What are your goals for physical exercise? - March 28th 2015, 12:23 PM

Hello everyone,

Spring is here (for most of us) and then Summer is upon us and great weather means being more physically active and sports.

What goals have you made to getting more exercise?

Are you going to sign up for some sports or already signed up to some?

What sports or physical activities are you wanting to try this Spring and Summer?

Have you in the past done any sports or physical activities that you're wanting to take part in again?

What kinds of physical activities do you most enjoy taking part in?

Are you part of a sports team at your school/College/University?


Hope everyone is enjoying Spring, I know we have snow still and it's still snowing. But, we can still think about sports and physical activities we want to do.

_______________________________________
Here are my answers to the questions I asked


What goals have you made to getting more exercise?
My goal that I have made to get more exercise is walking my dog at least twice a day. Another goal is, going swimming, using the gym, and biking.

Are you going to sign up for some sports or already signed up to some?
I've looked into signing up for some sports or physical activities but I haven't found anything that interests me yet.

What sports or physical activities are you wanting to try this Spring and Summer?
I would love to get back into playing Badminton, I loved playing it back in high school and I really miss it. I might ask some friends if they would like to play.
I've thought about Tennis but it's way different than Badminton but it has a lot of similarities.

Have you in the past done any sports or physical activities that you're wanting to take part in again?
In the past I did a lot of biking and since I have a new bike I am excited to take it out for long bike rides. I want to take part in playing Badminton again.

What kinds of physical activities do you most enjoy taking part in?

Some of the physical activities I most enjoy is swimming, biking, walking, and hopefully I will add Badminton to that list soon. I haven't thought about any other sports currently.

Are you part of a sports team at your school/College/University?
Not in school. But in the past I was on the Volleyball team, Soccer team, track and field, Badminton, and played indoor soccer games when I was in high school.

hi everyone! My goal in physical exercise, If I don't feel confident about my body, I'm not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So i do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating myself and just doing it.

All I could tihnk about was the scene in American Beauty:
Quote:
Lester Burnham: I figured you guys might be able to give me some pointers. I need to shape up. Fast.
Jim Olmeyer: Are you just looking to lose weight, or do you want increased strength and flexibility as well?
Lester:
I don't have any concrete goals. When it comes to exercise, I'm not always the best at being realistic in what can be achieved in what amount of time, and I become disheartened if by 3 workouts I can't already run at this pace or if I didn't lose x amount of weight. So I'm mostly focused on being healthier and relieving stress. I still want to complete a 5k race (I've ran that amount but not in a race), I want to start cycling with my partner, I want to start some weight training this summer with a friend of mine who told me she'd show me how, etc. But no goals on pace or anything. I also wouldn't mind losing a few pant sizes as I can't afford to buy more clothes, so fitting back in my high school clothes would be nice.

What goals have you made to getting more exercise? - I try to go to the gym 3-4 times a week to do Zumba and play on my ring fit at least 1-2 days per week.

Are you going to sign up for some sports or already signed up to some? - Nope!

What sports or physical activities are you wanting to try this Spring and Summer? - I'll stick to Zumba or walking probably.

Have you in the past done any sports or physical activities that you're wanting to take part in again? - More Zumba. Migraines stopped me for a while.

What kinds of physical activities do you most enjoy taking part in? - Again, Zumba haha. I like the music and muscle memory takes over so I know a lot of the moves unless it's a new song.

Are you part of a sports team at your school/College/University? - I graduated but I never was.

I want to come back to my physical condition from before the lockdown.

Are you going to sign up for some sports or already signed up to some?
I mostly use free videos, so I don't sign up for anything.

I used to belly dance before the lockdown but now all the classes are online and I can't motivate myself to dance at home, so I'd like to come back to it when it's conducted traditionally again.

What kinds of physical activities do you most enjoy taking part in?
Gym, fitness, belly dance classes and walking in the forest, on a beach, field etc.

Are you part of a sports team at your school/College/University?
No.

Spring is around the corner for most of us and people are getting out more and more as the weather is getting nicer.

What will be your goals this year for exercise?

Currently, I walk a lot and my job is physically demanding, I am receiving loads of exercise from work.

My overall goal is to just build muscle and keep increasing the weight numbers I lift per exercise. The UK lockdown can make it kind of annoying to do, so every lockdown I aim to have a new goal by the next one occurs.

For example, my previous goal was to reach a 40kg cable bicep curl, which I achieved. So now my next one for when gyms reopen is to increase my barbell squat beyond 60kg. In order to make sure I can do that well, I've been spending my time at home working on improving my glute muscles and making sure my hip flexors don't seize up with all this sitting. Nobody wants to be squatting with an underactive backside and overactive hip flexors.

Start focusing on health and wellness long before my annual half-birthday crisis at the end of June.


I would like to focus on walking more; but, at the same time, not do so much that I burn myself out like last year.

I would also like to focus on doing more strength training after I've gotten into a rhythm, and broaden out more.

What goals have you made to getting more exercise?

Are you going to sign up for some sports or already signed up to some?


I'm more into academia than any sport so the answer is No.


What sports or physical activities are you wanting to try this Spring and Summer?



I haven't signed up to any program, but I intend continuing to run with Wendi.


Have you in the past done any sports or physical activities that you're wanting to take part in again?


No.


What kinds of physical activities do you most enjoy taking part in?


Running early mornings with my sister Wendi. She likes my company, but I want to run not just to increase my own exercise regime, but because frequent running keeps Wendi's depression in check.


Are you part of a sports team at your school/College/University?


No. And I have no intention.
