The August Monthly Challenge was a lot of fun, especially if you like the song “Bring Sally Up, Bring Sally Down.” The athletes did the following exercises to this song. Each week they did a different exercise while the song was playing, and they counted their time where they stopped. At the end of the month, all time was counted. The winner is the athlete who had the most time accumulated at the end of the month. The exercises were as follows:
Week 1 (1-6th) Push ups
Week 2 ( (7-13th) Pull up
Week 3 (14-20th) Squats
Week 4 (21-27th) Push ups
Week 5 (28-31st) Pull Ups
The winners of the August Monthly Challenge were Patrick with a time of 13:18, and Gretchen with a time of 11:08. I was so excited that so many people participated! Way to go!
