I heard about this challenge and I was like this looks interesting. I was also looking to complement my Marathon training (more on that later). So I started this challenge with a buddy of mine- The Daily Sequin.
Now this 5/100 challenge is simple. 5 exercises, 5 days and 5 weeks. The numbers increase every week. The things to keep in mind was:
1. No breaking it into sets.
2. Completing one entirely before moving onto the next.
3. Doing the exercise in correct form.
The first week exercises-
20 Jumping Jacks
20 Burpees
20 Squats
20 Push ups
20 Sit ups
Now when I saw burpees, I knew I was going to have a love-hate relationship with the challenge. I dislike burpees right from when I used to go to Bootcamp. But then this was just another challenge and I knew we could do it.
The first day was easy, although I was sore on Day 2 which made it harder. I took a day off between Day 2 and 3. Day 3 was OK,4 &5 easy. My main challenge was burpees. I do the version with my legs crossed for push-ups. I think I may get a knee brace too.
