Femmetrooper Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 My current fitness goal is primarily to become toned. I’m pretty skinny, but squishy, so some muscle would be awesome. I love rock climbing so my main quest is to climb a 5.10b route. I think by the time I get to being able to do that I’ll likely be pretty darn toned. Some things I would like to be able to do with my soon to be fit self are:Improve my upper body strength (pretty important for climbing) Be able to do a pull-up (that would be awesome)Maybe a hand stand? I’m kind of tall and gangly, that might be a stretch. Take a yoga class (improved flexibility would be awesome)Run a 5K Teach T’ai Chi again. Rock climb outdoorsClimb a 5.9Climb a 5.10aClimb a 5.10bClimb a 5.10cClimb a 5.11aTake a lead climbing classPaddleboard yogaBe able to climb a ropeReduce fried food intake (I have cut caffeine, artificial sweeteners, dyes, and so many other things, but I loooove chips)Weight lift (I’ve always loved hand weights, I just never moved up to the big guns)Kayak/paddle-board regularly (2x a month would be nice)Begin aerial yogaDeadlift 100 lbsDeadlift 150 lbsBench Press 50 lbsBench Press 75 lbs 1 Quote FemmetrooperAmazon Assassin | Level 2|| STR 6 || DEX 3 || STA 4 || CON 4 || WIS 3 || CHA 1 ||IntroductionChallenges: Running with Orcs, At the base of Cirith Ungol , Facing Shelob,Battle Log: Climbing into Mordor "Well, all good stories deserve embellishment.

A couple routes I'd been struggling with last week finally happened. Finally made it up!!

Femmetrooper Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe I need to change my goal to climbing a 5.11 or something, I think I'll get there! But gahhh, it's getting cold! I like trail running and that just stinks in this weather. Must keep running from zombies, though!

Femmetrooper Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I've successfully tackled my first 5.10a! Taking a lead climbing course in February!Purchased a hangboard and pullup bar to help practice while I'm at home.Also purchased an aerial hammock for yoga, aerial, and trx training! I've never been so excited, happy, and fit in my entire life! 1 Quote FemmetrooperAmazon Assassin | Level 2|| STR 6 || DEX 3 || STA 4 || CON 4 || WIS 3 || CHA 1 ||IntroductionChallenges: Running with Orcs, At the base of Cirith Ungol , Facing Shelob,Battle Log: Climbing into Mordor "Well, all good stories deserve embellishment.

Femmetrooper Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 The gym I climb at just changed up their routes, I love having new stuff to work on! Lots of 5.9 and 5.10's, even a couple 5.11's that I really want to try.So excited!Also, deadlifted 110lbs and completed a 40min 5k. Not bad for someone who couldn't run a single mile a few short months ago.I've never been so fit, ever!
