Instead, I'm setting myself some exercise challenges for the next six weeks. I'm not putting specific dates on any of them, because some are weather-dependent, but I want to do all of them before the end of July.
They are:
- Walk the half-marathon course
- Ride 50 km
- Have two weeks where I go to the gym six times (like I used to)
- In one week, swim for half an hour, three times
- Try a new form of exercise I've never done before - maybe a group class?
- Learn to use six machines at the gym I've not used before
I'm hoping this will make the doldrums of winter a little more interesting, as well as pushing my fitness levels a bit further.

The winter challenge sounds like a great idea. Nothing like mixing things up to keep yourself interested. I'd like to try a new class but all the ones at my gym that I don't do already need co-ordination!
oh Sue sad to hear u may not get to do the half marathon heres hoping the weather will be good on the day and u decide to carry on ith it...the buzz is incredible. Your winter challenge is awesome maybe I should do something similar. Have a good week.
Great idea with the challenges, it's so easy to get stuck in a rut.
Have fun:)
These challenges sound like great fun!!
6 machines! wooo hooo go you, could be interesting ay.
I agree, the doldrums of the winter brrrrs really can be counterproductive when it comes to exercise, but the fact that you have set great challenges is a fantastic way to drive you. Hope you have a great week Sue :)
Wow, those are great ideas! I might steal some for my next challenge. Or maybe wait until winter, because right now it is 35 DEGREES C HERE.
Those are great challenges. I think I might take number 5 and 6 for myself.
This does sound like a great plan, and a great way to fight winter boredom!
