#BaldysChallenge - Day 24 and a NEW exercise

For those who don't know what #baldyschallenge is, here's a quick explanation:

On New Year's Day, whilst most of the world was in bed sleeping hangovers off, I got chatting to a few people who wanted to start getting fit. It struck me that an easy way for people to get into a new routine was to start bit by bit, and gently get the body used to exercise. Mentaly, it's easy to take small steps and have lots of short term goals that get you towards your longer term goals. So I proposed #baldyschallenge.

Jan 1st = 1 Press Up, 1 Sit Up
Jan 2nd = 2 Press Ups, 2 Sit Ups
and so on, just adding 1 rep to each exercise a day.

There have been dozens of people following and doing the challenge, either as their exercise for the day, or as an extra set of exercises to their normal training.

Last night, my friend David Speed recommended we add bodyweight squats to work on the lower body. Sounds like a great idea, and not impossible for people to add in at this stage.

So, today's challenge is:

JAN 24 = 24 Sit Ups, 24 Press Ups, 24 Bodyweight Squats

Once you've done it, either like my status with this Blog Post link so that others can see you're still with us, or if you are a Tweeter, ReTweet my Tweet with this link.

Stay with me people, you should really start to feel the benefits next month. Toned bum and thighs, pert pecs, no bingo wings - who needs surgery?!

#baldyschallenge Day 9 #in

So it's day 9 of #baldyschallenge !

We started on New Year's Day with an easy way to ease yourself into getting fit and toning up. The plan was to do just 1 press up and 1 sit up and then add 1 rep each day throughout the year and see how far we can get.

Anyone can join in at any time, just do the challenge and then Tweet about it using the tag #baldyschallenge so you can share with and check on the others doing it. Who knows, we may get hundreds of team mates by the end of the year?

So far, those doing it (from twitter) are:

@athleticsmum
@JayneyRus

By the time we get to New Year's Eve we'll be doing 366 press ups and 366 sit ups in a day! Imagine how toned your arms will be and the six pack you'll have!!!

Come on, join in and share with your friends

9 press ups, 9 sit ups and Tweet #baldyschallenge Day 9 done!

#BaldysChallenge - You can do this!!

Join me and the others who are setting out to do this challenge over this coming year!

Day 1 - 1 x sit up, 1 x press up (January 1st)
Day 2 - 2 x sit ups, 2 x press ups
and so on...

When you have done it each day, simply Tweet:

"#baldyschallenge Day 1 done!" (obviously change the day accordingly)

We are going to add 1 rep each day, so at the end of January for example, we'll be doing 31 sit ups and 31 press ups. There, not too difficult is it? Imagine how you will feel when we get to Christmas and you are doing over 300 situps and 300 press ups a day!!

This is for beginners, or for extreme athletes to add onto their existing training. You can join in at any time, but it's easier if you start now.

So come on - do your 1 sit up and 1 press up and Tweet about it using the #baldyschallenge tag so we can track others doing it with us!
