May Challenge?
So I was browsing others' groups for a May challenge. I am late to the party!!! I think we could do one here - you can pick your own goal?? Ideas: Lose 5 pounds, exercise 5 times/week, eat 5 fruits & vegetables per day. I'd like to do all of the above... but need to keep it realistic too. Any takers?

Mental Demons
Just some thoughts for anyone out there who is feeling the same way. So, I am back after an extended absence. I started out in January and did quite well (I think 4 or 5pounds the first month), a few more pounds in February... then it started going downhill. Self-sabotage. I knew I couldn't get away "with just one" but I…

Challenge: Pushups! by Feb. 29
The last push-up challenge was a success! Some wanted to start the 100 pushups program, available here: http://hundredpushups.com/index.html No, you don't have to commit to doing 100! The challenge is to start at the appropriate number of pushups (they guide you through, you can start at 0) and then follow the program by…

Re-challenge for February. My goal is to increase my planks to two sets of 1.5 minutes each. Sounds reachable. Anyone else?

Challenge: increase planks by 50% by Jan. 31
Eventing Nation inspired me to start doing planks when it reported that in USOC athlete testing, Tiana Coudray held a plank position for 7 minutes. Whew! Are you ready to challenge yourself to increase your plank holding time by 50%? Right now I hold for 1 min+, 3 times. Goal is to hold for 1.5 minutes, 3 times.

Challenge: 30 pushups by Jan. 31
OK! Anyone who wants to push themselves (up from the floor, using their arms!) can join this challenge! It is up to you whether you do 30 in a row or not. I can currently do two sets of 15, or 20 in a row, but not 30. Challenge... accepted!

Stretching hip abductors (outsides of hips)?
I do a cable hip abduction exercise (see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvnR8CDb4BU) I find that I am quite stiff and struggle to do the exercise properly, or to the required reps. So I think this is from riding - but I haven`t noticed if there`s a difference if I`ve ridden dressage or jumping or length of time…

Challenge?
So I noticed that this group message board isn't very active. I checked out the public message boards and noticed a lot of different challenges. Just wondering if anyone here would like a mini/COTH challenge? With 50 members, I'm sure we have have some very different goals, but probably we could each find a few others with…
