I'm curious about this too. Paradoxic - How did you decide Krav was the best for you? If I'm looking to try a martial art, what's good to consider?

Got my goals for the next 6 week challenge. Go big.

Yeah, I had a really hard time coming up with some. Ultimately, I found it helped to first write down my motivations (losing weight, running farther/faster, looking good, etc.). The next step was coming up with activities that would fit with those motivations. Then, I did a bit of reading/research on NF to come up with goals for those activities. And I did this all in steps over the course of 2 or 3 days, ready to write down when I got some inspiration.
Hope that helps. Let me know...

Will do for certain. I have a problem with being specific at time, so getting a general idea as to how the process should be handled is of a great help.

Kohakuu - you are the man in the arena. You mention trying to lose weight and coming up short. We all have. But you tried. And you tried again. And now, faced caked with dirt and blood and sweat and tears, you are going at it again. I'm a newbie too, and also hoping to get my health back on track this summer. Thanks for sharing your story and I look forward to hearing about your progress.

What to eat/drink before a pushup challenge for max results?
Cider replied to Daffy's topic in Strength Training!
I've never tried supplements, but a cup of coffee (or two) before going to the gym usually gets me more amped. -
Thanks for the welcome and same to you. I definitely hear the "no excuses" mentality in your voice. Awesome.

Nerd Marine. Yes, they exist!

I second the props on the T.R. quote. His "Man in the Arena" is excellent. Welcome! -
Hi Everyone. A good friend referred me to NerdFitness and I'm stoked to be here. Here's my story. Two years ago I competed in my first triathlon and performed pretty well. I trained a lot, ate well, and loved the lifestyle. Since then, I got laid off and moved in with my parents. The stress of it all hit hard, and I ate whatever my folks served up (I love 'em, but home-cooked meals aren't exactly healthy). I started taking odd-jobs to pay the bills and had no routine at all, so no exercise. I've since put on some weight and can barely run a mile anymore. I'm sluggish, self-conscious, and downright tired of it. The good news is things are turning around. I've got a stable job and I'm moving into my own place next week. I'll set my own schedule, control my meals, and have a cardio center inside my apartment building (not much, but no excuses). What I'm looking for is the support to get started and to keep going. For my NF Character, I'm totally a scout. If it's about endurance, whether on flat land, in the hills, or in the water, I'm in. I'm still working on setting goals (any suggestions are welcome!!!). One outcome I want is to fit into the t-shirt I got from my first triathlon. I prefer bodyweight exercises, but I'm open to learning about weights too. Well, that's it for now. I look forward to becoming part of the community!
