Shackleton's Exercise Rules
Official Rules for Shackleton’s Exercise
The contest consists of performing a minimum of 50 push-ups and 25 crunches (or sit-ups) a day, every day of the year except Sundays (which shall remain optional). The push-ups and crunches/sit-ups must be performed in good-faith effort and should be performed following the guidelines on the e-how website located at: http://www.ehow.com/how_3190_proper-push-.html and http://www.ehow.com/how_3191_abdominal-crunch.html
The push-ups may be performed with knuckles rather than palm-down.
Additional push-up variants are allowed to achieve specific muscle definition (see e-how tips located on above website).
The contest begins on January 2, 2006 (or on the day that you first read this and begin the exercises, but in no event shall begin later than January 15) and shall end on December 31, 2006.
For the purposes of this competition, a "day" is the time from when you arise in the morning to the time you retire at night. It is not limited to a 24 hour period and accordingly does not terminate at 12 midnight. You may perform your exercises past 12 midnight for the preceding calendar day with no penalty.
If you miss a day, you may make up that missed day on the following day by performing double the exercises (100 push-ups and 50 crunches/sit-ups). You may not miss more than two consecutive days (resulting in 150 push-ups and 75 sit-ups on the third day).
You may not miss more than four days in a given calendar month.
If you miss more than two consecutive days or more than four days in a month, you forfeit the competition subject only to waiver by the majority of participants.
Winners of the contest will consist of those participants who fully complete the above requirements.
There shall be no limit to the number of winners.
The prize for the winners shall be determined by the participants but in no event shall be less than what a reasonable and prudent person would consider a cool prize.
Optional Amendments:
Increase the daily crunch/sit-up requirement to 50
Require each participant to contribute something to the winners prize(s)
Have a trip be the prize (snow trip, camping, etc.)
Strongly encourage attendance at Big Sur camping trip this summer (Date TBD)
