If the -goshdarn- Batman can do it, why can't I?

Hello all!

I'm here to kick myself into better shape in any way I can: mentally, physically, etc.

I started a small body weight routine a few weeks ago after reading a few articles on this site, but fell off the wagon and haven't been able to restart so I came back here for inspiration and joined the forum.

I shall post more soon when I figure out my concrete goals.

Hi. Make sure you make small achievable goals that make you feel good when you get them done.

What sort of activities are you doing?

Hey there - welcome to the gang. I'm amazed at the support I've been getting from the boards.

I've also found Fitocracy a fantastic motivator - PM me if you want an invite.

I found this post really helpful for setting fitness/life goals - you should check it out.

Mcdrew- Right now I'm working my way up to 100 pushups. That's really it. It isn't much but I've found my biggest challenge is actually being lazy and letting a routine fizzle out after a few days. I'm hoping being public about this I can use the encouragement or shame to keep going.

MisseLaneius- Thanks for the link. I don't think I've read that one yet.

No shame in not achieving a goal. Reevaluation is the key to achieving it next time. Have goals ready, don't reach a goal with nowhere to go next.

Do it. You want to.
