“The Curse of Oak Island” TV Show Fitness Game

As we approach the premiere of the 10th Season of “The Curse of Oak Island” (next Tuesday night, November 15th!), I thought I’d share a little game I put together.

If you’ve watched the show, you know there are certain phrases they repeat frequently. 😉 So I thought I’d take advantage of that! (Fair warning, you won’t get much chance to sit down!)

***Obviously be careful and don’t hurt yourself! If you can’t do burpees or squats (for instance) feel free to modify 🙂

  • Anytime they’re recapping – walk in place (including for the show intro)
  • Archaeology Trailer/XRF area – hold plank the whole time they’re in there (you’re allowed breaks to do other actions if they start recapping or saying keywords 😉 )
  • Bobby Dazzler – 5 burpees
  • “Potentially” (as in “potentially important discovery” or “potentially historic find” 😉 ) – 5 pushups
  • Swamp – drink some water
  • Top Pocket Find – 10 squats
  • War Room – Hold Tree Pose the whole time they’re in there (switch sides at some point)

If you try it out, let me know what you think in the comments!

Fitness Gains

Last week I told you about my recent experiences with HIIT. Also last week, I shaved almost 3 minutes off my time for 5K! I don’t know that it was entirely an improvement in fitness, I think it was partially better pacing, but it still felt GREAT!

Something I haven’t mentioned here yet is my goal to do a pull-up (hopefully more than 1 eventually). It’s can be difficult for me to know how to track progress, because I’ve been working on this goal for a long time and I still can’t do my first pull-up. BUT, I can definitely lower myself a LOT slower on my negatives, and I can pull myself up part way.

Have you gotten your first pull-up yet? Or are you still trying? What are your tips? Tell me in the comments! 🙂
