There's only one theme we can choose for our August challenge, the Olympics.
We're cheering on the British competitors so will share in their success. For every British medal won we will perform 20 reps of an exercise.
Gold Medal : 20 Press Ups
Silver Medal: 20 Sit Ups
Bronze Medal: 20 Star Jumps
If you fall behind don't worry, the Olympics end in mid August so there are a couple fo weeks at the end to catch up.
I'll list the winners every day so when you do a set please post a comment along with who's medal you did.
