I've been crusing the Midsummer Madness Fitness Challenge thread and feeling (1) inspired and (2) intimidated. A few of our club members are bravely participating (Go Lessara! Go DarB!) but there aren't a whole lot of people signed up in my 'weight class'. Plus, I'm just not that comfortable posting front, side and back pictures on the internet!

I started thinking what I'd like in a "fitness challenge" ...

1. A goal that will push my fitness comfort zone without injury.
2. A reasonable timeline ... short enough to feel attainable and long enough to create some real change. (8 - 12 weeks?)
3. Instead of counting inches or pounds lost, the idea would be to add time or intensity to my chosen activity in small increments each week.
4. Support and encouragement from others with a similar focus.
5. A lot of attention placed on loving the body I have while gaining strength, flexibility and endurance.

What do y'all think? Anyone interested in doing something like this with me? I'd appreciate all comments and ideas.
