Winter 45 minute Cross Train Mash Up - November!!
Options
-
23-10-2012 11:47pm#1There is a winter cross train thread on the A/R forum but I figured we could add a bit of 'messing' to our version
The idea is this.
You create a 15 minute challenge for your 'opponent' who has to complete/attempt to complete it 3 times over the course of November. You can make the challenge whatever you like but ideally it will be fun, realistic and perhaps beneficial to your 'opponent' in the long run.
You must post some sort of comment/report to say you did it. You can do all 3 attempts in a row or one a week its up to you.
Thank this post or post something in the next few days if you want to be involved. I'll throw all the names into a hat and draw mash up pairs for November
You may think of a creative XC challenge between now and then but may change your mind completely when you find out who you are up against!!
You can also do any of the challenges set out by anyone else, (including the one you prescribed!) as long as you have completed your 'opponent's' challenge 3 times first.
The winners will be anyone who takes part, has a bit of craic and gains something fitness related from it
As an example I'll pull Oryx vs Griffin100 out of the hat, they will then post their challenge to each other
Oryx
@Griffin100
5mins burpees, 5 mins hopping on left leg, 5 min hopping on right!
Griffin100
@Oryx
15min straight backstroke!
Are you in?! 10

Cool 12 in so far, thats going to be 12 interesting 15 minute fitness challenges on the menu for November already
@Oryx... that will be down to the whim of your 'opponent'
@AKW... ideally you will design the challenge to suit your 'opponent'. Make it tough if you like but no point in creating an impossible challenge. Ideally it will be fun too as we will expect people to report on how they found the challenge. If its too easy they can dust off your challenge in one foul 45 minute swoop... Its entirely up to your imagination. I'd imagine BTH could do with some tabata intervals for instance Other people might just need 15 minute of lovin'
@hoochiedoubledee - hay bales? sure thing. It will be up to your 'opponent' to find the next best suitable thing to substitute for hay bales if none are easily available. Plenty of kids hangin' out on street corners you could hurdle...0 -

Okay...I'll go first (which may not be wise, but here we go...)....
Oryx....my challenge to you is something we all did in grade school, skipping rope. I'd like for you to skip rope in whatever fashion you can muster for 15 minutes, but a few ideas are as follows -
Skip rope for 3 minutes to warmup, rest 30 seconds - then alternate high intensity skip for 1 minute, rest for 30 seconds.
Another idea is found here:

(you can modify this however you like)
But my favorite idea for you is something along these lines...with music. Some great moves here I'd love for you to learn and embrace.
Bottom line - be creative, you can come up with your own workout to fit your style and personality - you just need to do it for 15 minutes and report back to us. ENJOY!!! 0 -
