Fitness Challenge Week 8 | Four Corners (10 minutes)
Teams of 4
Team members will be stationed at 4 corners of a square. At corner #1 will be a container with medicine balls. Team members will throw or roll the medicine ball to the next corner going counter clockwise. The ball cannot be carried from one corner to the next. Each participant must be at their corner before rolling/throwing the ball to the next corner. Participants may only leave their corner if they lose the ball but then must return to their corner before proceeding in the challenge. Each time a medicine ball makes it around the entire square and returns to corner #1 the team will earn the number of points equal to the weight of the medicine ball. For example, a 4 lbs medicine ball making it around the square will earn the team 4 points. The team may use whatever medicine ball they want but cannot use the same ball twice in a row. Highest score wins.
Teams of 2
Team members will be stationed at 2 corners of a square. At corner #1 will be a container with medicine balls. Team members will throw or roll the medicine ball to the next corner going counter clockwise. After one participant throws/rolls the ball to their partner, he or she will run diagonally across the square to the opposite corner before their partner will roll/throw the ball to him or her. The ball cannot be carried from one corner to the next. Each participant must be at their corner before rolling/throwing the ball to the next corner. Each time a medicine ball makes it around the entire square and returns to corner #1 the team will earn the number of points equal to the weight of the medicine ball. For example, a 4 lbs medicine ball making it around the square will earn the team 4 points. The team may use whatever medicine ball they want but cannot use the same ball twice in a row. Highest score wins.
65+ (5 minutes)
Participants will walk or run around the four corners. They may carry dumbbells to earn additional points. For example, a set of 5 lb dumbells will earn them an additional 5 points to their total score.
Highest score of combined laps and points wins
GOOD LUCK!
