DragnFly Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Tomorrow starts the beginning of the month of August. I had an idea for a challenge this month. This challenge is rather simple, although interesting. Throughout this month, just try something different. Something than you normally would not do. If you feel like it, you may reply here throughout the month with your experiences, share it at the end of the month or just keep it to yourself. That is all. Some possible ideas: If you are a fan of rap music... then perhaps try listening to a variety of country music during the month.If you are an atheist, try attending various church typesIf you normally do not exercise, try working some exercise into your schedule.If you normally do not read books, then try hitting your local library. Though feel free to come up with your own, as these are mere suggestions. The idea is to expand your horizons by trying something new or different.

Napalm Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'd do this, but I'll end up givving up the second week and eventually forgetting about it alltogether. But hey, if it counts as something, I'll start working for my first time ever. So I guess I could start spending more, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Honestly I can't think of anything :P Of your possible ideas, 1. I listen to all kinds of music.2. I'm agnostic but still have to go to church sometimes.3. I don't normally exercise but I have already been exercising a bit.4. I normally read a lot. And I just fail at thinking of anything else.

Maybe I'll lurk and see what ideas other people come up with :P Well lets see... You could volunteer some of your time, helping the less fortunate.If you attend a protestant church, try a catholic one.If you normally do not eat many vegetables or fruits, try adding more to your diet. Or try eating healthier in general.You could try taking up a new hobby.Spend some time learning about historic events. Maybe attend some historic re-enactments/renaissance faires.If you normally do not cook a lot, try cooking more often and from scratch.If you tend to watch modern movies, then try watching some old hollywood movies.

Tesset Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Alright then. Starting tomorrow. 10 per post. That will be my August challenge. Let's do this. (I'll either get buff, give up, or stop posting.)

champion Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Instead of starting to do something, I'll stop doing something. :thumbup: I'll try to not drink soda for at least the month of August. This will probably be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I like the 10 per post thing, well it can be applied for anything. :smile: But I'm not going to do that. I am going to get a job, hopefully, by the end of August. If this is so, your buddy Gio's gonna be loaded*. :cool: *being a relative term, of course "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Duff Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm going to cheat, cause this is my last week of work. But I'll start on the 5th of August, and I'll run every morning and start doing pushups and ab exercises every day. Also, I need to start eating healthier. I usually find myself snacking all day (not the healthiest snacks; just today I ate triscuits, salami, and cheese for about an hour). | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussetAlpha Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 After not going to school since the beginning of June, I' guess I'll go to school around August 22nd. That sounds good. OH WAIT.. I can't do these kinds challenges for some reason in all seriousness. Too hard for me.

champion Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Doing the 10 per post thing is good, but it's easy to forget about or quit because of how inconsistent it is. Try the 100 Pushups training program. I'm at the start of week 4 (although I had to redo a week). It's definitely helped improve my upper body strength.

I plan on starting that tomorrow, and running every other day. I'm not sure how long, but I want to be a better rower, and arms and legs are key. Anyone know of any good back workout that doesn't require any special equipment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crocefisso Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've noticed a recurring out of shape/wanting to do more exercise theme on this thread. I can't really apply that to me, but I should probably eat less liquorice. It's like my Achilles heel.

Duff Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Since I still have all week until I start my little workout, I'll have time to think it over. I hear long distance running not only burns fat but burns muscle, and I'm trying to build a bit of muscle. So I think I may just do sprints at my track every morning. I hear those are better if you want to do cardio but keep more muscle. I don't think I'll be taking any type of protein supplements. Those taste nasty as heck to me. After my sprints, I'll come home and do push ups, crunches/varied ab workouts, planks, and side planks. I'm real optimistic at this point, but I have a feeling I will want to sleep in instead of wake up at 6 am. D: | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
