Solstice Tiger Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hello, Nerd Fitness. Long time lurker, first time poster. (Well, I read the e-mails...haven't lurked in the forums for any significant period of time.) I like the attitude of NF and I decided this was my year to get serious about several aspects of self-improvement. So here I am! Overall, I'm in pretty good shape. My doctor never really has anything bad to say when I visit, except for a few times when I was a little on the heavier side. But I'm 5'10 and around 150lbs, so I'm about where I should be in terms of height/weight (as far as the doc is concerned). I've never had much of a problem staying around that weight. But I want to be better. I can do everyday stuff, tote 50lb boxes around, but I want to be able to do more interesting stuff. My biggest goal in that vein is to become an Assassin. Parkour fascinates me, and I've thought for a long time that it would be so cool if I could do that too. And I just finished reading Divergent and really want to be Dauntless, so there's that. I'm already the ninja of my friend group, and every time I go hiking I get my second wind when we get to the top of the mountain and I can run around the boulders. Bulleted list of smaller goals:Get stronger (gotta be able to pull myself up over walls)Run better (gotta get from wall to wall)Increase agility and flexibility (don't wanna injure something jumping over walls)I have a small support group IRL, but it's mostly my boyfriend who's been doing his own thing in the afternoons since he's off work before I am. So I thought NF might be able to bolster me on my journey. Nice to meet y'all.

Solstice Tiger Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks! I'll be heading to the "Help me design a workout" area soon here so that I can get some help putting something together to help me get there. Right now, parkour is the shiny in the sky, but I need some concrete, here-on-earth workouts before I can get up there!
