A Friendly Competition - Who's In?

It all started with Brad's post last week.  This guy did a 5 minute plank.  INCREDIBLE!


You can do this challenge just about anywhere!


Then this conversation started on twitter with my pal Michelle at Average Girls Doing Average Things.
 


And there you have it, we have a challenge!  And I love a challenge.


The Challenge?  See how long you can plank, wall sit and how many wall sits you can do from TODAY until August 31st.  It's only 18 days.  Let's see what personal progress you can make!


Michelle is going to kick my butt with the push ups, but I might be able to kick some butt with the planks.  I'm going to do my first round of wall sits today, so I don't know how that's going to go.  We'll see!

plank #2

You don't need any fancy equipment for this either.  I've been timing with my non-smart phone and non-Instagram.  I just time it, and if my camera is close by - I take a picture of it.  If it isn't, then I just write it down on paper.  High tech, I know.   But if you do have a smart phone with your fancy Instagram, go ahead & capture your progress with it.

Michelle added in the wall sits after I made this - 
so I'll be amending my fancy chart here!

Details - Do your planks, pushups, and wall sits everyday and record it somehow.  Post below to let me know you are in on the challenge.  

Challenge starts TODAY and ends August 31st.  What are you waiting for?  

On September 1st, email me your results at runningwiththegirls at gmail dot com.  Don't worry, I'll post reminders.  If you want to get in on some twitter action - I'd love that too!  Just tweet when you've done your planking, pushups and/or wall sits to @runningwtg and @ltlindian.  

On September 2nd, I'll randomly choose 3 participants for a pair of Sweat Pink shoelaces.  No worries, guys.  If I get some male participants, I have backup prizes.  


I know you are in.  Post below to let me know you are going to join in on the challenge!

  5. I love me a friendly challenge! I'm in with one of those fancy charts that I'll take a picture of with my non-fancy camera, hook up to the non-fancy computer, and post my results. Or maybe I'll just tell Ian that I NEED a smartphone to do this challenge. Good reason, right?
