THE CREATURE CHALLENGE 8000. There are 20 movements, accumulate 20 repetitions of each, for 20 days, I challenge you!
20 different whole-body movement patterns. 20 repetitions of each and on each side. For a total of 20 days. At 400 reps per day, there is enough work here to ensure change, develop and make movement patterns more fluent, lengthen and strengthen bodily tissues and form positive exercise habits and experiences.
Kids, they just need exposure, frequency, and minimal dose to improve, so a number does not matter for them. Their body, attention and focus will tell you when they have had enough for the day. But we must make it fun to keep them engaged. Adults and parents however, it is about work, completing physical work in order to create change, 8000 reps of work!
Initially, the movements will act like a movement screen, highlighting certain areas of your body that are tight, restricted, lack strength and need attention, but over at least 20 exposures, greater mobility, stability, strength, muscular endurance, capacity, physical resilience, health, wellness and performance…. await. A great foundation will have been laid.
Instructions
-Perform the 20 different creature movements, in any order or structure you like.
-Accumulate 20 reps any way possible. For example, in sets of say 5 reps x 4 sets or, do until fatigued, say 12 reps, then 5, then 3. Do them in a circuit style format. Do some in the morning, and the rest in the evening. It does not matter how, just accumulate the reps.
-Perform and accumulate for 20 days. Ideally 20 days straight, but realistically, 20 days in total.
-Accumulate 8000 reps anyway possible! Start with 400 reps per day if you are a movement aficionado… then add load. Progress to 400 reps per day if you are just starting out. Families might accumulate 400 reps per day collectively among themselves. It doesn’t matter, its all relative, start with what is tolerable, and progress!
-Once you have purchased and taken up the challenge, post photos, videos, questions, comments, or log/journal your work in THE CREATURE CHALLENGE GROUP on Facebook. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR WORK, PROGRESS AND RESULTS!
-For best results, take before and after photos/videos, of your first creature challenge of most restricted movement and then the 20th (not the last either!).
I believe we have a job to do. So, let us get to work.
Work, will work, when nothing else works.
