Need a new challenge

[draconis]

As I mentioned elsejournal, my guys and I are just about to finish up our 100 Pushup Challenge.

Well... now they want a new one! LOL

I think I'm going to give the a list of options, and ask for their ideas, then let everyone vote on which one(s) they want to do, and the one with the most votes wins.

So I'm asking you, great hive-mind, for ideas!

Some of the ones I've come up with so far are:

• X chinups


• Run X distance


• Walk X distance (time may become a factor on this one, to do as a group for any appreciable distance)


• X "dog kicks" (on all fours, raise one leg like a dog at a hydrant, extend and retract the leg X times, then set down)


• stance training -- hold stances for X time

Other suggestions, anyone?

situps? handstands? starjumps? hurdles? ::amused:: channeling the playground - X cartwheels? X trees climbed? stairs climbed (got any really tall buildings in Memphis who'll let you at their stairwells?)

congrats to all of you, though!

I considered situps, but we've already built up to 2 minutes of an abdominal exercise we call chinese situps.

What are starjumps?

[tarshaan]

starjumps are those things where you stand with legs together and arms down by your side, and you jump and spread the legs out to the side for landing, and the arms out to the side and up over your head? Then back to start, etc. Um, otherwise known as jumping jacks, or... i don't know what else.

google gives me this youtube video of iraqi police doing 'em. The guys at front have it down, the police opposite 'em not so much... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6p1nn1CuZs
