To regularly and consistently exercise and find something I enjoy doing.

I admit that there is vanity aspects - I want to look good!

Right now I’m looking to become 100% metabolically healthy. What I have left is getting visceral fat down to a healthy range. I use an Inbody scale to measure this. Visceral fat is linked to many health issues like cancer and dementia.

I like to see ongoing improvement with my running times and weight lifting

I'm struggling with this because I've met my goal. I'm under my goal weight. I look strong. I am a good runner but not trying to improve my running. So feeling stuck.

Maintain cardio and strength I’ve got going, and improve balance and flexibility.

For me, it is just making sure I build a life around movement and fitness. I was naturally skinny and didn’t work out at all until I was 30 but in the 8 years since, I have gone from not being able to do a single sit-up to doing home workouts and then on to lifting weights, doing Barre, Orangetheory, Solidcore. When gyms closed during Covid I challenged myself to become a runner and did that; I walk anywhere I possibly can, I take vacations that include physical activity like hiking, kayaking, climbing.

There’s not one goal of “run x distance” or “weigh y lbs.” For me it’s just about always finding ways to be active that I enjoy and have fun at and push me to help me grow. Stay active , treat my body as if it’s got to last me til I’m 100.

To build muscle and strength, build endurance, improve core and balance, and improve cardio fitness. I'm a postmenopausal female so keeping my bones strong, my core strong so I can have good balance and posture, and a strong heart are paramount. The rest of my goal is related to vanity, which automatically comes by doing all those things I listed.

I am 4 months postpartum, 198 lbs, 5’3, size 10/12 (don’t @ me, I am very dense and muscular). I am most comfortable around 150-160, at a size 6.

I am a yogi so maintaining that practice matters to me, as does general well-being. I very much dislike being overweight because it makes my body sore and I don’t like how it looks visually: I am very busty and don’t have much of a waist.

My aim for getting in shape is to look hot and feel good. Not necessarily in that order. I am in excellent health, so my motivation is mostly about vanity and athletic ability.

I always get super fat while pregnant (third kid - have already lost nearly 40 pounds since giving birth), so I just look forward to having a body that feels like mine again.

I have always wanted six pack abs. And at 165, even without doing the situps I used to do, I think I could have them.

I want to exercise at least 20 mins a day, 6 days a week.

As part of that - 2 days I run for 30 mins, and I do one long weekend run of appx 5 miles

[Anonymous]

150 zone minutes per week minimum - 300 stretch goal - for heart health

8k min steps per day - 10k goal - for overall mobility

2x weight training to maintain muscle mass and metabolic health

At least one workout getting to high intensity heart rate

These are my goals each week.

Fitness wise, I'm where I want to be. Now its really more about aesthetics for me. I want to build more muscle in my glutes and legs.

Work on my swim from. Learning how to distance swim as an adult is very challenging. Even more challenging because swimming is a total time suck and without video you have no real idea what you are doing wrong.

Run a sub 6:30 mile.
