I want to hear what you’ve done recently that you’re proud of.

    I didn’t want to work out today but I did.

    I’ll try to do the same tomorrow.

      Nice! Just getting there is a great way to create a habit.

    I’ve stuck to my routine and diet for a month now, and had someone tell me that i looked healthy recently.

    I did 8 pull ups in a row unassisted and then ran two miles. Feel pretty good about that.

    I hit a 4 plate (405lbs/183kg) deadlift for 5 reps the other day. When I finished, a fellow gym bro dapped me up and said “nice job, you’re strong.” I wasn’t really looking for compliments, but it was definitely a great feeling!

      That’s a solid lift! Do you compete?

        Thanks! I don’t compete, but I’ve always thought about it. I think I might be too old to start lol I’m 31 and am really just trying to see how strong I can get before my body doesn’t let me do it anymore

          I did my first meet at 34. My friend has been setting records in his late 50s. You have a lot of years of lifting left.

    I’ve been trying to go to my fitness class once a week. I’m keeping it up, so now I might bump it up to twice a week!

    I started running again recently after having neglected exercise for nearly a year and worked up three miles without stopping to walk the other day.

      Three miles strait having only started recently is solid

    >10k steps/day (on average) since half a year. Often up some hills around here. Had a few days “off” with sickness or injuries, but also other (e.g. hiking) days with multiples of that. Good for mental health, eyesight, and some (basic) conditioning.

    Very good track record of going to the gym 3 times per week for a year. Few exceptions. Eating well. I can feel and see improvements, and apparently so can others. Likely in the best shape of my life so far, and let’s see where we can go. I once read male fitness tends to peak around 25-27, but I’m much better now than back then and not intending to stop improving for a while still.

      Actually, 25-27 is for females. Makes peak at 35-ish. After that, it’s where whatever you’ve been doing in your previous years shows up (either good or bad).

      Sounds like you’ve been doing some real great work. Fitness “peaking” can be very personal. I’m in my late 30s and in the best shape of my life.

    I rowed 21k meters on my rowing machine this week, which is more than double my previous distance record. I’m new to rowing and having a lot of fun with it (and seeing some results, too!)

        In this case it was a bike and a run back-to-back. In general, it can be any 2 workouts back-to-back. But generally, it means a bike then run. You use it to practice transitions, as well as helping the legs learn going from biking form to running form as it can be a weird transition for people.

    Squatted 190KGx1 and Deadlifted 205KGx4.

    Not all time PRs, but getting back to where I was ~8 years ago.

    I made going to the gym a habit. Went to the gym for 25 out of 30 days in june. And I need a new belt right now, since the old one wasnt helping keeping my pants up anymore.

      Nice work! You’ve done the hard part. As for belts, I got tired of cheap fake leather ones getting destroyed every 6 months and bought a custom made real leather belt fit to my size. It’s lasted about 5 years now with another decade or two left in it. I’m a fan.
