Once signed up, you have to try and achieve one of these targets:
It's a great chance to compete with others and improve your cardiovascular endurance at the same time! Let's see where you are at the end of the week.
Level 1: Complete 10km in the week
Level 2: Complete 15km in the week
Level 3: Complete 20km in the week
Level 1: Complete 15km in the week
Level 2: Complete 30km in the week
Level 3: Complete 45km in the week
I look forward to seeing the results on the app and who has reached the various levels. Good luck.
The challenge is to complete 500 reps in your garden or home.
There are 10 exercises and you have to try and complete 50 reps of each one. You can do all the reps in one go or you can go back to that exercise later if you want to move on.
Try and complete in the fastest time possible. Try this twice or 3 times in the week if possible!
Pick a Level which suits you and give it a go.
Level 1: aim for 200 reps (20 of each exercise)
Level 2: aim for 350 reps (35 of each exercise)
Level 3: aim for 500 reps (50 of each exercise)
The 10 stations/exercises are below:
press ups
sit ups
squats
tricep dips
chair shoulder press (lying down if low ceiling!)
jumping lunges
up and down plank (can alter if too challenging)
side kicks
air punches
star jumps
This week's challenge is the 1 km Divisional Competition
The 1 km Divisional Competition
What the you need to do (2 things!)
Run 1 km in the fastest time possible
Send your scores in via this form
When you submit your form you will score a point for your Division (regardless of time achieved).
Further points will then be awarded for the Divisions who have the quickest times.
It is best to do this with a running watch or app on your phone which tracks your distance.
Integrity is crucial so please be honest with your times (also make sure you are running on reasonably level ground - 1km downhill would be a huge advantage and is not a true reflection!)
Feel free to have a go more than once to try and beat your time and resubmit the form (it will still be 1 point for your division but if your time is quicker, that may help the overall scores as your best time will count).
Girls will be competing for their brother divisions and Dunbar will be competing in their watches.
The cut off for entries will be 5.00pm on Friday 8th May.
This week's challenge is to complete 3 different HIIT workouts - use the Darebee website which is on the Fitness Links page to help you with some ideas. Each workout should roughly be about 20 mins. Create your own workout from this website or other sources.
This week I would also like you to download the Strider app from the app store and start syncing your data from Strava so we can compete with other schools. You need to use your school account to login. Good luck.
Bring Sally Up Challenge. See videos below:
Have a go at trying to make a start on these challenges. Simply play the song Bring Sally Up by Moby and see how you get on by doing these challenges to the beat. They are tough but see how you get on!
If you are feeling creative, see what else you can do in relation to music or even another exercise to this song.
