely beating the strength challenge. I had told you to shoot for 500 reps per person, hoping you would beat the 400 reps I was expecting and it turns out you averaged 500 reps across the board and 400 was too low. This may be psychology or I may have underestimated your potential, but either way you beat it. J

The Straw Drop Lap Arounds were close in each class. 2.2 straws / minute or 22 straws in 10 minute might be a more fair challenge for next phase.

Congratulations! 3 for 3. All Classes beat the strength challenges. Boo! No classes beat the pyramid or sled push challenges. Let me guess. Your arms were tired from the push ups. J

The 9am did come the closest to beating the pyramid challenge, missing by 0.2 and had the lowest overall +/- per person differential which means they were 2.23 rounds away from matching the team goal I set for them.

I loved baseball cards and statistics as a kid, which should explain my interest in these numbers.
