hey bluesers,
i'm starting an i dare you thread. basically the first person (that would be me) dares anyone on the blue team to do something (say 10 push-ups) whoever does it first reports that they did it and puts down another dare (say running in place 5 minutes). the idea here is little things do add up, so get creative with your dares and keep them on a smaller scale so everyone can play. (means don't dare them to go to a zumba class when not everyone has access to something like that...ok that would be me to)

i'll start....i dare you to do 10 push-ups and 10 crunches

I'll take that dare:

For this dare will need a 3lb weight or heavy book.

Stand with feet hip width apart, holding a 3lb weight or the final Harry Potter Book would double for that, hold weight/book with both hands and squat down, set book down and stand up. Squat and pick up book. Repeat, 20times.

I'll take that dare...

I dare a blue team member to park in the furthest parking space from the grocery store (it's always empty) buy at least 2 full bags of groceries (preferably not marshmellows) and hand carry them back to the car.

Very creative blue team.... I love it!!!

Maybe we (red team) will do this next week.

Keep up the GREAT work!!!

Cindy

I did that today at lunch at the grocery store!!

I challenge someone to put a young child on their back like a piggy-back ride and do 10 squats!

That challenge sounds like fun but I don't have a little kid handy, so I put the entire collected works of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Shakespeare in a backpack and squatted that, then added in 20 lunges and 5 pushups. They're kind of like my babies. Hope that counts!

I challenge the next person to attempt to do one headstand OR 3 cartwheels. Almost is ok, against the wall is ok. Just try your best.

i'll accept and (attempt) the head stand...if you don't hear from me i broke my neck.


i dare the next person the run 2 laps around there office/livingroom

I did your challenge

Now put on your headphones and dance your little tushy off to your favorite song, really get into it, extra points for singing along~~ Enjoy!!

i did your challenge...

now do 20 jumping jacks

Done...Now do 20 crunches and 20 bicycles

Done. The next time you're in Walmart or similar place, put 100 lbs of dog food in a cart and do 2 laps around the store, then put the dog food back. Unless of course you have a dog. LOL.

Or at home. 2 gallon jugs, full, one for each hand. 20 bicep curls.

Done, but my arms hate you now.

Do 3 sets of -

10 bicycle crunches
5 chair/stair dips (watch your shoulders!)

OR

30 seconds of Side Plank Twists (Youtube Example)

done and out of breath, i can't remember last time i did bicycle crunches.

go outside, enjoy the weather and do 2 laps around your house

Done...but I did two miles instead

Now....do twenty walking lunges

Did it! Now do -


The Bridge Pose for 5-30 seconds. Rest, then try to beat your previous time by 5 seconds.

Make sure you squeeze your butt so you don't hurt your back. Just do as much as you can.
