Pull ups!

No.

Why not?!?
We could adjust it to one a week or something??? Pleeeeeeze!

Maybe crunches or sit ups (with the pushups)?

I don't do sit-ups or crunches, bah!

Miles per week! It'd be easy for the first couple months...but the rest of the year would suck! I'd be fine the first six months at least.

I can handle those: http://coupon-wizards.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/pull-up.jpg?9d7bd4

Freak, those are going to get a little uncomfrotable adding one per day!

Ok, windshield wipers then!

Planks?

Seconds/day? Minutes?

Start with 1 second, add 1 per day. Deal! Year end, it'll only take just over 6 minutes, I can handle that.

::shrugs::

Watevs. I like planks.

Fixed



Lunges?

Something that would produce buns of steel??

I'm sorry, I'm just sitting here smiling at a group of bankers arguing over what kind of exercise to do. Most people would be arguing about what kind of pig fat they want to eat! I just think that is cool!

I will do anything you guys want to do. If its exercise and you want to do it, I'm in!

well, there is a good kind and a................good kind

Planks or lunges would be great!
I hate lunges so much.
But I think. Well, I could do 1 one the first day, and 2 on the second...and this is how it starts

Ok, but don't blame me when everyone wants you to enter a best butt contest! JS

I want to enter that contest already!! Well, after we get a lot of lunges under our belts.

I've been doing 30 lunges after my run in the afternoons this week. I go down the hill where no one from the office can see me and I do them there.

I've been doing some free running at the park at the lake. I'm sore as heck! Lots of jumping over things. But its fun.
If you want to see what its like when the big boys do it, check "parkour" or "David Belle" on youtube. They take athleticism to a whole new level!

::tries not to sound to eager::

I would be available to judge such a contest. I have 20+ years of experience.

Right now I'm seriously thinking of using this frisbee park for that type of workout. I am also thinking I could take TRX bands and hang them in a couple of the oak trees and use that as part of the circuit.

You can have a lot of fun just by screaming "Parkour!" and running into things or jumping off the bottom step. I do it quite often.

I'm liking this idea! I can see something viral and youtubie in there somewhere!

"...Hello? 911? Yes, there's something kinky going on in the park..."

^^^ hardcore parkour.... ist

Take a look, let me know if you're interested (here or via PM) or if you have questions/need more details. If we have too many people to all camp in Mani's back yard, we can look into a block of rooms somewhere perhaps. I have at least one, probably a few that will be coming with me, and I know at least one person here already signed up!
