Three Challenges for You

I have three challenges you can do while you’re at home. They aren’t workouts, per se, but instead physical challenges that will make you think about how you move and use your body. 

1. Single Foot Dish Washing 

While doing your dishes, you’re only allowed to stand on one foot. This includes taking dishes from the sink to the dish washer, but also reaching to put things in drawers or cabinets. This one is trickier than it sounds. 

2. One Show on the Floor 

When you queue up your favorite Netflix show today, sit on the floor the whole time. You can move and change position as much as you’d like, but you can’t get off the floor for the whole show. Some suggestions are cross legged, 90/90, kneeling and anything else you can think of. 

3. 60 Minutes Nasal Only 

Set a timer for 1 hour. During this hour, you’re only allowed to breathe through your nose. This is a good challenge to take on while working on the computer or folding laundry but not while you’re eating or needing to interact. Every time you lose your nose breathing and catch yourself mouth breathing (it will happen more frequently than you expect!) you do a 5 bodyweight squat penalty. Lowest number of squats at the end of the hour wins! 

If you give these a try, be sure to let me know how it goes. Good luck!
