Day 12 - Burpees

By WWTW Fundraising on

We're back for another day and today’s challenge is burpees. You may have known it was coming and now it's here.

Why burpees?

Burpees are an incredible full-body workout that engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, including your chest, shoulders, arms, core, glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings. This dynamic exercise not only strengthens muscles but also provides an excellent cardiovascular workout.

The challenge

Can you complete 80 burpees today? Or maybe you can push yourself even further.

Here are a few ways to break it down:
  • 8 sets of 10 reps 
  • 4 sets of 20 reps 

Find a rhythm that feels comfortable for you. The goal is to see how many you can do, and if you’re feeling up for it, push yourself to go that extra mile.

Tips for success

  • Warm Up: Start with a light warm-up to prepare your muscles and reduce the risk of injury.
  • Pace Yourself: Break the 80 burpees into manageable sets according to your fitness level.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink water before, during, and after your workout to stay hydrated.

Make It Fun

Incorporate burpees into your daily routine to make the challenge more enjoyable. Try doing a set during TV ads or between work tasks.

Watch the video below where Dave demonstrates the proper technique:

Day 26 - Tricep Dips

By WWTW Fundraising on

We’re so close to the end of our June calendar, and we wanted to thank you for sticking with us! We're moving onto Day 26 and back into our fitness series with tricep dips.

Tricep dips benefits

Tricep dips primarily target the triceps, the muscles at the back of your upper arms. They also engage other upper body muscles, including the shoulders, chest, and upper back, providing a well-rounded upper body workout.

The challenge

Today’s challenge is to complete 80 tricep dips throughout the day..

You don’t have to do all 80 tricep dips at once. Break it into manageable intervals that suit your fitness level. For example:

  • 4 sets of 20
  • 2 sets of 40

Adapt to whatever feels comfortable for you and, if you can, try extending beyond 80 tricep dips....
