Knee-Up Challenge Finish

So I missed my deadline for the knee-up challenge, but I will have you know that I got quite close! I can now do 15 knee-ups before having to drop down. So I didn't quite make my challenge :( But now I also know to do a slightly easier challenge :P At least  for now. I also finally got my boot off!! This means I am back to bike riding and most workouts, minus running. I should be able to start my running again by the end of July, which is super exciting!! :D

Knee-Up Update

I'm up to 9 knee-ups my friends! It's hard work, the 5 seconds is also getting pretty long, and that very well could be my downfall in this challenge. I'm breathing hard and my hands are starting to hurt by the end. Don't forget to breathe when you do any sort of strength exercise, breathing is important! I could go into the scientific part of that, but I'll save that for another day. I have another longer post coming up right after this one, so you guys are lucky, it's a 2 post day! :D Enjoy!

Pull-Up Challenge Update

Progress has been made! I'm up to being able to do 5 knee-ups at a time :) and it's only day 2! I think that things are looking pretty good. Foot is doing better. I'm working on a longer and more informative post for you guys, so expect one soon!

Pull-Up Challenge

My first challenge on this blog! How exciting! Now, since I can't run or jump or anything, I've decided to do a different sort of challenge, a strength challenge. Yesterday, I was lent a piece of equipment that will help me with this challenge: a pull-up bar. My challenge? Knee-ups.

What are knee-ups? 

Grab the pull-up bar, and pull your self up until you arms are at a 90 degree angle. Then point your toes and bring your knees in to your chest, hold them there for 5 seconds before lowering them slowly. Keeping your arms at that 90 degree angle, raise your legs again.

What is my goal?

My goal through this challenge is to try and get up to 25 knee ups without straightening my arms. Think I can do it? I do! I give myself 21 days to get there, while I know that might ne pushing my luck considering I tried this morning and I can do 2 and I'm out of breath... But I'm not one to say no to a challenge!

What am I getting out of this?

I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to get myself if I accomplish this task. I'm big on having rewards for doing something challenging and achieving my goal! It won't be anything big, maybe a new sports bra or I may do a painting for my room...we shall see! I'm up for suggestions!

Wish me luck guys! Updates to come over the next few days!!
