Challenge idea's for where i am at right now?

[bzald]

I'm average when it comes to fitness and im working up to good then great not sure how long it takes, with that said I'm looking for Challenge idea's that i can use. Now i would put this under the challenge section but im looking for idea's so i have nothing yet.

Challenge Defined:

Something with a recordable goal

Something that improves on what im doing

Something that is Challenging BUT is not so Challenging that i stop having fun

1) so no marathons, ninja runs, or murder runs yet

2) workouts that would improve my abs, hollywood body type

3) something fun? Hmm maybe I should define that

4) Should I be looking for a mentor or a trainer?

Here is my current workout:

Challenge Ten: Do all my workouts for the week (This was my first BIG Challenge but i failed it day before yesterday do from being sick)

a) Cattle bell 20 reps 3/11/2012

Mcrunch 10 reps 3/11/2012

c) Pushup's 10 reps 2 sets 3/11/2012

d) Raised Pushups 5 reps 3/11/2012

di) Handstand Pushups 5 reps 3/11/2012

dii) Single-arm clean-and-press with 36lbs kettlebell-10 reps (50 reps left)3/11/2012

diii) Single-arm clean-and-press with 36lbs kettlebell-10 reps (50 reps Right)3/11/2012

div) Walking 5mins (30mins a day)3/11/2012

dv) Cattle bell pumps left arm 10 reps (50 reps right)3/11/2012

dvi) Cattle bell pumps right arm 10 reps (50 reps right)3/11/2012

Thoughts ideas challenges?

Thanks

i think thte question you have to ask youself is "what do i want to be able to do?" what is an active activity that you would like to try - or would like to get better at? do you want to run a marathon one day? do you want to bike across europe? think of something BIG and FUN that you'd have to be super fit to accomplish. then think of a baby step that would push you in that direction.

another idea: if you really want that hollywood body look, why not try googling the workout routines of your favorite celebrities - maybe your challenge can be to emulate one celebrity workout per week at least twice a week?

Thanks, Yea i dont really know what i want as far as big end goal? As steve posted about dragon killing, I dont really have a fitness challenge like that most fitness challenges if they where a dragon i more likely to say hi to then kill lol. Now outside of fitness i have some solid challenges business/job/book etc, what i would love to do is combine my fitness into say business a off hand example would be.

by doing 50 pushups a day I increase my energy by 10% etc, I do like your hollywood workout idea im already checking out http://www.hollywoodphysique.com hmm end game goal/Challenge could be to workout with them. two marathons im looking at are http://solar-eclipse-marathon.com (on the day the world suppose to end =P) and http://www.petra-marathon.com/ which is a run through the Take the trip to incredible Jordan and the unique ciy of Petra for a fantastic marathon adventure.

You kinda have to start with an epic goal and work back from there.

For me winning =

Thanks for your help, while im still having problems I.E. im still not sure how to take a part a workout to turn it into a set of challenges which is what im working on.

Vision: a visual ending to the over all goal

Focus goal: what do i need to work on sort of a midpoint

Challenge: where i'm having a problem finding and deconstruct workouts etc

Emulate rolemodels: who has done what i done (ebm1224 why not try googling the workout routines of your favorite celebrities and Waldo's picture)

There still a few things i need to work on there
