Are You Ready for the #LJSCchallenge???
Forget your gym friends. Delete phone numbers from competing family members. Stare down and strike fear into the hearts of your neighbor on the rower. That’s right, it’s time for the #LJSCchallenge!
We’ll be pitting ourselves against fellow La Jolla Sports Club members and fighting to the death wait no, going down in history as the greatest champions ever from La Jolla wait no, entering into the La Jolla Sports Club Hall of Fame wait no, earn some great bragging rights. Yes, LJSCers, you will be earning some great bragging rights. So what do you have to do to earn said rights?
Here’s the #LJSCchallenge (scroll down for photos of our very own La Jolla Sports Club Personal Trainer, Neil Minella, rocking the moves):
- Time it takes to row 500m + time it takes to do 20 burpees + time you can hold your body weight in dumbbells = Your total time
- For instance, add your time to row 500m (2mins 12sec), do 20 burpees (50sec) and complete the dumbbell hold (47sec) to get a total of 3mins and 49sec
- Note: Do these exercises as close to back-to-back as possible
- We’ll award prizes for the top performers in both the Women’s and Men’s categories
- Be sure to tag yourself and La Jolla Sports Club on Instagram (@lajollasportsclub) for bragging rights–a small prize will be awarded for most #LJSCchallenge tags
