With races being postponed left, right and centre we’ve been experiencing disappointment and lack of motivation in our training and we know people have been feeling the same. So, we wanted to bring you a challenge that you can take part in anywhere in the world, if you’re stuck at home or out training normally.
The Challenge
With this in mind, we’re launching our first official Team Grit Challenge and we’re kick starting with everyone’s favourite exercise… the burpee!
Starting on Saturday 21st Of March you will have 4 weeks to accumulate as many burpees as you can. The top burpeers’ will win themselves some sweet prizes from us!
Each week we will upload a Google Form where you can record how many burpees you have completed in the week and we will share this on a weekly basis so you can see how you compare and keep yourself accountable! (See below)
Obviously this will require some integrity. We can’t be there to count your burpees or to hold you accountable so please use that gold standard honesty when adding your reps and judging your own form - we are going for a Spartan standard burpee (Check out the end of the post if you’re not sure what a Spartan burpee looks like).
So, what are you waiting for? It’s challenge time! Please do tag us in your efforts on Instagram (@teamgrit.ocr) and if you’re still out and about we’d love to see you get creative with where you’re doing your burpees! Please share this challenge with your friends too, it’s clear people are being affected worldwide and if it gives a small motivation or inspiration to keep people on track with their training or a new goal to work towards then it’ll be worth it. Let’s see how many different countries we can get involved!
