DanBell Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 This is my intro post, but I've actually been lurking/reading Steve's excellent blog for a while. It's a little eerie---both he and I got into parkour, eating paleo, and fivefingers, within a few months of each other. Now I can't remember what ideas I got from his blog and what I found from other sources. I decided to show my face when I got wind there was a Rebellion going on. Because seriously, how could I not join a rebellion?My name and username are the same (though I have a space in there offline). I'm a 23-yr-old statistics major in Provo, UT. I've been lucky in that I've never had weight problems, but my choice of hobbies and friends meant that I wasn't as fit as I could be. While I like my weight as it is, I definitely have a (yet undefined) desire to become more athletic. If I have a video game fitness role model, it'd be Guy from Street Fighter Alpha II, or Faith from Mirror's Edge. If I get the time to sit down and write out some goals, they'll probably have something to do with decreased swim times, increased flexibility, an increase in my vertical, an increase in max pullups (or something so I don't suck at climbing so bad), and maybe the ability to do a backflip. Maybe.Also, I freaking love this site. I am a nerd. I also like being fit. Perfect! Quote Link to comment
Steve Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Mirror's Edge ftw! Apparently there's a 2d version of the game now out for the iPad? WANT. Welcome to the good guys. -Steve Quote Rebel Leader. I post videos of my dog on Instagram, and sometimes even share fitness wisdom. SOMETIMES. Link to comment
Anne Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hail fellow traceur!! I find that a lot or parkour practitioners are nerds...and athletic. It's awesome! Quote Link to comment
