The Fit Film Challenge - Phase 1

While we are cooped up inside, I've decided now is an excellent time to rewatch all 23 Marvel movies.

Rather than watch them in order of theatrical release, I've decided to watch them in the chronological order of events.

Since, on the surface, this seemed like the laziest possible use of my time, I've devised a way to make this an easy form of exercise for adults and kids alike.

I'm coming up with fitness challenges for each film. Each film will be assigned 2 exercises. That way it's easy to remember what you need to do when the time comes. Each exercise will be attached to a cue, some visual (like good guys punching bad guys) some audio (like dialogue or soundtrack). There will be a bonus for each film too that is usually a longer duration or higher rep cue. There will also be a "hero status" cue that should be pretty brutal.
​
Follow along and kill your boredom with fun movies and intermittent exercise!
