FINALLY!
The last day of this horrific suffering.
Maybe not so horrific as much as challenging, but, it’s all relative and relatives this time of year can be painful.
BF13DOXHKSC2016 has been a long 13 days of labor, but you found a way to read this blog-post, and that itself is a rewarding single calorie deficit.
And what better way to end any religious themed challenge than a birth?
I do believe it is the birthing that usually adds fuel to the fire of these grassroots cults.
So we’re gonna end this baby burning those shoulders considering your thigh gap possibly has it’s own zip code now, if not it’s own Zillow Zestimate.
Without any further typing skills thank you for playing along with this unique 2016 Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering.
It’s almost as if holidays aligned, yet all the stars were on a cocaine binge the 1970’s through MC Hammer pants.
Oh, by the way, Princess Leia’s dead.
And the guy who doesn’t want to be a solo when he wakes up.
Yeah he’s dead too.
And Han Solo’s dead. But just the fictional Solo. Not Indiana Jones.
I heard the Messiah died too, but turns out it was Isiah winning Eastern Conference Player of the Week and Memphis Grizz died the slow death.
Not Jesus Christ.
Again.

DAY 2!
Happy Kwanzaa y’all!
If you’ve never done a (wo)man maker you’re in for a treat.
Spawn is leading the Kwanzaa charge today in our 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering Challenge.
Spawn is a bad-ass.
Spawn is also evil.
Spawn also loves to hurt.
Hence he is the perfect pairing for today’s challenge.
Here’s a quick video of a man maker from Gym Jones resident superhero trainer Mark Twight:

Merry Christmas!!
Today’s suffering challenge celebrates the continuation of a deadly old-age war question of who came first; Santa Claus, or Jesus Christ!
They battle it out every December, each vying for the peoples attention.
One wants all the commerce and wishes to unofficially nudge in on Halloween and Thanksgivings spotlight.
The other wants to continue to control the people’s weekend through a fictitious birthday (likely August or September as historians have noted – but hey, anything for a good selling book and story-line), and continue to divide the world of it’s 2,000 year old-stolen moral guidelines.
Where’s a old-school 7,000 year old Egyptian when you need one to settle this?
Or a dinosaur. Could someone get us a damn dinosaur to weigh-in?
None the less, we will honor Santa today on his 135th birthday.
135 Star Jumps!!!
Because you’re a rock star Mr. Claus!!
Just ask Mrs. Claus.
Unless you ask a Jehovah’s Witness.
Good luck to all, and to all a blood-thirsty, crimson colored, light-saber-battle for the ages!!!
Where is Prince when you need him?
Note: Prince did not celebrate Christmas as he was a Jehovah’s Witness 🙂
Fun Fact: Serena Williams is too!

Today marks the 4th of the 13 Days of Belley Fitness Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa 2016 Suffering challenge!!
I’ve become quite proficient at spelling Hanukkah and I think it’ll stick for life.
The workout challenge for Saturday is to perform 150 “Truth” Push-Ups and Chin-Ups.
By “Truth” I’m referring to full range of motion…
plus the spin on Wonder Woman’s Lasso Of Truth.
For the push-ups, simply perform hand release push-ups. They’re actually much easier than the constant supporting/tension variation.
Lay yourself onto the floor and push-up from the there to fullest extension.
For the chin-ups, either modify into a inverted row, or use some form of assistance if necessary (chair, box, bands, partner assist, jumping, etc.) to complete the full range of motion repetitions.
I’d recommend honoring Wonder Woman on her 75th birthday, and perform 75 reps of each the push-up and chin-up.
Or you can break it into as many reps as possible of each, alternating, until you reach the total of 150 reps.
The challenge is in your court!
Good luck!!!

Holy crap!
Day 5 of the Challenge is here.
Not too many left.
Today we’re keeping with animal movements, swapping out the Spiderman Crawls for Panther Crawls.
Panther crawls are like a Spiderman crawl / Beast Reach hybrid.
You’ll see in the video below.
7 sets for 7 meters is the goal; roughly 23 feet of travel per set.
Good luck!!

Today’s movement for the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering Challenge of 2016 is the Spiderman Crawl.
I love this exercise and have probably done thousands of reps in my lifetime.
Luckily for you all that is required today is 12 sets of 26 reps (13 per side).
It may still sound like a lot but this movement may very well loosen up some tight hips and cranky shoulders.
There’s a instructional exercise video below the image!

We’re all f^@%ed now!
Today’s challenge is brought you by a crazy man in a purple suit…
no, Prince is dead already.
It’s the Joker, and he doesn’t G.A.F.
So much so, that he’s looking to place you face down on the ground, balancing on your belly, waving your arms and legs frantically like a angel fallen to it’s death.
Inverted Snow Angels!
One of my personal favorites for making people ‘feel the burn’.
Good luck with all 666 Inverted Snow Angels.
Hands and feet must never touch the ground during your rep count.
Believe me, this movement sucks.
Good luck with the Joker!

Day 8 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016!!
Day 8 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016 is here!
Today’s challenge is pretty easy.
All you need is yourself and a little space.
The rep count is 500.
The amount of sets is based upon your current fitness level.
All you need to do is begin with Push-Ups, as many as you can bust out (you may want perform up to 2 minus your max), then, stand up and perform as many Squats as you possibly can in a row.
Someone may likely finish this in one set.
Some may take up to 50 sets.
In example,
Let’s say I complete 50 push-ups, then I complete 50 squats (50:50), then 30 push-ups, then 50 squats, 20 push-ups, 50 squats I am half way there (250 reps).
Finishing off with
15:35 x 5 sets.
15 Push-Ups:35 Squats multiplied by 5 sets = 250 final reps.
Not too bad!
So find you own rep count that works for you and give it a shot in your house in Pembroke, Marshfield, Duxbury, Kingston, wherever you are.
Good luck!

Day 9 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016!!
Today is Kwanzaa snatch glory in the 13 Days of Belley Fitness Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering challenge of 2016!
DAY 9!!!
Did you know the celebration of the 7 days of Kwanzaa began in 1966?
In honor of that year, we must dumbbell snatch 1,966 pounds in total.
May seem like a lot but when you break it down it’s actually quite simple.
If you’re lifting a 20# DB overhead in the one-arm snatch you need only complete 98 reps total.
And 98 reps is really only 49 per arm.
So, if you’re handling 20# DB shoot for 7 sets of 7 reps per arm.
If you’re handling a 50# DB go for 18 per arm.
983#DB’s just one per arm.
See how easy that is.
Please do not attempt a weight load anywhere near over 70# unless you’re used to lifting this weight over your head regularly…. self-liability ya know 🙂
GOOD LUCK!!!
Day 10 of the Belley Fitness 13 Days of Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa Suffering 2016!!
