I want to work out at least thrice a week.

[–] PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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.

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).

I had COVID a few weeks ago, my fitness goals are now: be awake for an entire day

Fml.

You got that! Take each day as it comes and take the time you need. COVID can be such a bitch... Rooting for you

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.
