October Workout Challenge

You know how fun it is to tell other people what to do?  Well, this month you get points for being bossy!

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get tired of ordering myself around.  Especially because I’m a lousy listener.  So it’s your challenge to order someone else around and make them exercise.  They still may be a lousy listener, but it’ll give you a break from annoying yourself!

There are 3 possible workouts to choose from and each time you force someone else to do one of them, you get a point!

So, torture your spouse, your child, your parent, your brother or sister, roommate or friend… a complete random stranger on the street…

Of course I’m hoping/thinking the person you choose to torture will appropriately seek revenge and likewise torture you back!

Workout #1 – Paper Plates (everyone has these in the house, right?)

• 1 minute alternating sliding reverse lunges (start shallow and go deeper as knee health and/or fitness level allow).
• 1 minute alternating sliding forward lunges.
• 1 minute speed skaters.
• 1 minute sliding push-ups (regular, knee, or wall; start shallow and go deeper as shoulder/wrist health and/or fitness level allow).
• 1 minute running man.
• Repeat as necessary for optimal torture level.

Workout #2 – Resistance Band or Tube (if you don’t have one you should get one)

• 1 minute squat & row
• 1 minute wall band push-ups
• 1 minute side-to-side band X
• 1 minute other side-to-side band X
• 1 minute static lunge and curl
• 1 minute static lunge and curl, switch feet
• Repeat as necessary for optimal torture level

Workout #3 – Dumbbells or Medicine Ball

• Coming soon!

In writing these up, I see that I’m going to need to include demonstration videos.  The exercises are simple, but you might not get what they are from the name.

So, give me one day and I’ll have videos of 3 workouts you can choose from.  But this will give you an idea so you can start planning your attack!
