As you build your fitness level, my hope would be that you start to seek out new challenges for yourself.
Your environment starts to look different as you begin to realise your physical potential.
This might be taking up a new sport or activity - or one that you have not done for years.
This might be as simple as running up a flight of stairs or getting all the way to the top of a hill you once would have had to stop on.
You might find new ways to fit your favourite exercises into your day, or sign up for a charity challenge for a cause that really means something to you.
This is exactly the sort of thing i am trying to sum up with the term 'Everyday Athlete'.
After our new Saturday fitness session, i decided to take on a little challenge of my own. The running track at Whitemans Green is now marked out, and i've wondered for a while how i'd get on doing a bearcrawl for a lap!
The heat must have got to me, as i decided to give it a shot - a little nervous, a little excited!
A couple of times i wanted to stop for a breather but managed to push on. The result - 400m in 5 mins and 38 secs of bearcrawl bliss!!
What's your challenge? Are you going to take your shot at what you want?
Here is an amazing story of a boy who did. Watch and be inspired!
