On February 4, 2023 I participated in my gyms level up games competition. I decided to try and train for something different this year and I thought this would be a good challenge. We had 3 different workouts or "challenges" we had to do and the fastest person to complete them all won. There was an advanced level of women and a modified level. I participated in the advanced group. This was the one with the heaviest weights. I was placed in the first heat and the pressure was on! I was hoping to be in a later heat so I could get tips from other athletes that went. Sadly the trainers all wanted me to go first to be the "example."
I was nervous but started strong. I finished almost a minute faster than the next person on the first challenge. The first challenge was 20 hex press, 30 goblet squats, 40 dumbbell swings, 30 ground to overhead, 20 half burpee to hurdle hop over, and 100 rope slams.
The second challenge was 1 lap slider push, 15 power rolls on ledge, 25 pushups, 50 jump squats, 100 mountain climbers, 25 pushups, 15 power rolls on ledge, and 1 lap slider push. I also finished in first the second round.
The last round was a surprise and we didn't know what it was. It ended up being a lot of medball exercises with 3 laps of running in between. The running is what saved me and helped me win overall.
I had a great cheering squad. It was a long day to wait between heats. There were 9 heats so it took about an hour and a half between each challenge.
Overall I won and was happy with my performance. I love new challenges and was glad I was able to participate.
It has been a fun gym go to and I have enjoyed going there this year.
As for my foot...well I pushed too hard and couldn't walk for a couple days after per usual as the last year and a half. Pretty frustrating, but I keep pushing along until my foot is healed.
