Hello my friends,
Last year my friend Curb Ivanic (running buddy and personal trainer) had mentioned he was doing a '1000 rep challenge'.
I asked "what is that?"
He said "it's a bunch of bodyweight exercises that you do as quickly as you can. You can't move onto the next exercise till your done."
I thought if Curb is doing this it must be pretty tough so I asked him "What are the exercises?"
This is the A4K 1000 rep challenge!
100 Jumping jacks/jump rope
25 Close-grip push-ups
25 Jumps
25 Pull-ups
100 Squats
25 Stickups
50 Bicycle crunches
100 Push-ups
50 Walking Lunges (25 per side)
50 Underhand inverted rows
50 Stability ball leg curls
100 Bicycle crunches
50 Decline push-ups
25 Overhand inverted rows
50 Mountain Climbers (25/side)
50 Squats
25 Chin-ups
100 Jumping jacks/Jump rope
The reason this challenge is undertaken is not only to get into great shape but to raise funds and awareness for the Athletics for Kids charity (A4K). A4K provides financially disadvantaged youth in the community with greater access to organized sport.
Help us get all kids "in the game"!
The Fitness Freaks are a bunch of guys who workout at lunch time, outside in any weather. We want to inspire people of all ages both young and old to get active and take control of their lives! Supporting Athletics for kids is a great way to give back and help build a healthy community!
