The Sally Push-Up Challenge

2/2/2014

Came across a few videos of people using the song "Flowers" by Moby to do challenges involving up and down movements. Most commonly, pushups. The super-hard-core CrossFitters will do squats, often with a bar on their back. Frankly, I think the pushups seem hard enough as it is! The song is pretty long.

Even the guys in the video below start dropping out one by one.

Maybe this will have to be a side challenge for me. Something to work on until the Badass Dash. I've gotten better at pushups and planking, but that really only means that I can do them, from having not been able to do them at all. This? This is several steps up when it comes to power and endurance.

It's a little bit like making the parents in my Baby Time program at the library do the "Grand Old Duke of York" with their babies, walking in a circle and lifting the kids up and down. "When they were up they were up, and when they were down they were down." Except THAT song is a lot less intense. The Duke's got nothin' on Sally.

Ah, but at least you tried! I gave it a shot and lasted about a minute. Guess it's a good challenge because it will take a LOT of practice to make it through the whole song.

    Whose blog, now?

    From the gut, about the gut, trying to listen to what my gut tells me.

    I'm just a girl, fighting the same weight battle as much of the population. Lost 100 lbs, working on the rest, trying to find balance between health, fitness, and vanity. I'm also a librarian who wants to share credible information and reliable resources, in addition to my own musings and reflections, what I call "my writing from the gut."
