I want to break 100kg on my bench and get that damned 130kg deadlift I missed last year (was so bloody close!)
I'm starting off the year with a 50 miles in January challenge to get me back running. I've really missed parkrun last year |

My goals are get weight down, get fitness levels up, tone up, and get my blood sugar in order.
I’m very much a work in progress and in the past few years have lost weight and got my BMI into the green zone. But now, naked, I look like someone who is wearing a badly cut, baggy suit, and I really hate how I look. So a busy year ahead. |

I'm in a similar boat. Need to tone up and eat a lot healthier. Good luck with yours and everyone else's goals too.  |

I am meant to run the London Marathon (if it ever happens..  ) so need to get my arse into gear for that.
I am so much out of shape ... some people have taken advantage of lockdowns and got themselves incredibly fit. I’m the opposite.  |

Right now i would settle for being able to climb stairs easier! Would love to run but I'm not sure it's in my future. I'm going to try Joe Wicks hiit for absolute beginners. Anyone else a couch potato or are you all crazy fit already? Anyone want to be my fitness buddy please message me. |

My fitness had been ruined in 2020 as I play team sports and they've all been cancelled. Guess I'm going to have to find a new fitness hobby rather than just using that as an excuse for much longer! |

I knew this I’d be your thread Shag!
Today, tomorrow and Sunday my ambition is to finish the cheese and chocolate mountain in my fridge.
From Monday I’ll be starting a realistic diet and exercise plan - hoping to return to a size 12 by late spring.
If I can’t do this after making a consistent effort - I’ll focus on staying fit, eating healthily - and learning to accept the curvier me! |

"Shag someone from the gym.
What gym do you use?! 
One that's gonna fill up with bbws when the tiers change . Scenic. Haha
I can't tell if you think that's a good thing or a bad thing lol "
Good. A little distracting. |

Be consistent with stretching, more dynamic workouts, some calisthenics and functional body workouts. Again consistent with cardio I done pretty well last few lockdowns so just to keep that up and maybe get a new pic on here to show for it. |

A sub 20 minute 5km run was 2020’s goal.
But after suffering from long COVID and being a year older, a 20.5 minute run matching my PB would be good.
Getting back in shape would be nice too if we can ever go back to the gym |

I am very impressed if you can do a 100kg bench press, I couldn't manage that myself! |

I ran 1000 miles last year, so would like to do the same this year, looking to break 5 k and 10k pbs. At this time of year just trying to keep fitness ticking over, then up it when the warmer weather comes. |

I am hoping to run 2 marathons which were postponed from last year.
I am starting January by participating in a virtual event (Spine Challenge) achieving 286 miles during January. Got my first run done this morning and will be back out later for a power walk.
I hope to avoid illness and injury and use this month to kick start my marathon training.
Good luck to everyone on their own fitness journeys

Get my waist line back!!! Been saying that for a good few years mind, but that stone I gained over lockdown really is too much. Already given up on snacks and full fat cola, just need more exercise. |

Try to eat better for starters. I eat far too many chocolates and donuts.
Take up running again and will probably go out for an easy 5k run later on.
I havent ventured into a gym for years, uts not my thing but will try and ensure I do a few press ups and crunches throughout the week.
Also play football twice a week. Just need to keep it all up |

1) Get triple digits on max rep for deadlift, squat and bench
2) lose 1lb a week
3) don’t bore ppl with fitness talk (ie make sure I do it for me)
That’s enough of a challenge I reckon  |

Well!
K is cutting out all sodas.
T is going to have to rethink his whole regimen as he is down 97 kg and wants to keep going! but with gyms closed, and maybe schools too he's not sure where he's going to get his exercise! |

"Just improved strength.
If anyone wants a free plan, Make Fat Cry challenge by Betty Rocker is good. 20 mins a day, no equipment and completely free
Will give this a go, starting Monday! "
Make sure you take start and end pics, you'll be amazed at the results |

For the gym to be open longer than three months at a time...
I'll be starting a cut on 11 Jan for 10 weeks to lose some fat for a photoshoot. Then probably maintain over summer and start to build next autumn/winter.
In the gym i want to up all my weights over the year but not set anything specific yet as will wait and see where I'm at when we get back.
Also want to make lots of pole and flexibility progress. |

I have a lot actually this year:
a) lose 10kg and get down to below 20% body fat in the process
b) compete in a martial arts competition, Covid dependant
c) run a half marathon and at least 3 10k races
d) reduce my Park Run 5k PB |

Lose 4 stone so I'm not embarassed to look in the mirror!
Get myself signed up for a 10k (when we're able to!)
Find a decent woman to drag away for some hiking/drinking/shagging weekends. |

Thank you. My PT does online classes but it's just nowhere near the same doing it at home. Let's hope the gyms can soon open. |

Hello lovely lady x
Most people don't love it though - it's all about the way we look.
Even at 45 I'm sucked in to thinking I need to look a certain way.
Fighting gravity is a losing battle 
I wish I could have loved myself as I was in my 20's when I was beautiful- being young is beautiful!
I want to love my 45yr old self.
That's the plan x |

Firstly get my IBS under control through diet, then to get back into my swimming as soon as possible, if not increase the distances of my daily walks, and some more weights work.
When the chance comes along, back to playing 5 aside football with my mates. |

You're spot on Mary. I know I feel better when I'm doing 5ks so that's why I'm doing it. My life isn't going to get magically better because I've reached some arbitrary dress size and I'd much rather love how I am and enjoy what life has to offer instead of beating myself up if I don't. Anyway, good post |

"The last minute is tough. I was 17 secs of a sub 20 and I can’t break that barrier. Getting older too"
May I suggest a change in your exercise regime. There is an adage in running, 'if you want to run faster you have to run faster'. It's a simple principle of track efforts and short, sharp sprints. Not easy to execute sadly, otherwise we'd all be Kipchoge.
Good luck with your goal. I got beaten three weeks ago by a 54 year old guy who ran a 15.45 min 5k. You have this... |

Goals? To have more sex; that's my favourite form of exercise.
Seriously, I'm comfortable in my skin. I walk a lot and wild swim (yes, even this week) but have no desire to aim for a "new me".
This me is ok, actually. |

That's so true same for jumping sports or punching
Many still think hold weights and then jump of hold heavy weight and punch
The irony is this actually slows the speed of contraction and the movement groove
Un weight then aim for fastest movement

The lake I swim in was 3.5 yesterday. I'm hoping it'll be higher ( by 1°?) tomorrow afternoon as the ice has now melted. It's the air temperature that's crucial.. getting dried and dressed in minus temps is grim. |

I have been sedentary for a long time, so looking to start off slow with walking until I build fitness back up and then move to weights etc.
My goal is to lose 2 stone before the mls but tone up at the same time.

Continue to lose weight. Especially after what I have eaten and drank over Christmas.
I have just bought dumbbells and a bench to train at home. Maybe some naked training will be in order in 2021!
Just to check progress of course |

Seriously, general cardio and strict beers quota.
