Ball So Hard was designed by our fitness instructor, Estelle, and she wanted to challenge everyone to different exercises using a medicine ball. This week challenged participants to finish the exercises as fast as possible, all while holding a medicine ball. The challenge involved two different weighted medicine balls, a 30lb for males and a 15lb for females.

Each participant had to complete 20 jump lunges, 10 wall balls (throwing the medicine ball again the wall at a specific location), 5 burpees and 2 sprints trough the speed ladder, for time and all while holding the medicine ball. Easier said than done!

Amanda Lilla lead the female participants with a time of 54.91 seconds!

We had 13 participants accept the challenge this week and they all finished within 1 minute! 

All the participants did a great job and some photos below highlight the specific exercises in the challenge. Also, don’t forgot to come out and participate at our next Pop Up Challenge on Wednesday, March 12th at 6:00-6:45pm.
