Fitness Challenges: Flexibility: Splits in 3 Weeks

Okay I just read this challenge online and I'm a little bit afraid of it because I feel like I might fail at it. However, I am up for the challenge. I have always wanted to be able to do splits, and maybe now is my chance.

This Challenge is going to be Possible! Kim Possible.

Why would I want to be able to do splits? Simple: flexibility has so many benefits. Some that are important to me include lean muscle mass, better posture, and feeling more relaxed.

This is the game plan:

Week 1: Morning 15 minutes of split stretching. Includes what we used to call in child gymnastics pancake stretching, pike stretching, the number 4 stretch, yoga's intense leg stretch, pre split stretches, and sitting in a split.
Evening the same 15 minutes of split stretching.
**Before stretching move around a little, make your muscles warm.

Week 2: Morning 15. Afternoon 15. Evening 15.

Week 3: Morning 20. Afternoon 15. Evening 25.

Then I should have splits... We shall see!

Fitness Challenges: The Curling Iron Workout

Today I invented the curling iron workout. When I curl or straighten my hair it takes me between 20-40 minutes, depending on how thorough I am being. Today I added work out moves, I would place part of my hair into the curling iron, then instead of just counting to 30 I would do some sort of move that lasted for 30 seconds.

Here are a few examples:
30 rib cage isolations (works the abs and obliques)
30 side twists (works obliques)
10-15 sumo squats
20 bicep curls (1 arm at a time, obviously)
15 stomach circles

Sorry boys, this one's for the girls.

I challenge you to take a mundane task such as curling your hair and turn it into an exercise. Be creative with it, as long as you are moving you are expending energy you weren't expending before. You're burning calories and not even changing your daily routine :)
