We are split between three locations this Saturday: Denver, NYC, and Atlanta.
It’s the last day of our first challenge, meaning all points will be tallied at the end of the day Saturday to determine the winning team of round one. TeamHotDamn is in the lead…BUT a come from behind win is still possible. That’s because there is nothing as exciting as the absolutely impossible come from behind win (skip ahead to the final baton handoff at 2:40 if you’re impatient), and here’s how it’s still possible:
For folks in Denver and NYC, do the workout below and let us know you did so in the comments before midnight Saturday, and your 3 points will count. You can also get 1 bonus point for you team for every non-queerfit person you bring in to do the workout with you.
For everyone, you can get 2 additional points for your team by posting in the comments (1) the most unexpected thing you discovered these first 29 days, and (2) what you’re looking forward to in the next 29 days.
It may be that you’re are too busy fomenting revolution in Denver & NYC to take advantage of these points, but I wanted to make them available. Because really, what is a revolution anyway but an absolutely impossible come from behind win?
For Denver and NYC, you’ll need a wall and a longish space (a hallway or ballroom will do), something that’s somewhat heavy, and a timer. Do a good warm-up, then in pairs: 20 walking lunges (each leg counts as one); one person does 5 burpees, the other does a wall sit, then switch; bear crawl back to where you started; 10 partner sit-ups, passing the somewhat heavy thing between you. Go 12 minutes. If you can’t find a partner, wall sit for about as long as it takes you to do 5 burpees. If there’s more than 1 pair of you, swap the somewhat heavy thing with each other every round.
For those in Atlanta, we’re at Brownwood Park as usual, starting at 10:00 sharp.

1st 29: Never expected to stick with something that challenged me to push beyond almost all my comfort zones. Next 29: I fully expect to improve my push up and my squat by getting STRONGER!

Okay, Q-fitters…I did my substitute 50 pushups, 100 situps, and PT work yesterday, but there is no internet or wifi at Motel 6, so I couldn’t post. But, damnit, I did ’em. And today, I’ve done the same. Team Hot Damn ROCKS!!!!! (Um, as do all Queerfitters…) So, here’s for Queerift in Greensboro, NC!!!
See y’all Tuesday night.

Done and with a few laps of swimming. The altitude in Denver Is no joke, we should get extra points!
First 29 days: I didnt expect to be excited about lifting any kind of weights of any kind. I kind of like it now.
Next 29: Looking forward to doing more back strengthening stuff and maybe someday actually doing a pull up.

Done! Plus a 20 min run. Not in Denver or NY (in AZ) but hope it still counts?
Most unexpected thing in past 29 days: my arms are way stronger…and I’m surprised how pleased I am about the way my arms look. (Mirror flex!)
Next 29 days: what other crazy moves will our coaches have us do?
