So here we are getting ready for our next challenge. I am no different, plans are in place, now to set some goals, attribute points, and get my awesome on! Goal One: C25K My main goal for this challenge is running. No I am not becoming a scout, rangers need to run down their prey, and not just run [away ]. Towards the end of my last challenge I had started doing some running, and found that I liked it. I want to run more. This is also one of my Epic Quest fitness goals. So I am going to do a c25k and learn to run, even if only at a pace of a turtle in a walking frame. Scoring: 3 runs/week is a Critical Hit 2 runs/week is a Hit 1 run/week is a Block 0 runs/week is a miss This is about endurance and determination here. So that translates to stamina, and constitution. Sta +3 Con +1 Goal Two: Strength I think I got over excited about doing lots of strength stuff last challenge. I struggled to do my programme effectively, so time to rethink my strength building in terms of my current abilities with an eye for future skills. I did find out something last challenge. I love burpees. Yes I am that sort of crazy. They really work the whole body in a very short period. I have adapted the BBWW to be a warm up for further exercise. The Warm Up is as follows: Max second Plank 5 x Burpees 15 x Bodyweight Squats 5 x Push Ups 10 x Lunges 15 x One Arm Row 20 x Jumping Jacks If work, family, depression, illness or study are getting on top of me then this will be my minimum acceptable strengthe workout. Done Three times per week. My full strength workout will be based on the Pre Armstrong programme with one kettlebell and one hammer exercise added to the mix. This way I get the benefits of the three different workouts in one routine. Scoring: 3 full workouts/week Critical Hit 2 full workouts/week Hit 1 full workout/week Block 3 Warm Ups/week [no workout] Dodge 0 Warm/workout per week Miss Strength and Constitution will be boosted here. The warm ups will give me the +1 Con, with the workouts giving me a max of +3 Str. Con+1 Str+3 Goal Three: Shrink that Body This goal is all about my body getting smaller. Dropping bodyfat percentage, kilos, centimetres. All three count. For this I will measure myself at the end of the challenge in addition to my regular monthly measurements. I will continue my macros tracking from last challenge. With the following modifications, Carbs 35%, Fats 35%, Protein 30%. Ideally I am aiming for full thirds, but MFP only counts by 5 percentile points. This will be a weekly average, as usual a leeway of 5% either way is acceptable. Starting measurements: Body Fat% - 31.06% Weight - 113.7kg Waist - 115cm Scoring will be a bit different here. My Macros tracking will give me one point to wisdom, For each of the three target areas I shrink in I will gain one point for Constitution. Con+3 Wis+1 Side Quest: Minis As before 3 points will be awarded randomly for completing the RPG Fanatics minis. The Ranger's Minis giving me the points as per usual. Random+3
