25 day fitness challenge from Carilion wellness

Here’s a really cool 25 day fitness challenge that my local area gym posted earlier this month on Facebook. I’ve been following it since day 2 when I found it online.

You start off with day 1. And then on day 2; you do days 2 and then 1 assignments. And then on day 3; you do days 3, 2 and 1 assignments. Make sense? So by day 25 you will be doing ALOT which you’re adding on every day! (Obviously since I’m not a member of the gym I do not get any compensation or reward for completing this challenge. I’m just doing it for fun)

This morning I did day 10, so I did all 10 days worth of assignments which was: 30 second plank, two minutes of jogging, three pull-ups, (4) 15 second wall sit, five reverse crunches, six lunge jumps per leg, seven slams, eight burpees, nine star jumps and ten push-ups.

I hate burpees and those along with the star jumps are really hard with my asthma, but when you look at it as just doing a couple-literally eight or nine it’s possible to do and I’ve done it! You can too!!!

It took me about 10 mins and I usually add it to the beginning or end of my regular workout that day.

I don’t have a slam ball so I just mimic the movements and it still seems to be effective with keeping my heart rate up!

So why am I doing another mini challenge when I’m already doing other workouts??

First because it sounded like fun!

Second because I want to work on different types of strength training to get me ready for my #ninjachallenge in the spring.

This morning I decided to do something crazy and instead of doing a 30 Second plank, I decided to hold it as long as possible. I lasted 1:46 which I was really pleased with! My core is getting stronger!

What do you think of this 25 day challenge? Is it something you would enjoy doing in addition to your regular workouts?
