Reason: Because I need to take my baseline of fitness on bodyweight exercises for future comparisons NOW
Even though this Output Challenge will not take me 10 days, it will take me 1 unpleasant day/hour. I would like to give myself adequate rest in between each exercise, and I know throwing my body at the ground for a solid minute for my burpees will take a little working up to. The exercises that I will be testing myself on are listed below, and can also be found with my goals, and benchmark numbers.
The Movements are max reps of:
1. Push-ups (consecutive)
2. Pull-ups (without coming off the bar)
3. Sit-ups (in 2 min)
4. Squats/Pistols (without stopping)
5. Burpees (1 min)
6. Dips (without coming off the bars)
I will alternate movements to make sure I am not tiring out one muscle group or part of my body too much; this will be helped by the fact that my dips and pull-ups will need to happen at Crossfit on Friday because I do not have the equipment for those in my house!
Goal for this Output Challenge:
1. To meet all of the Level I benchmarks for all 6 movements
Get your benchmarks and test yourselves! Push-ups, sit-ups, and squats can be done anywhere. If you are looking to try something new or want to see a movement done again, check out my Beginner's Guide for great websites to reference. Beat me, and post your numbers!!
