I’m late posting but I promise I did it yesterday!!

I followed @Hyrum_collier’s lead and went with the COVID-19 themed “cones” - tubs of Lysol wipes!

I wish I could have joined you in the morning @PickleballPhil

Maybe when I’m all caught up on sleep. Orrrr… maybe not until this challenge is over :laughing:

I’m so so so glad that you chose to join us! One of the main reasons I built this particular forum Elevate Pickleball was so that people can share their goals they are working on… or challenges they are doing… and invite others in the community to join them.

One of the most valuable components of a community like this, is accountability. Even if we all don’t know each other (yet) we know we have one thing in common… a passion our beloved sport of pickleball!!

I hope that everyone will not only stick with us through these brutal 19 days, but also come back afterwards… with a new goal in mind! Anyone can start their own post. And then keep coming back and checking in, on the daily!

We’ve got each other’s backs!!

Started with pickleballs for cones but it was too windy and they rolled everywhere so then just did the basic essential chalk Xs to complete!

More out of shape than I thought I was. Side walk chalk for me. Doing the evaluation of my routine this morning I should do my challenge in the morning. I usually wake up before my alarm and I tell myself I should get up and walk but I find an excuse to lay there.I hope to use this challenge to make my mornings more productive. I did this challenge just before dark because I watched it to late this morning to do it then. My biggest problem is I don’t have a wall I can bounce balls off of especially before 6 in the morning

Glad to have you join the party over here, Fernando!

Your Instagram posts and stories have been fun to follow. Keep up the great work!

Great exercise! I’m 65 and haven’t done bunny hops in maybe 55 years! That was a superb challenge. I obviously just started and can’t wait to get to day 2 of the challenge. Thanks!

Day 1 was the only one I have missed, so I went back today (5/15) and did it.


I sweated more on this one than I have on any challenge yet! It sure got my heart rate up and I was dripping in sweat!

Thank you @PickleballPhil for a great workout!
