Suguru Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I just posted over on the "Tell me about the guilds" forum, but I thought I should formally introduce myself here as well. My fitness history has been a bit all over the place. I went through a phase in high school (as many girls do) of dissatisfaction with my body and trying to lose weight in an unhealthy way. Since then I have become very passionate about the importance of having health, and not appearance, as a motivator for exercising and eating well. I think that is part of the reason I love the philosophy of NF so much. I did Couch to 5k about two years ago and since then have been running 5k about once a week, but not timing myself or pushing myself to go any faster or longer, partly because I keep slacking off for a couple weeks and then just running 5k feels like a challenge again! I also had a cheap university gym membership for six months last year and during that time experimented with Zumba, Boxing and the rowing and elliptical machines. Unfortunately, because I was intimidated by the big scary boys I didn't go near the free weights section once (stupid past self!) I have recently started going partner dancing once a week and although I'm not great at it, I have a lot of fun. Not long ago I discovered Nerd Fitness and the whole philosophy of the rebellion really resonated with me. I did the Beginner Bodyweight circuit for the first time last night and loved it! (I am really feeling the DOMS today, and I love that too!) I am very keen to continue with Bodyweight circuits 3x a week. As you can probably guess from my mixed-up exercise experiences, I definitely identify with the "jack-of-all-trades" philosophy of the Rangers. My long-term goals will include both running longer and faster and becoming stronger. I am excited to be here and look forward to a lifetime of "Leveling up"!
