Indoor workout challenge

Well, due the weather it was time to go inside and get a good old fashion workout under their belts. Some of them have been doing that and some of them have been thinking that they had been doing it. This challenge took the meaning a full body workout to another level. Every discipline was done for 10 minutes. Those disciplines where, Olympic Bench, Lat Pull down, Bend over rows, Steps, Outside running, and biking.


With the Olympic Bench men could choose their lift to be anywhere from 95 pounds to 135 pounds, but once that decision was made and one repetition was done it could not be changed for the whole 10 minutes. With the ladies their range was from 45 pounds to 65 pounds.


With the Lat Pull Down the men had a range of 70 to 100 pounds to choose from and the women 40 to 70 pounds.


With the Bend Over Rows the weight range for men was 95 to 135 and women 45 to 65.

With the outside run/walk, yes it was slippery but no excuses, they needed to go outside for ten minutes and run from cone to cone. Seven laps equaled a mile and each full lap was up and back.

Some people had leg issues but this did not stop them from completing the task and they were rewarded for doing so. At the end of the day this lady in two weeks lost 13 pounds, bad ACL and all.

10 minutes of step at a high speed.
Now I broke each team down into smaller units of 2. The way you win this challenge is by accumulating the most points in all disciplines combined. The winner was Darcy and Steve Good job to all.
