To break the ice, we recommend answering the following questions:
What's your name? Joseph Freni
How you were introduced to STREND? I was looking online for a group that
promoted fitness challenges because I love competing, luckily, I stumbled
upon the STREND website.
Have you ever competed in a STREND Fitness Challenge? I have never competed
in a STREND fitness challenge, but hope to do so in the near future.
If so, which competition(s)? I have competed in the Gold's Gym Ultimate
Fitness Challenge twice (teams of four) and my group came in 1st place both
years (I carried the team, j/k). The fitness competition included (in rapid
succession, and in this order):
1.) Complete a spinning class for 15 minutes
2.) Complete an aerobics class for 15 minutes
3.) Bench Press
4.) Machine curl
5.) Leg Press
6.) tricep push down
7.) pushups (in a minute)
8.) sit-ups
9.) run for 15 minutes (as many miles as you can run)
*needless to say, I was pretty dead at the end of this competition, but it
is very rewarding to say that you did it and also to receive first place
trophies two years in a row.
