Sinister Sevens- 7 minutes, 7 days a week for 70 days- are you in?

We are 14 days into this amazing adventure with 70 days remaining. I am having the time of my life...but miss my Crossfit! ...so I made up my own crossfit challenge and am seeking comraderie! It takes 7 minutes and you can do it without any equipment and without leaving your room.

2 min as many push-ups as possible
20 second rest
2 min as many sit ups as possible
20 second rest
2 min as many squats as possible
20 sec as many burpees as possible

*Rotate which exercise you start with each day (eg: day 1: push ups, sit ups, squats; day 2: sit ups, squats, push ups; day 3: squats, push ups, sit ups; repeat). Burpees are always at the end
*journal how many you do each day to track improvement.
*Starts tomorrow and ends March 16! This shouldn't have to interfere with anything you may already be doing...so...Who is in? Jimbo says he's in! Anyone else? Just 7 minutes!

    Hi Jen, How is your ankle? As for the 7 minute challenge -I'm in -I had to google Burpees - pretty cool! I love your reflections on traveling with 3 yo Addi :-). Enjoy Adelaide. It is apparently the 5th largest city in Australia.
    much love to all of you. Jane

    I'm in but one one condition- I get the Senior discount rate for at least half girly push-ups and reps.
    You are so right. Traveling with kids makes you slow down and really see things ( not just what the books tell you to look for) and forces you to rest enough that you can enjoy your kids and the sights. Jim- you deserve a lot of credit for the 30 pound wiggly kettle ball on your shoulders!
    Love, Mom

    Yea! Thanks for joining moms and bro! Two minutes is a longer time than it seems. The goal is to work as hard as you can. So regular push ups till you can't do more, then drop the knees and do it 'girlie' till you can't do more....then just keep trying till time runs out- even if you just tremble there unable to squeeze one more out! :x)

    Anyone else up for it? Dads? Sister? Friends? :-)

    I might do this. 7 minutes isn't so bad. I'm o commiting 100% and since you're so far away you can't monitor my activity. Ha! Wonder if they will mind if I do this at work next to my desk.
