300 CALF RAISES!
Here’s how to do them: http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/standing-calf-raises
If this is your second (or more) time doing these, try to beat your previous # by 5 or 10! Be sure to brag when you’re done!
Level 1: From floor
Level 2: Heels hanging off any kind of step
Level 3: Add weights in your hands just hanging at your sides. No weights? Get creative!
DEFINITELY stretch BEFORE, BETWEEN, & AFTER SETS. And if this is your first time doing this exercise, please start at level 1 (you'll still feel the burn).

Done, but the obese-morbidly obese coworkers think I'm funny, not motivational. (I am 188 lbs). Sigh. Doing for me, not them!0
