I am all about challenging myself. Can I go farther? Can I do more reps? Can I beat my previous time? Can I do more without being as exhausted?
During the months of April and May I challenged myself to complete the Couch to 5K program. I can't tell you how many times I started that program, but I finally finished it. Now, I LOVE running. Yes, me. I.LOVE.TO.RUN!!! I have now taken my runs outside and it has become almost therapeutic. I can just let my mind wander and let it all out.
During the month of May I challenged myself to wake up at 5 am every weekday morning and 6 am every weekend morning to complete the squat, crunch, and muscle challenges (all found on facebook)..
I also completed the "May Exercise Challenge" found here. I went from nearly dying from the modified version of the burpees on day 1 to doing full sets of burpees by the end of the month.
So, now that the month of June is here, I will be redoing the squat challenge (have I mentioned how much I love squats) and adding in the ab challenge.
I have had problems with sit ups in past challenges because of an achy tailbone. My goal will be to find a way to make it work.
How will you challenge yourself?
