Thought i should share this challenge.
During these 6 weeks you will have done
• 150 kilometers/93 miles (you can run, swim, walk, ski, snowboard, bike as long as it is 150 km and you move forward)
• 1h of “the plank” (on your knees or toes)
• 500 pushups (on your knees or toes)
• 20 min of holding the “wall squat” position
• A personal challenge of your choice. I am going to refuse elevators for 6 weeks which is going to be a real challenge since my best friend lives on the 8th floor. But she is totally worth it
Another friend of mine (she is the one who challenged me) decided to do 48 sun salutations. That’s two examples – make up your own challenge or steal someone else’s.
Week 1
We’re going to start this week with 5 tests which are going to be repeated in week 6 to see our improvement.
1. Get as far as you possibly can in 30 minutes. You have to choose a way of transportation (no engines of any kind allowed) swimming, walking, jogging, running and so forth and you have to be able to repeat it in 6 weeks time.
2. The plank. Hold the position for as long as you can.
3. Pushups. As many as you can no breaks allowed.
4. Jump squats. As many as you can in one minute.
5. Wall squat. Hold the position for as long as you can. Remember the world record is almost 12h.
Week 2
Continue with the challenge.
Week 3
Continue with the challenge and walk or run 1 kilometer/0.6 miles without breaks every day this week
Week 4
10 hours. This week has to contain 10 hours of movement. Whether it is vacuum cleaning, dancing in the dark, taking the stairs or running a marathon you have to move your precious body.
Week 5
1000 jumps. That’s right. You will during this week do a thousand jumps. That is 143 jumps/day. You can jump around as you please as long as your feet leave the ground.
Week 6
Do the five tests all over again and be happy that you have improved so much. This week you should also try a new way of exercising. Take one you are curious about or take up something you have tried before but for some unexplainable reason never got back to. Have fun!

My personal challenge is to keep going with my couch to 5k. I started week 1 yesterday. Oh man the plank is gonna be the death of me! I hate the plank!!! Haha i'll keep you posted.0 -

This looks good! I've already got a spreadsheet started to keep track of how much I do each day. I'm also doing the C25K in week 6 now. But, I've been neglecting my squats and pushups.
For my personal challenge I'm going to do 2000 crunches - that works out to about 50/day and for the days I skip I'll just have to do more!
Thanks for this challenge!0 -
Now i have done every test except the 30 minutes one. My results so far is
pushups on knees: 9 ( i know - it is embarrassing, but hey - it can only get better)
the plank: 30 seconds
jump squats: 30 in one minute (almost killed me)
wall squat: 22.7 seconds
We can do this!0
