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.

    As an exra incentive, I'll hold a free group personal training session for everyone that completes the challenge (not compulsory!) I'll try to choose a convenient time & location for the majority of you. Just update regularly so we know how you are progressing.

    I'll update the medals won so far on the 1st August so we can get started.
