We’re entering February which means a lot of things… one of which is that it’s time for the Charity Challenges Winter Challenge! It’s hard to believe but 2019 is here which marks the second year of doing this “seasonal” style of event. As is tradition with the Live Challenges 100% of the net proceeds will be going to charity. In this case it’s Paws and Stripes.
We’re sticking with the two exercise theme for this challenge and this time we’re going with two staples: push-ups and sit-ups. You’ve got February and March to complete 5,000 push-Ups and 5,000 sit-Ups to earn the COMPLETE tab. If you complete 5,000 push-Ups OR 5,000 sit-Ups (aka not both) then you’ll earn the respective push-up or sit-up tab.
Kirk (aka Mettle Forger) and I created Charity Challenges together what feels like forever ago. Since he passed in 2016 we have had the METTLE FORGER tab which can only be earned for going above and beyond the challenge requirements. In this case it’s completing 10,000 push-Ups and 10,000 sit-Ups in the two month time period. Every challenge we have people who blow it away… it is awesome to see!
The challenge starts 2/1/2019 and ends 3/31/2019. If you’re looking for a good way to start off the year then this is it. If you’re training for a GORUCK event then you’ll want to be good at push-Ups and sit-Ups. $10 for virtual (patches can be purchased separately), $20 for patch(es) with USA shipping, and $30 for patch(es) with international shipping. With all that said register now before the price increases :)
