December Self-Challenges

[muck_a_luck]

I cannot believe it will be December on Wednesday.

So! It is now time for the December Challenge Declaration Post!

Challenge yourself for December! Find a fitness goal that you want to achieve, that you can achieve with diligence in one month.

Declare your goal by December 1, then on January 1 we will have a roundup of how we all did!

It can be simple, like being able to run a mile by the end of the month (even slowly!).

It can be progressive, like moving from wall pushups to floor pushups.

It can be process oriented, like trying to exercise 25 of the next 31 days.

Try to make it something YOU want that is challenging but doable.

If you want to participate and you just can't think of anything, check out what everybody else posts, then copy them! :D

I also offer a generic challenge: Achieve 20 pushups in a row at 45 degrees or lower.

I am doing two main forms of exercise these days and these are my goals to be accomplished by December 23 (I will be at a congress from December 26 to December 30 and don't expect to get much exercise done from December 24 to January 1), so in about 3 weeks:

* running: run uninterrupted for 2,500 meters = 5 rounds, however slowly

* weight-lifting: write down what I can lift for these exercises on November 30: bench press, squat, dumbbell row, bicep curl, and shoulder press. By December 23, be able to press 4 kilograms more on the shoulder and bench press, curl 4 kilograms more, squat 10 kilograms more, and row 3 kilograms more. All of these need to be done for 10 times. I have no idea how realistic that is, but we shall see and I'll adjust this goal as necessary :)
