New Year's Fitness Goals

[CrispyQ]

What are yours?

My plan is to maintain my great consistency with workouts during the month of December. I sort of lost it this week -- two more days missed for a total of six missed days this month, but it is far & above better than any other month this year!

It's gonna be a challenge as I resigned from my part time job & will start working full time January 7, but sometimes I manage my time better when I have less of it. Do you find that as well?

What are your fitness goals for '08?

1. My Goals

My Goals
Running: 6 minute mile (Consistently 7 minutes)
Bench: 185lbs x 10reps (Currently 170)
Deadlift: 200lbs x 8 reps (Currently 160)
Squat: 225lbs x 8 reps (Currently 200)
10 Wide Grip unassisted pullups (Currently 5)
Pay more attention to flexability possibly try yoga

Winter Specific:
Go skiing every Saturday
Go to indoor Rock Climbing Gym Sunday

Also, I really need to figure out why I'm so stiff in my right lower back. Left side is fine, right side has 1/2 the flexability of the left.

2. I'm taking it one month at a time.

My goal for January is to burn 7000 calories (two pounds.) Since a 300-calorie session on my recumbent exercise bike takes 50 to 60 minutes, that works out to about 20 sessions or roughly five times a week, which is realistic, based on my work schedule. I may be able to do more but that's my goal.

3. I have 3, one is kind of odd.

I want to put on 15 lbs of muscle;

I want to run in an actual marathon. Not win, but run Clydesdale class and finish;

The odd one...

There's a guy at my gym that's morbidly obese, probably around 300 lbs. He's trying really hard, but needs a little guidance. Doesn't really know exactly what to do. He's asked me for advice, sort of off-the-cuff a few times. I'm thinking about committing to helping him out on a professional level. I think we can pull 75 lbs of crap off of him this year. So, my big fitness goal is for another person.

4. Lucky guy!

Good luck on all three goals!
