CRAVING THAT COMPETITION FEELING?
Well it's time to get back on the competition floor of your HOME TURF. We are super excited to be launching
HOME GAMES 3.0
Took part in Home Games 1.0 or 2.0, saw your friends getting involved or just want to know more about Home Games 3.0 and sign up - you are in the right place!
After the success of our first two 'virtual' Turf Games where 4,000 people from 35+ countries took part in 5 workouts as a way to stay active and have some fun during lockdown - we are excited to be launching 3.0.
Over the past 12 weeks, it has more important than ever that we stay connected - albeit virtually - and adapt our workout routine so we can maintain some sort of normality in our lives.
With limited places to work out now - in your own home, backyard, park or a walk/run (in some countries), it has been very hard to find motivation or variety.
On Friday 12th June we are putting our third Turf Games 'spin' on the home workouts and launching HOME GAMES 3.0 - a bit of friendly competition with a Live! Leaderboard and chance to win some great prizes from our partners. This will be a series of 5 workouts over two weeks.
The difference - there will be THREE different divisions that you can enter
1. INDIVIDUAL BODYWEIGHT
OR
2. INDIVIDUAL 1 DUMBBELL or KETTLEBELL
AND/OR
3. MIXED PAIRS (1 male, 1 female)
Individual competition will have two categories
- Adults - age up to 35
- Legends (Masters) - age 35+
Mixed Pairs will have
- One open age category
N.B - If you are doing the KB/DB weighted division - in your profile on the website you sign up to, can you amend your last name to show what weight you are using. i.e Steve Smith (20kg KB). So if you last name is 'Smith' in the last name field on the website you would write - Smith (20kg KB) for example. This will allow people to gauge how they are doing on the leaderboard with the various weights everyone is using.
MIXED PAIRS INFO
Pairs are made up of 1 male and 1 female. This category will put one more layer to bring it closer to what a Turf Games comp is about - Tactics and Teamwork.
If you are currently living with or near the person you will team up with then great, however, we realise that some people won't be. The idea of this category is to encourage people to jump on a video call, communicate, discuss strategy and then execute the workout - staying connected in these times is more important than ever. The workouts will be programmed (the majority) where you will need to be doing them together over video so you can see what eachother is doing (Zoom, Facetime, Whatspp, Skype etc) - think You Go I Go and syncrho movements.
YES, you can enter as an individual and also a Mixed Pair - like many did for Home Games 2.0. The workouts for Individuals and Mixed Pairs will most often be a little different so you can sign up as an individual and also as a mixed pair and have twice the fun. However, you can't register for both individual competitions - you will need to choose one of them - Bodyweight or DB/KB.
This 'competition' is designed to push you that extra little bit further, keep moving, connect with others in the community and have some fun.
Like 1.0 and 2.0, this will be FREE to enter. There will be no need to film workouts, just submit your scores on our live scoreboard. We will work on an honesty system and trust everyone will enter accurate scores and complete movements correctly. However, we do encourage you to film the workouts and put them on Insta stories, tag us and our partners so we can give any feedback, give you encouragement and reshare your effort and spread the positive vibes.
Prizes will be awarded based on participation and selected randomly each week.
IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION - PLEASE READ
At a time when health should be paramount, please ensure you read the signs of your body. If you are feeling unwell at all, please do not take part in these games or workouts. While these workouts are for a 'score', we do not want people pushing themselves into the red zone each day. Listen to your body, have some fun with the workouts but don't put yourself in to a 'dark place' each time.
