Hold The Pass Challenge - Day 3
John here.
Yesterday was Day 3 of the Hold The Pass Challenge. The challenge was to do Single Leg Wall Throws (300 each side). If you drop the ball, that set must start over again and you do 20 reps per set. I’m fighting some knee pain (I’ll probably need it checked out when I’m done with this challenge) so I did regular wall throws and did 800 total throws. The wall I was using was a cinder block wall so I would aim for a certain block to work on accuracy. I didn’t do too bad but I could use more work with it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day. See y’all tomorrow with more updates of the challenge.
I’m outta here.

Hold The Pass Challenge - Day 2
John here.
Yesterday was Day 2 of Hold The Pass Challenge. The challenge consisted of two challenges - squeeze the tennis ball 600 times and burn 600 calories during cardio. Here are a couple of shots where I did my calorie burn and the time it took me to get it accomplished.

Time and distance for the challenge
Today’s challenge is another ball throw but not like the first one. This one is going to be an all day challenge because of work.

Hold The Pass Challenge - Day 1
John here.
Yesterday was Day 1 of Hold The Pass Challenge. The two challenges yesterday were to squeeze the ball (shown in the previous two posts) 600 times - 300 times per arm and throw the ball 600 times - 300 times per arm against a chain link fence or a wall and time yourself. I drove to Lafayette, Louisiana and went to Girard Park to do my throws against a squash court wall. I will have to get the pictures my wife took to show where I was throwing the ball.
Time to make 600 throws
Earlier in the day, I did a 600 calorie burn to see how long it would take me to accomplish it because today’s challenge besides squeezing the ball 600 times, is to burn 600 calories. So that part was lagniappe, extra to see if I could do it and test myself. Now I have a measurement to better myself with each 600 calorie burn challenge.
How long and far to burn 600 calories
I will be posting updates daily of how I am doing in the challenge. Thanks for following me on the journey. I greatly appreciate it.
I’m outta here.
