The February Monthly Challenge – This month is a fun challenge and will test your upper body strength. It may start a new passion, so watch out because you may be hanging a rope under a deck or on a tree to improve; this exercise is infectious.
The February Monthly Challenge is:
2min rope climbs, max laps. There is a modified version for those who aren’t quite up to touching the top of the rope:
- 2min Rope climb making sure you follow these rules:
- You must touch the beam with one hand at the top
- You cannot jump down. Show control at the bottom
- You can do legless or use your legs
- You can jump to the rope
- Max laps wins in 2 minutes
- Modified version (lay on your back and lift yourself up to full extension standing position)
Have fun with this and let’s see what you can do.
For the March challenge, it will be a fun one that will roll out throughout the month of March. Stay tuned and see what you can accomplish!
