Awesome!! Last month I tried the rock wall climbing in the college's gym. I pushed passed self-doubt and made it to the top! 😄

[EpicTortillas]

Thats so cool! I'm proud of you! I've always had an irrational fear of being upside down and heights.
Yet I jump out of planes in the military  

I'm glad you managed to push passed your self doubt!

Anything in life is possible with drive and determination!

[Taurus21]

Very true!  I was already trying to improve my upper body strength and climbing reminded me of that and motivated me.

@EpicTortillas Go you!! Way to conquer your fear! Any words of advice on how you did it?

@Taurus21 Wow, I've never been able to rock climb very well, and especially not to the top of a rock. What did you do to get yourself to push past your fear?

@Gandhi That's so many steps! If you aren't already in a challenge, I think you should join one 🙂

@I-train-hard , @fitmissjen You guys, that's incredible, I'm so impressed!

So, what are your next goals to accomplish everyone? (:

[I-train-hard]

Well, after doing so many steps I realized that is not what I want.

I lost weight but it wasn’t fat, most of it was my muscle and that is unfortunate because I need muscle to burn my calories.

I thought about my priorities and weight lifting, HITT, Tabata comes first.

On Sundays I could walk or run for 30 min but that’s it.

My goal is to have an athletic body. Without muscle I would have my skin covering my bones and I really wouldn’t like it.

I hit my 10,000 steps yesterday!  I'm a new fitbit user, so I'm pretty happy about it.  I didn't think I would make it but I got my butt off the couch yesterday after dinner and made myself go for a brisk walk.  I felt really good afterward and was able to work in some hills.  I wish I would have worn my running shoes because I actually felt like running once I got out there.

[betpchem]

Yay, @MorganAsh! Good for you! I agree that having that goal is really motivating. Keep us informed of your progress. 🙂

[WendyB]

Wow all have been impressive! WTG to all of you!

[hockeyguynick]

Awesome guys! I've hit a bunch of 1 rep maxes lifting, but that's not a big deal because I just started doing heavier lifts vs high reps to cut fat. My biggest accomplishment is pull ups, never been any good at em ever, even in my h.s. football days I could only do a few, but I managed 3 sets of 8 today

[Yusri]

Agree with you.

From my experience, having our mindset of so many steps target will somehow not giving us the athletic body we want.

Hence I concentrate on fitness training, bodyweight training so on. But somehow those activities will not give us that many steps to champion the accepted challenges 🙂

It's OK with me though, having athletic body is much more important than steps-champion-badges all over my profile.

Probably not overly awesome but I have just gotten into mountain biking at the ripe old age of 51, after many years of being an overweight couch potato.

Already finding uphills I had to walk up I am riding up already after only a few weeks .

I am finding it a good way to exercise as I enjoy it so much I forget I am exercising .

[betpchem]

And that's exactly the kind of exercise you want @Shakri101 Good for you to have found something you like to do!

[Shakri101]

Yes it is easy to exercise if you like it @betpchem, I went out twice today for an hour in total according to my fitbit with an average of around 130 heart rate so a good workout.  The park is only a 10 minute drive from home so also makes it good.

I even found the energy to paint the bathroom inbetween rides . 

[Paradise555]

I got my 200 consecutive day of reaching my daily goals on JAN 9th.

[CallieM]

Awesome job to everyone in this thread! You all have been so active! Keep it up

[Joylyn126]
