Quarantine fitness

Burpees are dumb.
World record in 12h is 5234

I couldn’t imagine doing them for 12 hours. I want to have a go at death by burpee one of these days as a fitness test then try again at the end of lockdown.

Of course. You can injure yourself doing pretty much anything. #expert

Don't encourage me.

Just need to put 12h or 24h in front of it to catch your interest?

Or world record.

Pretty much anything time consuming and stupid piques my interest.

welcome to lfgss

I searched world record for skips in one minute earlier. This is going to surprise people, but I'm not going to be breaking it during quarantine... or ever.

Exactly. If there's something that can be done, I'll do more of it than anyone else.

See, posting, eating, drinking, riding, etc. Everything can be turned into a competition in my stupid brain.

I don't have the coordination or fast twitch for that shit so I need to look at really dumb stuff like skipping around the British Isles or something :)

I've got a world record for you to try, I think it's low-hanging fruit. Reckon it'd take 4-6 hours in a velodrome at most.

Greatest distance cycled (no hands) - world record is 122km

Edit: will delete if anyone seriously wants to attempt it

posting, eating, drinking, riding

Is there a record for doing all these simultaneously?

Or is that basically what ultra endurance races are?

Surely it’d be absolutely nails on a velodrome?

I'll take your word for it, I've never ridden in a proper velodrome. Just need any kind of nice smooth track with minimal wind I guess.

We were talking about door pull up bars, and being sensible when using them...

I looked into other 'drome records years ago and it's expensive to hire, although you could use an outdoor circuit or something.

I do this every day on the turbo trainer.

Reminds me of the most unpleasant challenge ever. Known as the GI Jane, 100 burpee chin-ups for time. Vom!

First ten burpees done:

1. felt silly immediately
   
2. poor jump-to-plank transition
   
3. progressively more erratic and breathless
   
4. grazed knee on final burp while flailing
   
   

#Burpeelife

100 burpees done as a ‘recovery’ after a short bike ride.
10x7, 15x2 with 1m rest.

So after injuring my knee (and not actually knowing what I've done) I've been trying to find challenges I can get stuck into without having to bend or use my knee.

So far I've started working on the handstand t shirt challenge, this is the goal https://youtu.be/kiJU8T69t-4

And also going to attempt the Bring Sally Up press-up challenge which is going to be a killer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41N6bKO-NVI

Apart from those I'm doing the standard abs/plank work and working on different press-ups and dips. Probably should follow a program at some point.

I’m really struggling to motivate myself today.

Power through, not far off from making it a habit!

I’m really struggling to motivate myself today.

Put the keyboard/phone down and go and do your exercises.

ICNBA to go for a run yesterday and, as usual, the annoyance at myself for missing out was enough to motivate me to do it today. Luckily I'm only running 3 days a week at the moment so I need two days off in a row at some point in the week.

Was supposed to go for a run, climbing the walls instead.
