Tire Me Out

Pop Up Challenge: Tire Me Out on March 26th

IMG_7124

Shannon O’Connell had the top time completing the challenge in 1minute and 48seconds.

Tire Me Out was designed by Dean, who is the Assistant Director of Fitness & Wellness, and he wanted to challenge the students to complete a work out using our tractor trailer tires! We had two tires that participants could choose from and the challenge required them to complete 10 tire flips, 5 up-in-ups and sprint 2 laps around the track. The top times for male and females walked away with bragging rights and our lime green shirt.

CREC student employee, Brandon Blair, took home for lime green t-shirt for the 2nd time this semester.

We had 8 students participate in the challenge  and they all finished withing 2 minutes!

All participants did a great job! They not only completed the challenge, but they learned how to properly flip a tire! Look out for our next challenge on Wednesday, April 9th at 6:00-6:45pm.

Beach It!

Pop Up Challenge: Beach It! on March 12th

IMG_7079

Melissa took home the green shirt for the top female score.

 

Beach It was designed with Spring Break in mind! The Pop Up Challenge was quick to complete and required participants to complete only 3 things, first Jump in the Sand (standing broad jump for distance), Beach Ball Toss (medicine ball chest press for distance) and Hang Out ( frontal arm hang for time).

This challenge definitely brought out the competitive side of participants because we had 25 people participate, making this our most popular Pop Up Challenge to date! We had 12 females and 13 males accept the challenge, but taking home the top prize was Melissa McLeod and Michael Digregorio!

Look out for the next Pop Up Challenge on Wednesday, March 26th at 4:00-4:45pm!

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.
