RagingHibiscus Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi... I'm new here. I'm a 30yr old 130kg, 5"11 Canadian dude. I want to get to 90kg and learn how to dance swing by this time next year! I've never exercised before... so I'm taking it one step at a time. Have been walking 10mins a day, also I'm eating a salad with every meal now instead of just more of whatever the meal was. Next week my plan is to try the beginner body weight workout and maybe join the Academy... Life goal is to learn how to interact with people. Starting with this post. I may have some issues so that's not as easy as it sounds... Honestly, that's the bit that scares the crap out of me. kbye Quote Link to comment
godjira1 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Good luck with the health and fitness goals - I can only say u are on the right path. Little and often for a long time beats a little tempest in a teacup. re your fears with interaction, u did the nike thing already so i wouldn't worry. Keep your 20seconds fear removal booster close and use it from time to time! 1 Quote my journey to kickass-dom E1RM: SQ: 130.9kg (Jul18); BP: 103.2kg (Aug18); DL: 150kg (Jun18); FSQ: 103.2kg (May18); OHP: 66.9kg (Dec17); PP: 72.5kg (Jul18) 2.4km/Cooper's Test: (10:22, Jun18) Vitals: 40 yo, 1.7m, 74kg (Jul18) Link to comment
juliebarkley Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Welcome to the Rebellion! Swing dancing is a great medium-term goal! Now you just have to figure out how to get there. Your plan of making walking and good diet a regular habit, then checking out exercises sounds like a good start to me. I don't post much either - I can never think of what to say, and then I don't know if what I said sounds stupid. At least on my own challenge thread I am mostly talking to myself. You are not alone with the social awkwardness (even online). Quote Challenge archive Link to comment
RagingHibiscus Posted August 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thanks to both of you for the kind words! Will keep ploddling along. I have hopes for the future... Quote Link to comment
Tialoredron Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Welcome to the Rebellion! Most members work on their goals with their own 4-week challenge threads; we are currently in our second week for this rotation, but there's no better time than now to start exploring what the community can offer you! If you're interested, the Rebels is a great place to put your first 4-week challenge thread (following Spezzy's super-awesome-walkthrough). Or creating your own Daily Battle Log is another great option for telling us how your journey's going. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
