rpearcemoses Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 The short-term goal: get through a ten minutes treadmill cardio stress test in August. Long-term goal: live an active life in retirement (which starts a week before the cardio stress test). Although I've been somewhat active earlier in life (bicycling, gym), have been a chronic sufferer of deskjobitise for five years, sitting in front of a computer. Waist is larger, arms are weaker, stamina is gone. I found out about NF this week, and I'm diving in. Call me impulsive. I like the sense of accountability, and I'm hoping my colleague will join me for some in-person accountability. I don't know how this works yet, but that never stopped me before. Goals To have a healthy heart and get through the cardio stress test- I will walk to the clubhouse three times a week (Sun, Wed, Fri)- I will add at least five minutes per week (starting at five minutes) on the elliptical- I will do the beginner body workout three times per week (Mon, Thu, Sat) and able to complete three sets in six weeks (starting with one)20 body weight squats10 push ups20 walking lunges10 dumbbell rows (using a gallon milk jug)15 second plank30 Jumping Jacks - To lose a little weight (goal: 200, loss of 10 pounds) Life quest Reveal the hidden knowledge of archives- Write fifteen minutes every weekday.
