Ideas for New Challenges

After a day of barely moving from my bed, I'm feeling a lot better and even caught up on my training with a nice, easy recovery session during lunch.

I'm obviously back on the keen streak because I'm already thinking of ideas for things I can do next month even though I'm only 1-and-a-bit weeks into my current challenge.

Ideas for challenges:

Fitness Challenges

• Crossfit Month. I have very mixed feelings about crossfit. On the pro side, it looks as though it is a good way to push through to a new level of fitness, and appears to have a good community feel. On the con side, my feel from reading articles of it online that it is a little culty and may be a bit over the top on the competitive side of things. Overall I'd like to try it before I make a judgement! There is a box 5 miles down the road from me.
• Kettlebell classes. I haven't really used kettlebells in workouts, but they intrigue me as a good way to keep fit. My boyfriend attended local classes that he thought were great. They are apparently a little pricey, but the quality of the classes are superb, and that is what counts. I'd be keen to learn the art of the kettlebell workout from the experts.
• 30 Days of Yoga. I've tried and failed this many times; it's difficult to make myself do yoga every day. Perhaps blogging about it will help me be consistent, and I could have a pose each week that I want to work on to keep focus.
• A mile a day. Now I'm getting into the running, I'm entertaining the idea of doing a running challenge. Maybe 2 in a row is a bit keen though. Maybe I'll save this one for December because running is one of those things you can do wherever you are.

Wellbeing Challenges

• Meditation Month. This is more a general wellbeing challenge. I'm rubbish at meditating, and I don't do it enough. Maybe having a challenge on it will inspire me to practice and make it part of my routine.

Diet Challenges

• Gluten Free Month. Gluten intolerance is something that runs in the family, I've flirted with a gluten free diet, but would be keen to go full out for a month to experiment with gluten free options, and see if gluten really is something I have a sensitivity to.

I'm excited to try some of these over the next few months!
