The following is a dice dare designed around static hold (stress) positions. You will need a timer of some sort (hopefully one that beeps) and a regular die. The workout is designed to take one hour; the punishment length depends on how well you do with the workout.

As with any dare on this site, you can change things to your liking; particularly, in this dare, the total workout length adjusted to your level of fitness.

Also, instead of rolling for the punishment, you can simply choose the punishment from the list that you'd least like to do. That would motivate you to do your best at the primary workout.

Enjoy and be safe!

Stress Position Workout w/ Punishment

WORKOUT:

Step 1: Roll one die. (see below for description of exercises)

1. pushup position: hold the "up" push-up position; keep good form!
2. leg lift position: on your back, legs together; raise them 6" off the floor and hold it
3. wall-sit position: back against the wall, legs bent; like you are sitting on an invisible chair
4. arm-raise position: arms straight out from your side, parallel to the floor, holding a sneaker/boot in each hand
5. crab walk position: sit on the floor, then using just your hands and feet, hold your ass up and your body parallel to the floor
6. statue position: stand up; keep your left foot on the ground; put your left hand (palm) on your chin; raise your right knee to meet your left elbow (do not let your right foot rest on your left knee); and put your right hand behind your back. (note: you can also switch all lefts/rights in the description in order to exercise both sides)

Step 2: Set a timer for 3 minutes. Get into position and hold the position for 3 minutes. If you break position, stop the timer and note the remaining time.

Step 3: Take a 2 minute rest (or longer, if you don't manage to hold the previous position for the full 3 minutes)

Repeat steps 1-3 for an hour (so, 12x through all steps). Essentially, every 5 minutes you should reroll for a new position (step 1), do three minutes of that position (step 2), and two minutes of rest (step 3). When you are done, total up all the remaining times from step 2 that you couldn't do. This is the total punishment time you acquired.


PUNISHMENT:

If you held managed to complete each exercise without failure, congratulations, you don't have to do any punishments and you are done.

Most likely, though, you failed at holding one or more of those positions for the full 3 minutes. In that case, you need to be punished so you'll try harder next time.

You should have calculated how much time you failed at doing. Call that total number of seconds (T). To determine your punishment, roll one die:

1. cold shower: take a cold shower for (T) seconds
2. running: you will run (outside or on a treadmill) for (T) seconds; the catch is, you will put dry rice in your sneakers before you start, and you may not wear socks
3. pushups/situps: you will do a total of (T) pushups/situps; start with pushups; when you tire, switch immediately to situps and continue your count; then back to pushups, etc. Do not stop for longer than 1 minute until your count reaches (T).
4. cornertime: hold a coin to a wall with your nose for (T) seconds; dropping the coin means you start time over again
5. more stress position workout: round (T) UP to the nearest 5 minutes; return to the top of this dare and redo the workout for (Tmin) more minutes, accumulating another amount of punishment time if you fail; re-roll for a new punishment as needed when you finish that round
6. same as #5

Note, that if you roll a 5 or 6, it is possible that this dare could go on a long time for you, so hopefully you're lucky with your punishment roll!
