Memorial Day Murph Challenge

So if you haven't already noticed, I'm big in setting fun challenges for myself.

Not to say the Murph Challenge is exactly fun, but it does feel good achieving something challenging like that.

And it is not complicated, just do:

1 mile run

100 pull-ups

200 push-ups

300 squats

then finish with another 1 mile run


Oh and one more thing, do all of that while wearing a 20-lb vest.


It's been a while since I've really trained after finishing a course & cruise, but I know I can do it. And with 30 days before Memorial Day gets here, it is a perfect time to start right away.


What goals have you set to achieve this year? Let us know @NinjaForLifeHQ

Health Tech Watch VR

However, there are always going to be days where it is hard to stay motivated. Luckily, making it a fun game to compete can keep us moving, specifically with the following two:   VR - games like Beat Saber on Meta/Oculus Quest VR can really get you moving. And since I have family & friends that have it, we can compete with each other as well. You can read more about it at https://welcome.gamerwarrior.com/2022/04/ultimate-beat-saber-vr-challenge.html Watch - I was hesitant to wearing a watch again. Then my health insurance plan had a program where I could earn an Apple Watch for close to free, so I gave it a shot.

Healthy Sweet Lemonade Limeade Recipe

Years ago I was clueless when it came to staying in shape. Luckily I've had time to learn a lot over the years with some motivation & knowledge from books like: Bigger Leaner Stronger for men (Thinner Leaner Stronger for women) by Mike Matthews . You can listen on Audible , and the eBook or physical book helps to visualize the movements. So when COVID-19 happened I was prepared to stay healthy through the year. In February I had just finished my fastest 5K race ever, & also had trained myself to complete the Murph Challenge on Veteran's Day. Staying at home meant more time to experiment, even with drinks such as a Mixology class that I took. I try to simplify my household & use what I already have. My superpower is using it up before expiration at all costs. We had a Ninja blender that was gifted a while back, & I knew we had to try it out. I've always had a sweet tooth, & I always pictured myself starting a lemonade stand business at a kid. I got to ex
