A calendar item before we get to the challenge – we’re late brunching it this Sunday at Zahra’s house (Orange Moon Sanctuary). Details to follow, but put “3:00 QF92 potluck” on hour calendar for Jan. 31.
The midweek challenge is a quick and lovely little descending set –
As early as you’re able, 5 sun salutations. Then anytime in the day, for one point:
10 burpees, 15 jumping jacks
9 burpees, 15 jumping jacks
8 burpees, 15 jumping jacks
And so on down to 1 burpee, 15 jumping jacks
To make this an energizer rather than a trudging drudgery, do each round of burpees smoother and faster than the last round. This requires you to really tune into your movement – what’s the tweak you can make to make your movement more efficient? You’re trying to find a small improvement in the quality of your burpees with each round.
Beautiful burpees, good people!

Also…I was so happy that Nikki wanted to come to Queerfit last night! I would deeply appreciate any encouragement and camaraderie that anyone/everyone can extend to her. I hope it will give her the extra boost to come back. I’m less worried about her physical health than I am about her isolating herself.
Last night, she brought with her a DIARY OF A WIMPY KID book that has a ton of (mainly silly) questions to fill in, and she hoped to ask them of some of you. Natch, she left it in the car, but I hope she’ll come back and bring it then.
The fact that she wanted to ask those questions of you tells me that she feels comfortable with you.
I’m feeling a touch weepy right now because I’m so grateful for Queerfit folk and the fact that Nik really likes you.

Done with slow burpees, but doubled the push-ups to make up for the slothiness
