1000 rep challenge in under 30 minutes or it is free

This a small gamble, but I won. Again.

After all, we live by this Kekich Credo, right?

" Half-hearted efforts = half-hearted results. Do more than is expected of you. Life's easy when you live it the hard way…and hard if you try to live it the easy way." – Kekich Credo #4

My Gamble was the 30-Minute 1000 rep challenge. I wanted a tough circuit for some reason today, even though I'm deadlifting tomorrow.

The best way to satisfy my crazy craving was to use lots of different movements so there would be no muscle soreness (and in fact this would help my mobility).

The workout was done in circuit fashion. Some exercises were "crossed off" earlier than others (i.e. TBX took 4 rounds of 25 reps, while jumps took 5 rounds of 10 reps)

Here's how it went down in almost exactly 30 minutes.

So you can do this one of TWO ways:

i) Do all 1000 reps as fast as possible (has to be done in less than 30 min)
ii) As many rounds/reps as possible in 30 min (if you can't hit 1000 reps)

The Domino's Pizza 1000 Reps in 30-Minute Challenge or it's free!

1) 50 box jumps
2) 100 Total Body Extensions
3) 100 Pushups
4) 150 Squats
5) 50 Slam Ball Slams
6) 50 Ab Wheel Rollouts
7) 100 Lunges (50 per side)
8) 400 Jump Rope reps

Good times.

You know who could do that really fast?

Shawna.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tip:
You must truly believe in yourself. You must end the "I'll give this a try" mindset, and switch to an, "I'm going to succeed" belief. You CAN do it. I know you can. I know you WILL. Stay strong and push on.

Push on,

Craig Ballantyne, CTT
