jeslamb Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hello everyone!I'm Jesse, and I'm new to the Rebellion.First, a little about me...28 years old, female, work a fairly sedentary job in IT (thus the geekery)Love running but make excuses far too frequently as to why I can't squeeze in a run todayLove cycling when the weather permits (I live in Chicago -- also probably an excuse)Haven't lifted anything heavy, really ever.Squishy in parts that I never wanted to get squishy. I believed for a long time that girls should do high reps, low weight. I'm small and muscular as is, so the last thing I wanted was to "bulk up." I'm 5'0", 123lbs, and would like to tone up and lose the squish.I've read the site for a long time, but decided to join the Rebellion and get in on one of these 6-week challenges. Looking forward to some camaraderie along the way.Let's do this!! Link to comment
Roocifer Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi Jesse! I'm new too and joined for some of the same reasons as you. I'm 27, female, and 5'3", so I was also fed the same crap about not lifting heavy or you'll GET BULKY AND MANLY AHHH! I'm definitely a runner, not a weight lifter, but I actually kinda like body weight exercises - never thought I'd say that! Anyway, welcome!! Current Challenge: Roocifer's Eat and Run Challenge | Fitocracy Level 2 Scout: STR: 4.25 | DEX: 8.75 | STA: 8.75 | CON: 6 | WIS: 7.5 | CHA: 7.75 I feel my boots trying to leave the ground, I feel my heart pumping hard, I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings. - Mary Oliver Link to comment
