So, back in July or August I messed up my left shoulder. Learned my shoulder structure will tend to inflame my rotator cuff if I'm not careful. Lost a lot of mountain biking time, and gained about 15 pounds. Some big-picture goals I am working on: rebuilding overall strength, making time for fun, and eventually losing weight. Fitness Goals: Workout at least 3 days per week, minimum workout: 3 rounds of: 25 jumping jacks 15-second samson stretch(both sides) 10 squats 10 sit-ups 10 ring rows (scaled) 5 ring pushups

Tiggs86PreppingforPOW Hello All I have been absent from the challenges for quite some time for personal reasons and am in need of a respawn. I believe my previous challenge I had mentioned preparing for a camping trip to celebrate my 30th Birthday. Well in August I, my sister, and three of our friends went to Northern Minnesota and spent a week camping and hiking. Over 30miles and 1500 stairs in 5 days! Here's a photo album: http://s868.photobucket.com/user/Tiggs86/library/30th trip As the Starks say: . Winter is my favorite time of year because that means snow whi

Hey, all, Beerzerker here, Just signed up for Nerd Fitness Academy last week. My wife's been a member for a while, and I thought I should join in the fun. I'm in decent shape, but want to improve. Currently, I mountain bike with my son during the summer and snowboard in the winter with my son and my daughter(she skis). We live in western Wisconsin, where we've been having a lot of rain recently. Looking forward to getting to know some of you and letting my geek loose a bit. One of my hobbies is making beer at home, and I love the the process as well as the end res

So I was going through the classes the other night, as I am kinda new, and thought.. hmm.. I'm kind of a warrior, but strength training won't be my only focus.. I'm kind of a Ranger, but also kind of a Scout.. Somewhere in between is where I really fit.. I hate running, but everything else? Love it... Here's my idea: A class that focuses on other outdoor sports but not running.. maybe sprinkle a little in there occasionally for those that do like it, but skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, cycling, rollerblading, hiking (backpacking too) We could be called Juggernauts. We are hardcore a

Hello Rangers! This is my second challenge. My first one I focused on recovering from a really nasty ankle sprain, and while my ankle is still not 100% (honestly, it probably won't be for at least another two months) I want to start on my main quest of becoming a kickass viking! To be a viking I'll be sailing long distances (read: running and cycling), exploring wintry fjords (read: snowboarding) and of course getting totally buff. The vikings were known for being pretty awesome sailors. For my maiden viking voyage, I'm going to "sail" from Bergen, Norway to Höfn, Iceland, which is

This weekend I tried and learned something new- snowboarding. AND I DIDN'T DIE EVEN ONCE. I have friends who are regular snowboarders and hit the slopes almost every season and I've really put it off on account of not having medical coverage over the past few years. Well that changed last year with my new job, so I jumped at the opportunity to go with them this past weekend to Mammoth Mountain. This was a bit of a challenge and completely out of my normal mode of exercise. The last time I had ever stood on a board of any kind was a skateboard sometime during my late grade school days, and
