Twelve Days of Christmas Challenge

[Baltoscott]

December 10

I'm doing a Twelve Days of Christmas Challenge at my gym and thought it would be fun to share with the community.  

It is a cumulative challenge.  Here is how it works.  On the First Day of Christmas, instead of a Partridge in a Pear Tree,  I'll give you an exercise to do.  Not too hard.  On the second day of Christmas, instead of a Partridge in a Pear Tree and Two Turtle Doves, I will give the first exercise, and a second.  On the third day, three exercises, and so on. 

If you miss a day, or see this late and still want to join, you can just double or triple up the missed days with the current day.  For example, if you don't join until day three.  You would do the day one exercise, then the day two exercises, and then the day three exercises all on day three. (You might need to get to a gym for some of these, but a gym isn't required; if a particular exercise is too hard or you don't have available equipment you can substitute something similar, but part of the fun is trying to do them all).

The first day of Christmas is tomorrow, December 11, which is when I will give you the first exercise.  Post here when you finish each day. Lets see how many people we can get on board to sweat a little (just a little) during the last month of 2017!

Ok, will give it a try.

Sounds like a challenge more appropriate for Halloween.  Just saying. 🙂

Exactly! 

I'm thinking I'm with you guys in spirit.  I'll start with one cocktail and increment it by one every day.  By the 6th day, I should be getting fairly merry.

On the First Day of Christmas @Baltoscott gave to me, a one minute plank. 

[MagsOnTheBeach]

Do you plank on your forearms or hands?  Just curious!

[Julia_G]

@Baltoscott, you started with a hard one!  And I guess this means I have got to do a 60 second plank every day for the next 12 days... Yikes! 

(I did mine on my forearms...)

@Julia_G - Right?  See how he is?  Taking a perfectly good holiday and putting pain right in the middle of it.  The Grinch's got nothin' on this guy.

OK @Baltoscott - Here's yer plank:

😂😂😂 @Daves_Not_Here - wish I’d thought of that! Well @Baltoscott - I did my best (= modified plank with elbows... and knees!} for a whole 60 seconds! Whew! 🤪

[Baltoscott]

@MagsOnTheBeach - When I started the challenge with my gym last week I was on forearms, but I went ahead moved to hands today.

@Daves_Not_Here -- that's only a 30 second plank.  You have to do two of 'em.

Day 1, Plank = done. Not sure how I feel about doing this 11 more times. LOL
