I’m loving this challenge series. It combines two of my very favorite things: exercise and everything comic book.
I’m making a change to how the challenge is delivered for this phase. For the next 6 movies, we will be assigning one exercise to one cue for each film. I’m splitting up the body across the week with the goal of totally exhausting one muscle group per day until we bring it all together for the Avengers: Age of Ultron.
There are 3 levels: Sidekick, Hero, and Avenger. The variation of the exercise will progress with each level.
Stick with me and we’ll get through this the only way we can: together.
IRON MAN 3
Every time some says “Mandarin”
Sidekick Level: 5 Squats
Hero Level: 10 Squats
Avenger Level: 10 Lunges per Leg
THOR 2: THE DARK WORLD
Every time any character say “the Aether”
Sidekick Level: 10 Rows
Hero Level : 10 Single Arm Rows
Avenger Level: 10 Single Arm Rows with a 3 second lowering phase
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
Every time any character says “Bucky“,
Sidekick Level: 5 Hip Thrusts
Hero Level : 10 Hip Thrusts
Avenger Level: 10 Single Leg Hip Thrusts per leg

When any character says “I am Groot”
Sidekick Level: 5 Push Ups
Hero Level: 10 Push Ups
Avenger Level: 10 Feet Elevated Push Ups
BONUS: Cry when Groot says “We are Groot”
