Thursday = 200 (you heard right!) calf raises! If 200 sounds easy to you then I suggest you add 100 ![;) ;)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/wink.png)
You can do them free standing on the floor (level 1) heels hanging off a step of any kind (level 2) or either of those with weights in your hands (level 3). Some people might get fancy and do one leg at a time.
Sets of 10 or 20 work well.
***************************************************************************************************************************
VERY IMPORTANT to stretch out both before and after, You will be so sorry if you don't = cramps/stiffness.
***************************************************************************************************************************
You should be able to fit these in anywhere/anytime! Just have them done by midnight!
If the amount is too much/little, just do as many as you can and report back what you did.

All mini challenges can be logged as strength training if done throughout the day spread way out or calisthenics if done in just a few sets.
Who's up for it?
