Week 3 Bonus Challenge

This week we have a exciting challenge that involves strength and endurance. Time to put all this gym training you guys have been doing to good use!

 

Straight arm DB front raise hold –

5 team members must perform this exercise while a staff member times them. Depending on how long you hold the dumbbell up for, will depend on how many points you earn for your team.

 

The rules:

 

-          Bum, shoulders against the wall with head back. Feet can be a foot length away from the wall.

-          Elbows must be locked and cannot bend during the exercise

-          Women hold 3kg and men hold 7kg

-          Dumbbell must be held at shoulder height and if it drops your time is stopped

-          You must hold the dumbbell up using the correct technique and a staff member will time how long it is held for

-          For every 30seconds you will earn 5 points

-          You must make either the minute or half a minute mark otherwise you do not earn the 5 points

-          Only 5 team members are to participate

-          Challenge must be complete by Friday

 

Once all team members have completed the challenge, we will add up the times and you’ll earn 5points for every 30 seconds.

 

So amongst your teams, decide on the strongest 5 people to do the challenge and come see myself, Sia of Callum to time you for the exercise.

 

In case any of you are unsure of what the exercise is, I have added a photo of one of our instructors Sia performing the exercise. Sia ended up holding the dumbbell up for 2minutes and 30seconds.

 

Points update will be done by the end of today.

 

 

Keep up the good work guys!
