Fitness 2016

[mongers]

Because it's never too early to feel guilty about letting yourself go. 


So what are you fitness plans for 2016?


My real fitness plan for 2016 is to continue to monitor my long term declining fitness.

My plan for 2016 is getting under 100 Kgs. I haven't been below that weight since 2007. I have improved my fitness a lot this year, and I feel I can do it.

So what are you fitness plans for 2016?

Continue lifting and kicking ass.

My plan is to continue with two spinning classes throughout winter to be ready for my Balkan Bicycle Trip Spring of 2016: Trail of the Refugees - The Danes Are Coming To Take Away Your Wedding Rings.

So what are you fitness plans for 2016?

The same ones I haven't accomplished the last decade.

A half in February, not sure if I will go ahead and train for a full early in 2017, so that what would be a lot of running in 2016.

I have been asked to play in a charity basketball tournament in March. I would really like to get up at the rim for that.  So my plan is to do cardio (on J's old rowing machine) and stretching every day along with my weight routine (3x a week) and then when I think I am fit enough I will do some sprint training and a bit of vert training.  Playing without getting winded or injured is the main goal.

The first part of 2016 goals is to continue to decline in 2015 to set a low starting baseline, setting the stage for significant 2016 improvements.

More seriously, I'm climbing Rainier in June, so I need to get fit for that. I'm thinking of Elbrus in August, but I don't have a partner for that, few prospects of finding one (I'd go with a guide, not solo), and the situation there leaves me a bit hesitant. Successfully completing those climbs are the main goals.

Other goals--
-Improve climbing to be able to do 5.11.
-Get back to a sub 50 minute 10k (last one run was 51 minutes, shouldn't be hard)
-Stretch goal: sub 1:50 half marathon.
-bench my body weight
-20 pull ups? I'm so far off right now--I can just do 7. 20 has been a goal for a long time, but getting all the way to 20 is probably not realistic. at least a dozen by the end of the year would make me happy.
-get under 22:00 in a 5k (there is a net downhill 5k near me, really fast track--I did it in 22:00 last time I ran, my best 5k time, I'd like to beat that.

2016 is off to a great start for me. Started running again and it went well, I could really feel all those spinning classes helping. But I feel the spinning might be more difficult for a while: in december the classes were maybe half full, tomorrow it's all booked with 15 people on the waiting list.

My plan is to get back on track.  I dropped 35 pounds on my lifting regimen, then fell off the wagon when the holidays hit.  I think I have crept back up 5 or 6 pounds from my low point, though my waist is still at 38.  Hopefully I don't get too much shit from my endo on Wednesday for slacking off.

Cycling longer and longer distances.

Cycling longer and longer distances.

I intend to do this too; today I went all of 23 miles, which is the furthest I've been since Xmas on a bike.

I'll definitely be happy when the new years resolution set fades out at the gym. Too much naked booty all up on me.

[Jaron]

ALL the young ladies are lining up at the House of Jaron. I have a feeling exercise will NOT be an issue this year.

[Josquius]

A new gym with decent opening times has opened not too far from my place. Think I'll join despite the expense and liklihood of not sticking around here.
