I wanna try and aim for a 20k run. Been stuck on 15k for ages so time I up the challenge a bit. I just need the right mentality now

Move slightly more. That'll do.

I want to gain a few lbs of muscle and then shift a few lbs of body fat. My training is always consistent so no need to motivate myself but my diet is another story.

I’ve got a holiday booked so I’m hoping that motivates me to sort my diet out.

Improve core and stamina, try to work on upper body but without causing more damage to an already knackered shoulder.

Ideally get back to a 32 waist and tone back up again

I need to rehab my shoulder to get back a decent range of movement.

Lots and lots of flogging and impact work should help.

I’ve avoided the scales. I’ll wait until after New Years Eve for that. Diet is so simple in theory but in practice it really is hard. Christmas weight is usually easy to shift though.

I do not know why I never thought of dancing at home during the pandemic. I do go to dance classes but never made the connection that I could do it alone as well. I now do an hour or more most days and apart from the fitness benefits...

On a more serious note, I messed up both my shoulders strength straining (rotator cuff tendinitis) two years ago, and theyve never really been the same so its stopped me training as hard as I used to.

Love this...

You know stepping on the scales can be so dangerous - I have known people who have stepped on one side and fallen off the other seriously injuring their ... pride mainly!

Only kidding, you are right Christmas weight comes off quite easily but taking that first step when you have many leftovers at home, is not the easiest thing to do.

I have just thrown away the left over mince pies and stollen... because they are only going on my hips if I keep them.

Which bit are you struggling with?

Benching 100kgs is a lot harder than squatting, and squatting 100kgs is harder than deadlifting 100kgs. If you are struggling with one specific lift then may need some help from a good experienced strength coach?

In general - just get fit!

I've gotten into the habit of only training and improving my fitness and strength when I have an event coming up ( competitive mountain bike rider) and as you can imagine over the last 2 years with covid etc there's not been a lot.

In the summer I really focused for 2 month's on diet, weight loss and Mobility, before a big competition and it really worked and I was happy with my results.

But now that nothing is on the horizon, it's 0 training.

I want to get a gym routine in 2022 and not let work get in the way and be an excuse, I also want my fitness to improve ( typing this as I'm on my turbo trainer!)

And loosing the flab would be great too!

Hi op.

Still recovering from covid but hoping the headaches and disrupted sleep will be gone in time to start on Monday.

I have a couple of holidays planned for next year - covid permitting - so I’m hoping they’ll give me the incentive I need to stick with it.

I already eat relatively healthily and walk the dog every day - so I’ll have to reduce my portions (not looking forward to that bit

) and do more targeted exercises.

Hoping to get back to a size 12. X

Adjust your goals to make it about body weight

For example

Deadlift body weight x1.5

All for 12 reps

I (mrs) am now finally after 2 long years really happy with my body shape and find it really easy to stick to my diet. Even dropped the gym for the last 6 months and just staying active and walk is working wonders for me

Oh yes I'm aware of the size of the challenge and how I've been failing miserably at it for about 3 years. I joined slimming World 4 years ago and lost 15 in 6 months but put it all on again reasonably quickly. I have to find ways of doing the cardio and stuff at home as right now.. .gyms aren't an option. So... Suck it up buttercup and take the first step!

I'm not supposed to do planks or crunches unfortunately. That's the issue. My urogynaecologist said no exercises of that nature at all. No sit ups, nothing that massively increases intra-abdominal pressure. Otherwise I might undo my surgery and worsen my other prolapses.

Hi op.

Still recovering from covid but hoping the headaches and disrupted sleep will be gone in time to start on Monday.

I have a couple of holidays planned for next year - covid permitting - so I’m hoping they’ll give me the incentive I need to stick with it.

I already eat relatively healthily and walk the dog every day - so I’ll have to reduce my portions (not looking forward to that bit

) and do more targeted exercises.

Hoping to get back to a size 12. X"

Good luck.. Yoga and pilates might help - they are very good for the core

"So 2021 is almost behind us.. What are your fitness goals for 2022

How are you planning to achieve them? How do you motivate yourself to stay on plan?

10kgs should translate to a lot more than 2 inches off your waist. A decent rule of thumb is 1kg body fat equating to 1cm off waist

Tips? Probably nothing you don’t already know ... consistency, writing everything down. And variety ... doing all of your cardio in one way can stress things like your knees ... swim, run, cycle, rowing machine, elliptical trainers ... mixing it up is good, keeps too challenged and spreads the workload.

That is one of the biggest changes I’m planning for next year, to vary my cardio. I tend to focus on running, see progress on that and want to continue seeing better times and distances so end up overdoing the running, get injured or get bored. In 2022 I’m going to change that, do the hard cardio sessions on non-running days and then just enjoy a gentle jog once or twice a week.

Which bit are you struggling with?

Benching 100x12 is impressing

Deadlift 100x12 isn’t

Adjust your goals to make it about body weight

For example

Bench body weight

Squat body weight x1.25

Deadlift body weight x1.5

All for 12 reps "

Agreed, basing the targets on bodyweight is an excellent idea, as is having different targets for the 3 big lifts. 100kg is a nice round number, but body weight is a better guide.

And get help! The best lifters I know are constantly having people look at their technique

Continue following a healthy diet and go out for a jog twice a week, no excuses - incl going back to parkrun. Fuck the frizzy hair excuse. The oh my favourite sports bra is missing. Find it. Stop being a lazy bitch.

Keep on proving my mum wrong in her belief that if I lost weight the first place for it to disappear will be my boobs. Almost ten stones down and they are here to stay (albeit slowly getting smaller).

Go back to yoga. Don't cheat and do hatha though, mix some ashtanga in that schedule.

Walk more. Not be lazy and drive for a coffee, walk and get one (and not a sugar laden one etc).

Do some squats. Daily. Not a stupid amount but enough to feel something.

And sleep more so I'm more inclined to get out.

Hertfordshire

I would love to find someone local to go gym with or swimming. Nothing sexual expected but be nice to be with someone to help me along the way and the company

"Continue following a healthy diet and go out for a jog twice a week, no excuses - incl going back to parkrun. Fuck the frizzy hair excuse. The oh my favourite sports bra is missing. Find it. Stop being a lazy bitch.

Go back to yoga. Don't cheat and do hatha though, mix some ashtanga in that schedule.

Walk more. Not be lazy and drive for a coffee, walk and get one (and not a sugar laden one etc).

Do some squats. Daily. Not a stupid amount but enough to feel something.

And sleep more so I'm more inclined to get out.

Oh i love this Meli, good luck! Your mindset is definitely in the right place

Why don't you put up a poster at the gym? Or maybe they have a facebok group ?

From the land of haribos.

I will be continuing with what I do, to train hard and to maintain my 6pack. I will also do body part specialisation and focus on my shoulders

Visiting Blackpool

Our motivation is (hopefully) a beach holiday in March. We shall keep going to the gym but cut back on snacks...when we've got through all the Xmas chocolate!

"Knock 15 mins off my marathon PB (flat course)and come under 4 hours for the Snowdon marathon.

Complete my first tri

Climb 7a sport E3 trad.

Gosh. They are big goals! "

I dropped 25mins off my marathon this year but it was by far the flattest course I've run so some of the time saved was that. The rest though was down to training properly but I had a nasty tummy infection near the end of the training that messed it up. Hoping if I keep healthy I can beat it.

Tri is completely new, have no idea what to expect.

Climbing grades are both only 1 grade up from my previous best, I just need to train more.
