ShapeXchange - 1-2-1 Personal Training and Functional Fitness Classes
The guidance, expertise and support you need to achieve the results you want

The guidance, expertise, and support you need to achieve the results you want

๐Ÿ”ฅ And now for the bit where things got tough...

On Monday, I took on my client's challenge of doing 100 lunges in one go.

Part 1 showed you the first 20 or so, when there was still spring in the legs...

This picks up just before lunge 80.

By this point, the question was whether I could keep picking up my feet, keep up and make it to 100. ๐Ÿ˜‚

And then, if I did...

Could we manage to go beyond it? And if so, who would tap out first?

๐ŸŽฅ Here's the finale.

You'll have to watch to find out whether the challenge got the better of me - and whether I could hold off my competitor and keep hold of my fitness crown! ๐Ÿ‘‘

Enjoy. ๐Ÿ˜…

๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ So, one of my clients challenged me to do 100 lunges in one go...

Obviously, I said yes.

On Monday, in the very necessary air con of the Studio at Longstanton Wellness โ„, I decided to film this brave (or perhaps foolish!) endeavour - partly to document how far we managed to go, and partly because I thought there might be some entertaining commentary along the way. ๐Ÿ˜‚

This is the first 20-ish reps. At this point, I think things were going pretty smoothly...

Well... let's just say things changed somewhat by the end.

I've split the video into two parts because nobody needs to watch me suffer through all the lunges in one sitting. ๐Ÿ˜…

๐ŸŽฅ Part 1 is here.

Part 2 - where things get considerably less comfortable - is coming on Saturday.

Stay tuned...
