October Step-Up Challenge (AMRAP – Reps)

Week 4 (October 19 – October 25): accumulate 700 step-ups throughout the week

Step-ups can be performed on a 20” box or on any safe object of about the same height (chair, bench, a stack of plates, etc.). Any step-up reps performed throughout the week will count towards your weekly total. They can be in a workout, at the gym, from home, outside, anything counts! Just get it in within the week.

Log the number of step-ups you completed TODAY below. Then, on Saturday, note if you hit your weekly target of 700 step-ups accumulated throughout the week.

Full details for this challenge can be found on October 1st.
