February 17 is National Cabbage Day and National Random Act of Kindness Day.
For 1 point, our challenge:
5 sun salutations as early as possible
then anytime during the day,
12 overhead squats with broomstick, bar, chair or object overhead
12 weighted front squats
12 air squats
hold an inversion for 30 seconds (or 3 handstand push-ups)
9 overhead squats with broomstick, bar, chair or object overhead
9 weighted front squats
9 air squats
hold an inversion for 30 seconds (or 3 handstand push-ups)
6 overhead squats with broomstick, bar, chair or object overhead
6 weighted front squats
6 air squats
hold an inversion for 30 seconds (or 3 handstand push-ups)
3 overhead squats with broomstick, bar, chair or object overhead
3 weighted front squats
3 air squats
hold an inversion for 30 seconds (or 3 handstand push-ups)
During each round, think of a random act of kindness you can do today. Use your time upside down to picture yourself actually doing it.
Then either cook and eat a head of cabbage, or do at least 2 of those random acts of kindness.
Let us know in your comments how/what you did.

Done.
Sent two out-of-the-blue notes of gratitude to two younger colleagues whom I worship.
Left a treat on the doorknob of a neighbor who’s been having a hard time.
Received a random kindness from another mom also attending a workshop on legal issues concerning our special needs sons and daughters: I wanted a coffee but didn’t have the 50 cents. Didn’t even need to ask–she just put in for me. Sweet.

Used a broomstick for my overhead squats, no weight for squats since bad knee is not cooperating, but did some for real squat pulses. Did all my inversions.
I surprised my guy with an unexpected visit & gift, got some clarification on an upcoming appointment for mom, and took on a friend’s task because she was way too busy.

Done….overhead squats with mop stick. 15 lb kettle balls for weighted squats. Inversions were downward dog and handstand.
2 acts of kindness: took a shift for a co-worker so she could have a self-care day and treated my neighbor to dinner because he just lost his job! Best dinner in a long time…he’s actually an amazing elder!
