KypNydan Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi Just another lurker who finally decided to actually join the forum. I'm 19, about 6 feet tall and 215 lbs. I'm from Everett, a city in Washington, about 50 miles North of Seattle. It rains a lot. I like to read anything that's fiction, play video games (mostly rpgs but every genre has it's place on my shelves), and watch movies. I practice Tae Kwon Do, and have about 4 years of experience in that. I've also started learning parkour, but haven't really gotten past rolling just yet. I would like to lose about 30 pounds, and definitely become more flexible. I can touch my shins I think. I tend to be really shy and am bad at meeting people, so I hope to meet lots of the cool people here and become friends. Quote Link to comment

Alethea Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hiya! Triple thumbs up (can I do that?) at the flexibility goal. Awesome choice! You'd be amazed at all the different ways it comes in handy, especially martial arts and parkour. Is TKD your primary exercise, or do you do anything else on the side? If you want, come join our 28 Day Challenge, and level up 3-4 goals in the next month. It's a great way to meet people here, and we nag you to stay accountable. Also, woot RPGs! What do you play? We have a few FF addicts on the site (myself included), but I have been known to play BG and my personal favorite multiplayer game, BG:DA2 Quote "Let another say. 'Perhaps the worst will not happen.'

KypNydan Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'd say it was my primary exercise. About 8 hours a week. I've also been going to the gym once or twice a week for about an hour or two each time. I do like FF, although my brother is a much bigger fan. I personally prefer the Grandia series. Not as long, but the story and combat system more than make up for it. BG was a very good series. Me and my brother used to play it all the time. Quote Link to comment
Gowaduv Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Welcome- another Snohomish county resident here. I don't think it's too late to jump into the March challenge if you have a small handful of fitness goals you'd like to work on and want to meet some peeps on the board- touching your toes and general flexibility can be a goal.
