Hello there, Druids. This is my 3rd challenge. I started with building new habits in my 1st and then using these habits to lose body fat with the Adventurers in my 2nd. The reason that I came to the Druids is so that I can start to: Main quest: Build habits that will protect my body and mind from harm. Harm to the body and mind comes in many forms: injury, illness, stress, anxiety, etc. I am not saying that this challenge will completely eliminate these things from my life, but it will give me the tools to prevent them as well as a means to deal with them when they do arise. Success in this main quest will be measured by the grades I receive in my goals. I expect myself to manage all Bs at minimum. Goals: Meditate at least 15 minutes every day. (2 CON and 2 WIS) I have read a little on meditation and it's benefits, but I have never tried it before. I will be experimenting with the various different types of meditation to find which is the best way for me. This is probably my most important goal of this challenge as it will improve both my mental and physical health. Grading (Days): A- 40+. B- 36-39. C- 32-35. D- 28-31 . F- Less than 28. Complete 2 hours of DDP Yoga every week. (3 DEX and 2 STA) I know it's not a traditional form of Yoga but it's the one that intrigues me the most and will still offer the benefits that traditional yoga does (flexibility, core strength, controlled breathing, etc). Grading (Total Hours): A- 12+. B- 11-12. C- 10-11. D- 9-10. F- Less than 9 Follow MobilityWOD every day. (2 DEX) This guy (Kelly Starrett) has been repeatedly recommended on this forum for diagnosing and addressing mobility issues. http://www.mobilitywod.com/ I plan to start at his very first video and work through all of his mobility WODs day to day. Grading (Days): A- 40+. B- 36-39. C- 32-35. D- 28-31 . F- Less than 28. Side quest Maintain a body fat % of below 15. (1 CON and 1 CHA) I have never tried to maintain weight before. In the past I was either aiming to lose it or eating whatever I pleased (and inevitably gaining it). I want to stay at around 15% so I'll be counting calories to do so. Current weight and body fat %- 177lbs at 12% Grading: A- Below 15%. B- 15-16%. C- 16-17%. D- 17-18%. F- Over 18%. Life quest: Create an Epic Quest/Life List/Bucket List. (2 WIS) A very important life quest for me. I will be looking to figure out everything I want to do with my life and then posting it on these forums at the end of the challenge. This will give me perspective and allow me to work out how and when I plan to do everything! Grading: A- Created an Epic Quest. B- Created most of an Epic Quest. C- Created around half on an Epic Quest. D- Started creating an Epic Quest. F- Did nothing. Thank you for reading, and I can very safely say that I am looking forward to Monday. Let's go Druids!
