Dare: Make a goal this week to challenge yourself physically, More than you already do. Complete it this week. Push your limits! Anike: Took this challenge to get a gym membership, get to the gym and start getting back into shape. I wanted to challenge myself with the stair master and see how many flights I could climb. I did 100 flights of stairs in 30 minutes. I worked my way to 100 flights in 21 minutes. Johanna: I wanted to take this challenge with my kids. Because I am usually too tired to play with my kids, So I wanted to take this challenge and make it more of a mental challenge, and still play with my kids at the end of the day. I also started a new job, a physical job loading a truck with boxes. It is exhausting, hits me when I get home. I learned that my kids just wanted my attention, not just my physicality. This was mental and physical. Bretagne: I needed to be challenged, I chose two, the splits and a handstand for 10 seconds. I didn’t know what I could do, so I first started to see what I could do, so little by little I tried a handstand by the wall, then I was able to do a handstand for 7 seconds. Also with just 10 minutes a day I was able to get down on the left legged split. While I didn’t accomplish my goal, I pushed farther, and I inspired other people at the gym to start playing with their handstands.
