    I'm lucky enough to work in a physical therapy clinic where many of us spend the lunch hour working out. Basically I'm going to keep doing what the PTs tell me (they're so bossy), plus TRX and cardio on my own time.

    I'm sticking with SL5x5 until I'm sure I got everything out of it since I'm still losing weight. Once I'm sure I can't progress more with that I am probably going to run Madcow for a while and then maybe try 5/3/1. Everything is really still up in the air as I'm losing weight.

    I'm also doing a 20 pull up program which I should be able to finish off in the next month or so.

    I intend to start a running program in the late winter/spring timeframe as I want to improve cardio so I can perform better in Ultimate.

    Outside of that, who knows.

    I just started Krav Maga this month. It's tough but really fun. I have a hard time working out for the sake of working out - I'd much rather be doing things like hiking or nordic skiing, but unfortunately I can't get out and do those things often enough to make them a major part of my exercise routine. So I'm hopeful that Krav will be good for me since I'm actually enjoying myself.

    I'm going to continue 3/5/1 with an extra bench day if I have time. I'm also going to try to fit in cardio at lunch occasionally.

    I'm working as a group fitness instructor in mid-January, so I'll be doing that class plus a few other classes. I want to add back in weight training (after taking some time off) just on my own.

    One of the classes I'm most excited to do is Stand-up Paddle Board Yoga.

    All I can do is walk, but I'm walking 2.5 to 3 miles a day. I'm hoping to be up to five in the next few months. Have to get doc's approval to do more. I lost 35 pounds in 2015. I'm shooting for 40+ in 2016! I got my Fitbit Charge today! Yay!

    Kettlebells. I recently started to work with Kettlebells and love them. It's a full body workout that I enjoy.

    I have no idea. I work as a new nurse and I am night shift 3 nights out of the week. I am really having a hard time being motivated to fit in a healthy lifestyle since this life change. I was on a roll after I graduated nursing school. I want to lose weight and be healthier. If any night shifters have motivation ideas and a plan feel free to share. How can I make it work? I will lose and I will eventually have a plan!

    I have started the Jamie Eason's LiveFit 12-week trainer. I have been consistent in working out all year, but want to get more regimented in the way I workout. I have that program, which I am into Day 2 of, and have also signed up for Zumba classes at my local community centre. Those classes will be every Wednesday for 9 weeks. I have a Fitbit so will continue working to reach my goal of 10,000 steps a day.

    Training to improve my times for 5K, 10K and half marathon distances.
    Kettlebells for a bit of resistance work at home.
    I need to look for a cheaper gym membership really, once the New Year surge lessens a bit.

    After being injured in a car crash in September, my plan is to start working out in the pool three x a week beginning Monday when the Y resumes its regular schedule. I bought ankle weights meant for the water so I can add resistance to strengthening my hip, which was fractured. What I am starting is to complement what I am doing in physical and occupational therapy, which I am in 4x a week.

    From late May until my 40th birthday in July I'll be doing this 40 workout strength challenge . The rest of the year, I'll likely run some iteration of 531.

    That's looks amazing!
