Greetings and salutations

So this whole site is fascinating and I decided to take the plunge and create a profile.  To be candid, I don't really understand the site that well but I'll be patient - message board navigation is not something I would claim as a strength in the description of my character attributes.  Speaking of which, still a bit confused as to how I create a full character like everyone seems to have or to sign up for challenges, etc. but I assume that comes with time.

 

As for me, I've been into fitness for years... but staring down my 40th birthday and have decided to up the ante.  This group seems a good way to get a jump-start on that.  I have a pretty varied fitness background (college baseball, triathlon/marathon, martial arts, yoga, skiing... and, of course, just lifting heavy things and putting them down), so I guess I'd be a Ranger - but still figuring out if I need to complete a challenge or quest or something first to prove my mettle!

 

Anyway, happy to be here.  Look forward to figuring out how to navigate the site and getting to know y'all.

Welcome to the Rebellion! The character creation stuff is completely optional, not everyone does it. The challenges are a fun way of creating new habits, pushing yourself, and staying accountable. They were previously 6-week challenges, but we're currently trialling them at 4 weeks to see how it works. We're just coming up on halfway through the current challenge, but there's no reason why you can't jump on board and get a feel for it. You could head over to the Rebel section and get started.

 

If you have any questions, there's always plenty of helpful people around.

I've been here since Monday and I think I have a couple things figured out.  But, then again, I'm still a Noob.  Read, lurk, comment, learn.
