ebm1224 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 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?

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. also checking out angry birds workout Quote ​Picture unavailableMissing: Last seen Trying to kill her boyfriend while mumbling something about loving her boyfriend while holding her head saying “MAKE IT STOP!!!â€If you have Seen her plz check out my facebook account for update to the upcoming kickstarter for the book Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bzsteve Link to comment
Waldo Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 You kinda have to start with an epic goal and work back from there.For me winning = Quote currently cutting battle log challenges: 21,20, 19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 don't panic! Link to comment

Vision: a visual ending to the over all goalFocus goal: what do i need to work on sort of a midpointChallenge: where i'm having a problem finding and deconstruct workouts etcEmulate 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 Quote ​Picture unavailableMissing: Last seen Trying to kill her boyfriend while mumbling something about loving her boyfriend while holding her head saying “MAKE IT STOP!!!â€If you have Seen her plz check out my facebook account for update to the upcoming kickstarter for the book Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bzsteve Link to comment
