    Had a kid early this year and fitness has mostly fallen to the wayside. I’d be pretty happy of I can get back to about 80% of my peak strength before the end of the year.

    Do more stretches and take better care of my body besides I just want to lift weights. I should not have so many things that hurt on my body at the age I am. Also do more cardio than once a month.

    Getting a bit bored of weight lifting. Going to shift focus to train and run my first marathon and then see what I want to do from there. Shift back to lifting, keep training to improve marathon times, bit of both, something completely different?

    I split that thought into several groups:

    General Health

    • get quarterly blood works done
    • eat clean
    • fix broken left shoulder
    • fix mobility

    Fitness

    • integrate more compound movements and free weight training as I’m mostly doing strength on machines
    • get my abs to really show (I’ve lost a decent amount of weight and are hovering around 18% body fat so it should be possible)
    • fix my running (poor feet and asthma make it harder)
    • get a 100k hike in 24 hours done

    Fun

    • I picked up wakeboarding end of last season, wanna continue during summer
    • dabble a bit in basketball and rugby as I’ve always been interested in those
    • go on a rock climbing tour

    In general all goals are just more direction giving, I’m not sweating it as long as I keep my general routine that I thoroughly enjoy (every 2nd day resistance and every other day enough steps or a little cardio).

    At the end of last year I laid out a three year plan to get myself into shape. Year one would be general weight loss and dieting, year two I would incorporate cardio, year three is bulking. So far I’ve lost 58 pounds and dabbled in running. Looking to lose another 25 this year and maybe run a 5k.

        Hey thanks!

        I’m actually doing really well now, it was a bit shaky for a while but I’m back out on my bike and slowly building up my endurance again.

        Lost an enormous amount of muscle, but I’m just glad to feel alive again!

        I’m back to wearing masks indoors in public though, that’s not something I ever want again.
