Morristown Kickboxing - 25 Rep Per Set Squat Challenge

Here is your Weekend Workout Challenge. This one is very simple to explain - it doesn't even need a video!

Your goal is to work sets of 25 air squats. They must be GOOD air squats - you are trying to get as close to butt-to-heels as possible, so butt to knee level is the minimum acceptable level. A good set of 25 squats takes between 30 seconds and 1 minute, so we are not talking a lot of time here. 

You have until Midnight Sunday to get in as many as you can, and you have until Monday to post your results as a check-in at ILoveKickboxing.com Morristown, or post your results as a comment here on the blog.

Entries for prizes will be determined as follows:

6 sets = 1 entry
10 sets = 2 entries
15 sets = 4 entries

Squats can be done ANYWHERE. I have done squats in stores, parking lots, restaurants and pretty much anywhere else you can imagine, so NO EXCUSES. Get them done! Post a photo doing your squats somewhere unusual and I may just have an extra prize for you.

Have fun with the squats, and have a great weekend!

UPDATE:

I got in 6 sets alone while bowling with my daughter and my nephews:

Morristown Kickboxing - Post Thanksgiving Cardio/Core Challenge

Here is your post-Thanksgiving Weekend Workout Challenge, complete once again with a few bloopers at the end. 

I'm not sure I specified in the video, but each exercise gets 50 reps. Please make sure they are GOOD reps, particularly on the high knees. The high knees are a WASTE of time if you are not getting your knees up properly. All the core exercises require a good, solid crunch. Never, ever, ever, sacrifice good form for a faster time. This challenge is very short, but done RIGHT you should have a good burn in the core and some funky feeling legs! 

Get a screenshot of your time and post it as a check-in at ILoveKickboxing.com Morristown, along with a description of what you did and why. The post is required to be eligible for prizes. As always, get your significant other to participate AND post and you will get triple entries. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can post your time in the comments below.

We only have one more challenge before I will be drawing for the next $50 prize. Some of you also only need a few more challenges to earn your Beast t-shirt.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Morristown Kickboxing - Cardio Challenge

Here you go ladies - the Weekend Workout Challenge for October 4th-6th.

To be eligible for prizes you must post a screenshot of your workout time from your smartphone stopwatch on your personal Facebook timeline or as a comment at the bottom of this post. Make sure you describe what you did so people know just how crazy you are, and make sure you post as a check-in at ILoveKickboxing.com Morristown if posting on Facebook.

I suggest you write down the exercises so you have a reference while going through the workout. The exercises are:

Jumping Jacks, High Knees, Jump Squats, Jumping Lunge Squats, Plank Jumping Jacks, Plank Knee Ins, Burpees. 10 reps each, cycle through 3 times.

Concentrate on your form - as always, I would rather see slow times and good form than fast times and bad form. You are competing with yourself, not everyone else.

$10 Starbucks card to the first time posted properly, and we will have drawings for $5 gift cards. Everyone that participates also gets entries into the monthly drawing for $50 cash. I will have some other nice prizes in the monthly drawing as well.

If you get your significant other to participate and post their screenshot, you get 3 entries instead of one.

Message me or comment if you have any questions. Have fun and have a great weekend!

Morristown Kickboxing - 300 Rep Challenge

Alright Morristown kickboxers - its time for the Weekend Workout Challenge for September 20th - 22nd!

To be eligible for prizes, you must post your screenshot of your time on your personal Facebook timeline as a check-in at ILoveKickboxing.com Morristown. Specify if the push-ups were on your knees and the lunge squats were complete or not. 

If you get your significant other to do the challenge and post, you get 3 entries in the drawing instead of only 1. If I am not friends with them, you will need to send me their screenshot or other proof that they posted their time and why they were doing it. 

I am going to change the prizes up a little from here on out. I will still do the $10 Starbucks card to the first person to post, and I will give away 3 $5 cards. I will also throw in stuff like t-shirts, etc, and occasionally restaurant gift cards. But instead of doing $20 cash every week, I will do a drawing for $50 every 4 weeks. Every time you do the challenge you get an entry, and of course if your significant other does it too, that triples. I think $50 makes things a little more interesting. 

I also have something cool in the works for those that participate on a regular basis. 

Have fun with the challenge everyone and have a great weekend!
