This is it, I WILL make it!

[StephentheKorean]

Hey everyone! My name is Stephen and I'm new around these parts! I'm a young guy of 17 going on 18 soon and I've decided that I should get myself in shape for college and hopefully the rest of my life. I already eat pretty healthily for an average American (don't eat out very often, healthy homecooked meals and good control over my eating habits) but I really want to achieve a fitness level beyond what I am at currently. That is very slightly overweight although in a much better position than a lot of people. I do attend Taekwondo classes which is something but I hope to start working out regularly with the help of this amazing community which in turn will improve my quality of life and martial arts training! I would also like to start parkour somewhere down the line but that's after I get into better shape. I have made half hearted attempts to get into shape in the past but this time I mean it, I AM going to make it!

 

I haven't exactly chosen a class yet but I am leaning more towards the Monk role although I also like the Ranger, Assassin and Adventurer classes as well - who knows? 

 

I am a fan of Game of Thrones, Star Wars and a big gamer with special emphasis on games that require strategical thinking (Civ V, Total War, Mount and Blade, etc.).

Welcome and good luck with your journey!

StarWars? YES! "Do or do not. There is no try."

Awesome, welcome to NF!  

 

Are you going to join the next challenge? It starts on the 17th and would be a good way to meet other members and get advice.  It definitely sounds like you would make a good Monk but I'm sure any of the other guilds would be happy to have you too!  You are supposed to do your first challenge as a Rebel and then you can post in the Monks or Rangers etc, but that doesn't mean you can't read or post in any of the sections.  Have a good look around and get a feel for what each mini-community is like.

 

Maybe @Machete can give you some advice?
