Shandon Par Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Could we get clarity on knee touch/crunch? Nearly dead here doing what I’d call a crunch, with feet in air and bringing elbows to knees. 11.59 anyway! Like the man or the woman below? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Knees in the air. I like combining it with a high leg reverse crunch as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I’m doing at least 3 miles of walking every day. Sometimes it’s just a walk but once a week I do a hike. Today I took the car out to the shops though, I feel dirty...and fatter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Arse and thighs a bit sore today. Star jumps, push ups and sit ups all regular things but not done lunges or squats for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 What exactly constitutes a push up for this challenge? Proper straight back and legs and getting your chest down to a fist's width from the ground? I can do 35-40 without stopping but then I'm gubbed so doing 100 takes 5-6 minutes, just for that segment alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yes. Against a wall. It’s hard!!Been doing this as part of my workout. It is difficult. Can make it even harder by walking your hands in and out. Normally I’ll start with that to feel the burn and then move onto pike push ups with my feet on the coffee table. Once that’s becoming agony I’ll put my knees down on the table and continue like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Two runs in two days and I’ve done something to my foot, magic! Will be adopting the Shandon Par method of just doing hundreds of press ups. Still going out for walks as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Have found with pressups the same, can do maybe 40-50 then failure. Can do batches of 10-20 with short break up to about 100 then just feel too tight.Moving the arms around helps to work different areas, hands together like a triangle works arms more whereas wider hand placement seems easier and seems to work the chest.Was thinking of doing a large number of reps but using an on the minute idea.20 pressups, one minute for ten mins20 squats same20 crunches or sit ups same20 light weight dumbell curls same20x10 200 of each and 40 minutesNot sure what's better? Going daft with potential poor form and injury or twice as much volume with just enough break to keep heart rate up but not too much? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate you've probably put away about a kilo more coffee since but anyway. Is this you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 First post in here but I often come in for a look. I’ve always kind of did 5k’s semi for fun with only a brief look at times and tended to hit just over 21. But a friend went sub 20 and it made me try go for it, worked like heck at it and finally managed it today. 19:49. Pretty delighted. Not sure what to go for next. Wouldn’t say I’ve a massive desire to go for a ten k. Been really good with doing weights, joe wicks or 5k most days. Usually have football too but not right now obviously 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
