July workout challenge 🏋️‍♂️

It’s organised quite regularly depending on the motivation. We would like to motivate as many people as possible and stick but it’s easier said than done. You can search challenge+month. I think we had one almost every month last year if I remember correctly.

Day 18 done! I’m splitting the lunges and crunches in sets, otherwise I lose count and it gets boring. Push-ups 8 reps, little break, and then the other 8 with my legs + body combat at the gym! :boxing_glove: I’m done for today! tomorrow’s forecast again 38C with approx 70% humidity… :roll_eyes:

As Franzi already mentioned there has been a challenge almost every month. But if you are totally motivated, you can also start your own challenge e.g. for August, and we’ll join you! Feel free! :grin:

Day 15 and 16 completed, sprinkled in with some more stacking of wood. I have maybe 30-45 minutes left on this delivery.

You do me wrong to take me out o’ th’ grave.
Thou art a soul in bliss; but I am bound
Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears
Do scald like molten lead.
William Shakespeare, King Lear.

Day 19 done half… I went for a 7K walk (combined with intervals) and once I got home I was soaking wet! I did the push-ups with my feet in 2 sets, and the rest 1/2 of each… That was enough! Still happy I got my ass out there with 35C! I can’t even complain about this challenge, cause I chose it! :face_with_peeking_eye:

Did Day 4 today since I started over! I’ve been all the place each day and mostly just getting outside and giving it my best if not too hot and TIRED! I am feeling stronger though and charged up more days than usual.

Day 17 done at the gym. I did more, but not enough for me to qualify it as a second day. I am really close to getting back on track.

@Jesile - we’re going to institute the “Jenny” rule. - any challenge has to have at least one day off for every 10 on! This is brutal!

Faith, I have been a truant in the law,
And never yet could frame my will to it,
And therefore frame the law unto my will.
William Shakespeare, Henry VI Part I

Day 22 done! :white_check_mark: I did a 9K walk, and in the middle of that I stopped to do the exercises out in the woods where nobody can see me, I hope… :sweat_smile: I did change some of the 100 something squats for triceps dips and abdominal exercises, otherwise it just gets never ending! Push-ups done with my feet in 2 sets, so I’m improving with that! :call_me_hand:t2:
