The Results Are In!

Challengers,

We came, we saw, we shoulder pressed like maniacs. Over two weeks ago, twenty-nine strong people with big hearts came together to count their shoulder presses and other exercise reps in support of Sarah Robles, America's Strongest Woman. Whether it was through crunches, squats, or handstands, together we showed that when one person sets out to achieve a personal best, personal bests become possible for us all. And now, to the podium!

All told, we accomplished 9,585 reps. Thirteen of us made it beyond the 50% mark, while ten of us achieved 100% or more. Great accolades go to the brawny top three finishers, Tom W. (1005 reps), Kaitlyn B. (970 reps), and Ron A. (705 reps). Each of them will receive something more unique than a medal, they'll receive a sleek von Hottie branded t-shirt. Not even Michael Phelps gets that kind of sponsorship. A special mention goes to the omniscient Noriko W., who will win a von Hottie special item of her choice for accurately predicting 9,500 total reps, just 85 short of the end total. Group hugs and high-fives to the entire team for your efforts. Good game, friends!

While the glow of the Olympic Games is still upon us, let us turn our attention to future challenges. We've just announced our newest partnership with Yoga Journal, a super-fit 21-day yoga video challenge designed to exercise your mind and body from the inside out. We hope you'll join us at the starting line on September 10th. Until then, it's time to sign up for more personal goals, or even better, create your own challenge and we'll join you! And, if you've got a bright idea for a big challenge, we'd love to hear from you. All relevant links below.

Thanks again for your lending your muscle power and Olympic spirit to Sarah Robles' cause. Keep shoulder pressing, it's only four short years until Rio!

Love,
von Hottie and Social Workout
