Thor Holt - Get Action Fit http://thorholt.com Stop talking about it, find the fun, do it! Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:52:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Man Enough To Take Thor’s ‘Save Your Family’ Challenge? http://thorholt.com/take-thors-save-your-family-challenge-man-enough/ http://thorholt.com/take-thors-save-your-family-challenge-man-enough/#comments Fri, 16 Jul 2010 05:32:26 +0000 admin http://thorholt.com/?p=177 After discussing this with a buddy in the US the other day and reading his intense blog post  http://johnnybtruant.com/what-matters/ I was moved to create this ‘Save Your Family’ Challenge.

Because you know, being able to physically help people out of tricky situations if the need ever arose is a personal motivator for me to stay strong and fit, and I don’t mean fit to use a treadmill, I mean fit to push a car out of danger, carry an unconscious lady (aka heavy sleepin Wife ;-) out of a burning building or climb a tree with my kid under my arms to escape flash flooding…

These are just examples from my safety conscious mind (Katy says I should have Super Safety Man Y-Fronts on over my clothes :-) and I’m sure you could think of your own. Hey if you don’t believe this is a useful motivator to be in great shape just watch some news footage of tsunamis, floods, car wrecks and fire rescues.

I will put a video in here as soon as I’ve had a go at the Challenge – next week planned – in the meanwhile if you fancy ‘manning up’ and having a go, check this out!

1) Push the family car backwards ‘outta danger zone’, (Nissan X-Trail 4×4 in my case) 100-Metres as fast as you can (Wife Steering!) – score self 10 points just for finishing and another 10 points for every 30 seconds under 3 minutes. So finish in 1:30 and you are on 40 points for this section…

No REST!

2)Piggy back or Fire-fighter carry your Wife (or 150lb sandbag :-) from ‘burning building’ (she was steering the car & laughing at your toiling face – right about till she steered into a tree backwards ;-) as fast as you can over the 100 metres back to your start, then turn and get back to the car, because that’s where your sandbag (aka Baby) awaits a flood rescue…- score self 10 points for finishing and 10 for every 10 seconds under 2 minutes. So a finish in 1.17 would get you 50 points.

No REST…
3) Take your 15 KG or 33lb sandbag Baby (any bag will do but no strapping it to yourself) and climb an appropriate tree to escape the ‘flood’… now you’ve got 360 seconds here – score yourself 10 points per 3 metres climbed and you may climb the same tree repeatedly rather than risking life & limb by climbing giant redwoods!

Then post your score on the comments section and lets have fun but stay safe guys… if you fall or hurt yourself don’t even think about suing me ;-) use your own judgement and common sense, assess the risks and find a quiet car park for pushing the car, not a busy highway!
