Today's challenge is: One Legged Calf Raises

Let's see if we can do 100 on each leg for a total of 200.

You have until midnight to get them done.
You can do them all at once or break them into smaller groups.
If you can't do them all then do what you can. The important thing is that you try to do them.
Make sure you stretch and have fun doing them.
Report back when you are done and let us know how you did.
You can log these challenges as "Calisthenics" I hear.

    Would a wii balance board work ok as a stand? It doesn't allow me to drop my heel very low but then neither does my fitness level :laugh:

    Done! I'm glad I decided to look this exercise up after I did the first set of 25 per leg. I was doing them in my living room, balancing on one leg at a time and almost fell over multiple times. The last 3 sets of 25 per leg were much easier since I found out I could hold onto the wall for balance while doing them on the stairs.:laugh:

    Great job yall

    I got all mine done.

    Sorry I thought everyone was familiar with calf raises. You can do them flat footed, on a ledge, weighted or any combination you want.
