Base Challenge- 10 Minutes Total. How many pushups can you get to???

Details- Run 1 mile as fast as you can then do push ups until time is up. That is it.

Areas of Measurement-How fast can I run (cardio experiment) and how strong am I to lift myself off the ground (strength as well as body composition).

Adjustments- If you don’t think you can run a mile in 10 minutes, use 15 minutes. The idea though is to go as fast as you can for the mile so you finish tired and then be forced to do pushups immediately.

Adjustment #2- Pushups can be done however you can do them, including a vertical pushup against the wall. Challenge yourself, but don’t hurt yourself.

Challenge Thought- Imagine chasing your kid/grandkid/dog in an epic game of tag (if you don’t have either don’t picture chasing someone else’s, as that is creepy). You may not catch them immediately, but if you can endure you know they will tire sooner than you. Then to show off, picture doing some pushups as they are dry heaving trying to catch their breath:)
