Default September Challenge Idea

This is a challenge that they are doing at the gym I have access to at work. The Challenge is pretty simple

You have to complete 45 of the 52 items on the list in a month's time. (some of these are specifically geared towards the building the gym is in, but they could be modified easily). Things like 1000 crunches or 100 pushups can be completed over time.

Team it up with a nutrition portion of the challenge (because this will probably be the make or break for people) and you could have an interesting 30 day challenge for people to complete (and it wouldn't be hard to modify Og's sheet to fit the challenge I wouldn't think).

Here's the list:
Track Sprints (8 sides of the building)
10 minutes of boxing
5 minutes of jumping rope
Wallyball
Outdoor Cycling
40 flight of stair climbing
Step Class
Yoga Class
50 Basketball Layups
10 minutes stair climber
100 reps bench press
All Leg Machines 15 reps
All Upper body Machines 15 reps
Body Sculpting Class
30 minutes of weight lifting
100 pushups
20 minutes on the Elliptical Machine
11 laps around the track
500 jumping jacks
Racquetball
Pilates class
Stretching (15 MInutes)
5K Run/Walk
Safety Meeting (that's a no brainer, it's required).
20 minutes treadmill
250 body squats
lunges around the track (2x)
BP Weekly
Yard work
Outdoor Running
Swimming
64 OZ of water daily
stability ball workout
Outdoor walking
20 minutes Stationary bike.
exercise with a partner
Eat Fruit daily
Go to Local Park
100 Assisted Dips
Resistance band workout
Eat International Cuisine
1000 crunches
Self Defense
Body Composition
100 Free Throws
Limit Fat intake daily
view/take karate class
run/walk fastest mile
Hoola Hoop for 5 minutes
20 assisted pullups
learn five new exerises
Read a fitness magazine.

I'm willing to help run the challenge, but I think we need to modify the list so it fits our group because honestly I think we'd all pretty much blow through 30 minutes of weight lifting in one week.

SO give me ideas people.

Ideas for substitutions:

Try a BW only work out (substitute for Body sculpting Class)
Do Bleacher sprints
Do X number of DLS (to replace the machine work)
Do X number of Squats (to replace more machine work)
