New in Town

[Emilt]

Hey. I'm Emil. I used to swim competitively, and through that, a combo of genetics, and sheer luck, I managed to somehow be "healthy" without caring. Now I'm getting older, and I no longer swim, so I've become... less than healthy..

I discovered NF a few months ago, when I needed to learn how to do a pull up, then again, when I was looking for a basic workout, and I figured it was about time I actually signed up. The past few days I've been doing my ten minute walks and the beginner body weight circuit. After the awesome email about classes I decided to hurry up and get on here in the effort to become the master assassin.

So here's your fair warning; I'll be bugging you guys on the forums from here on out, then even more starting 7/28 (I think that's when the next challenge starts?).

Welcome, Emil!  Did you succeed in mastering the pull-up?  I am still so far away from being capable of this!!!  It's one of my goals, though.

 

Welcome aboard in any case!  I hope you find support and motivation here!

 

Pssssst no need to wait for the challenge to start if you want to get going now!  Why not create a daily battle log and start moving towards your goals?  You can always swap to a challenge thread when it's time.

I have zero arm strength. The day I can do even the worst full pull-up will be a celebration indeed. Welcome aboard, Emil!

I was eventually able to do one, but just barely.. And since that was my only goal, I kinda just flopped after that. And thanks for the idea with the battle logs! I still don't understand most of what's going on on this site I guess

Don't worry, most of us newbies are wandering around trying to figure out what's going on here! All that matters is that you're here and you want to learn and work on things.

 

And yes, that's the next Challenge start date. It'll be my first Challenge, too!

 

Glad to have you here.
