Let it be known that 2016 is the year of asskickery. Yes, that's a word. Shut up. Main Quest. My main quest is to develop my confidence and physical health/fitness to the point where my low self esteem no longer holds me back from living life the way I'd like to. Main Objective for this 4WC. Make a start on working towards my fitness goals for this year - check the spoiler section in my sig for details. Quest 1 - Bringin' flexy back. +4 DEX Inspired by reading this article on NF, and the fact that my flexibility is pretty disproportionate to the rest of my overall health. I will do at least two minutes of stretching every day. Quest 2 - The ever present pushup goal. +4 STR, +1 STA Nothing new here, I'm aiming to increase the amount of pushups I can do in 5 sets by 1 rep each week until I get to 100. My previous record was 60, so this challenge I aim to reach 64 push-ups in five sets. Increase pushups by 1 rep each week. Quest 3 - This totally counts as Jedi training. +2 STA, +1 CON, +1 STR Yeah, blame Star Wars for this one. I've always wanted to be able to do handstands but have a fear of being upside down. This also applies to my goal of being able to do forwards and backwards rolls. It's gonna be a long process of baby steps which I'll start by doing wall plank practice 4 times a week. Quest 4 (life quest) - Earning my pen license. +1 CHA, +1 WIS My handwriting is embarrassing. Not just messy, I could deal with messy, and I swear it's getting worse. Time to sort it out. For this challenge I will practice handwriting 3 times a week. Grading - Weekly pass/fail system Each quest will be assessed on a pass/fail basis each week. At the end of the challenge stat points will be awarded based on a percentage system. 4 Weeks success = A (100%) 3 Weeks success = B (75%) 2 Weeks success = C (50%) 1 Weeks success = D (25%) 0 Weeks success = F (0%)

Fellow Rebellers I need help. I am following the Hand Stand Challenge http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2013/10/24/how-to-handstand-better-than-luke-skywalker/, but having trouble with wall planks. I can do a plank for a minute, but cannot climb my feet off the wall. ANy suggestions???? This is my second day trying.
