TalionDal'lwen Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 An icebreaker... Ahem... Now that's over with... Hi, I'm new but i am definitely keen to be here. i never thought to get fit by ways of a video game (BEGADS!) My name is Chris, I live in Canberra, Australia (any other Canberra folk here?) and im studying Engineering at ANU (Australian National University for those who done know) studying my second year. I'm not overweight but i've definitely fallen into a shape that I'm not happy with, and would like to get back to one that i am happy with, and maybe build a little muscle to keep my girlfriend happy up until very recently, i do very little in terms of exercise and just sit in front of my computer and play games. i used to walk and ride my bike everywhere, then i got a car I have wanted to change that for years now, but i never knew how to. i would try but it would fizzle out after a few weeks. at the start of this year i decided to commit, but ease into it. I found Nerd Fitness through imgur. someone had posted a gif of Steves video of exercising all over the world. i thought it was a cool little montage That's when i found this site, and his TED talk. I'd like to think many people felt the same, but that talk really spoke to me, more than what anything else i tried. My first thought that it was awesome that a gamer could transform himself with enough dedication. i was more than impressed. I started reading his blog. i read many articles on dietary and fitness and even the NerdFitness Academy. Everything that i read made sense (As Steve had said everything was just logical) i started changing my diet, i started drinking more water, i started exercising. and now im here, it improve myself even more. ive signed up for the Academy, taking that step by step while attempting the first challenge. I look forward to meeting some of what this forum has to offer, and meeting some people new and old, newb and vets alike Talion P.S. games im playing at the moment if anyone is interested EVE OnlineDragon Age InquisitionDiablo 3Homeworld Remastered (when that is released)Mass Effect from time to timeElite Dangerous and various other little games from time to time I'm always looking for more people to play with Quote Half-Elf (Adventurer) - Level 0STR - 0 | DEX - 0 | STA - 0 | CON - 0 | WIS - 0 | CHA - 0 6 Week ChallengeIntroThread Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.-Francis of Assisi Link to comment
