Day 22-Oklahoma St Owned Me

Day 22

Dec 3

Cardio/Active Recovery

OK so I decided to do something a little different this Saturday.  Instead of the traditional interval training cardio/sprints that I normally do, I made a bet with a roommate that quickly backfired in my face.   

The bet: for the Oklahoma v Ok St game this Saturday, we would do push ups for every point scored for our designated team.  If one team kicked a field goal you would do three push ups, then if they scored a touchdown you would do ten, and so on. 

The roommate decided he was going to do push ups for Oklahoma which left me stuck with Ok St.  Well I decided that doing only push ups were not enough.  I however, would do a push up, mt climber, and up down for every point scored.  Turns out that decision was not a good one.

For those of you who live under a rock and didn't watch the game, Ok st ended up dominating Oklahoma to the tune of 44-10.  So all in all I had to do a total of 204(7, 10, 24, 27, 34, 41, 44) push ups, mt climbers, and up downs each, while the roommate had a grand total of 13.  

I was sweating from head to toe and didn't get to watch much of the game but it was a great change of pace and was a lot of fun, aside from the big disparity in workload of course.  This was definitely a great way to be active while sitting on the couch being lazy.  

If your team's not scoring much, you could also try doing a set number of reps every time a commercial comes on.  Either way its very enjoyable and gives you a change of pace from the daily grind. Felt like I could take on the anything after this workout.  Best feeling in the world.
