As gyms have been closed and I'm sort of hesitant to go to the gym, I wanted to do some sort of exercise-related 30-day challenge. I just so happen to have won a kettlebell training book a few months ago, going over the benefits, uses, versatility, and all the different exercises you can do with …
Something I've always been amazed about is how someone can hold a plank position over 8 hours.. It's insane considering I can only manage about 1 to 1.5 MINUTES max. For the next 30 days, I'm going to be doing planks every day to see what happens. I'm hoping that a daily practice will improve …

This may sound like a strange challenge. But I am going to be doing a 30 day challenge where I don't procrastinate at work - at all. You may think that you already do this - but are there times you are at work and you just don't feel like starting that large project and …

I've decided to do a 30-day challenge to stop using social media. I've read a lot about people performing 'dopamine detoxes' and similar detox style methods of removing certain things from their life (such as social media, tv, notifications, emails, etc.). People have found this to improve their productivity, increase their will power, and be …
Ever since I completed my challenge to juggle 5 balls in 30 days, I've wanted to do the same challenge but with juggling clubs. I've never juggled clubs before, so I thought it would be a great challenge and a new skill to learn. My mum just happened to have a set of 3 clubs, …
Earlier this year, my partner and I wanted to see how cheap we could eat over a month, with the aim of spending less than $5 per day. If you would rather watch my experience of this challenge rather than read, check out the video below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cij3MKdaYEU At the start of the challenge, I posted …
I have been wanting to do a more physical challenge as my previous challenges have been focused more on mental aspects (stop complaining, wake up early, breaking a habit, and learning spanish). I've thought I would like to do something with running, and when a friend suggested they needed to get back into a running …
I have always wanted to be able to juggle 5 balls! So I thought it was a perfect opportunity to make it into a 30-day challenge! I can juggle 3 balls easily given years of practice. I first learnt to juggle 3 balls when I was in a permaculture village in Queensland. There were these …
I'll be competing in the Anytime Fitness 8 Week Challenge, which started on 3rd February 2020. For 2020, one of my goals is to reduce my body fat percentage to 15. And whilst I feel as though I could get there myself throughout the year, I thought that this challenge would be a great way …
I have recently purchased a cajon! I love the sound it makes and the ability to just play along to essentially any music. I bought this cajon from Rodrigo Percussion - http://www.linktr.ee/rodrigo_percussion. They make really nice quality cajons and have been doing it for years! What is a Cajón? A cajón (Spanish: [kaˈxon]; "box", "crate" or "drawer") is …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqFii1WPkTA A challenge that I found interesting which my partner recommended to me was to learn a language. I've chosen Spanish because it's a very common language and I would like to travel to South America in the future. I'll be learning Spanish every day for 30 days. I'll be completing this challenge with my …
To watch my video on this challenge, check it out below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIlrJIE1Hk8 I originally tried a 21-day no complaint challenge back in 2016. It was really fun. Every time I complained about something, I restarted the challenge. I failed 2 times very early, only getting a few days in each time. After the 2nd attempt, …
For 2020, I'll be waking up at 5am every day. For the first 30 days, I'll keep a daily record of my experience. I am ensuring that I get at least 7 hours of sleep, which will be achieved by being asleep by 10pm. There are many reasons why I'm doing this. Some of them …
For a 30 day challenge, I thought it would be a good idea to try to break a habit. In this case, the habit that has stuck with me for longer than I can remember is biting my nails and fingers. I have tried multiple times to break it, and with many types of methods. …
As my first post, I thought I'd share my previous experience testing out a different sleep pattern. Years ago, I stumbled across an awesome website called High Existence. Through my daily reading, I discovered that there were different sleep patterns other than what everyone I knew did, particularly biphasic and polyphasic sleep. The typical person …
