The trainers at my gym have been posting videos of them doing the TRX Mission Readiness challenge... and they told me I should try it, too. 

The challenge goes like this:

  • 1 minute TRX hamstring curl
  • 1 minute TRX low row 
  • 1 minute TRX lunge 
  • 1 minute TRX lunge (other leg)
  • 1 minute atomic pikes

You do as many reps as you can, and that's your score. 

I had never done the hamstring curl, and knowing how tight my hamstrings are, I was worried about how well I could do. 

So I ate proper Thursday and slept early so I could be at 100% for the Friday morning challenge. 

It was my first time through the whole exercise, so my #1 goal was to maintain a steady pace and finish the challenge - I didn't want to burn myself out. 

Here's the video:

My score were 185 - which wasn't that bad! (My trainer scored a 191) 

I can definitely improve this, now that I know the energy level it takes. I can definitely speed up the hamstring curls (should be able to get an extra 10), and can definitely get more lunges in on each leg. 

My next goal is 200... let's see!

Nice! Hi Roy! It's been a while since I posted a comment. Anyway, I was wondering did you made any changes to guest commenting? My friends say that she can't comment since she needs to log in or create a tabulas account.
