non looks, non sports goals?

ishallnotwant

Do any of you have goals that are completely unrelated to looking hot, playing sports, etc-but are things you hope will improve as you get more fit?

I love, love, LOVE to sing...but right now i'm kind of out of shape and my asthma acts up and i get short of breath while trying to sing certain songs. I'm hoping that by exercising and building up my lung/aerobic capacity, I will be able to keep up with more challenging songs as I get more fit (and not get out of breath so easily). I may reward myself with voice lessons when I hit my goal weight...it would be so fun! :blushing:

That's so cool! I never even thought about having goals that don't fall in those categories.
I think you should definitely get those voice lessons!

Nope. The ONLY reason I'm cutting is to look better naked.

Not having my hip or back give out at inopportune moments is really nice.

Then again, is there really ever a GOOD time to have your hip or back give out?!

I do suppose it could effect other areas of my life, but I honestly can't think of annnny!

I'd have to second Cacrat. I'm just vain. It's all vanity.

I'm 61 so "hotness" doesn't loom too big in my lifestyle!
My goals are more fitness and emotional centered. I practice Tai Chi, love Jazzercise and hope to learn yoga soon. Peace, strength, flexibility and balance are my goals.:flowerforyou:

Confidence, I think. DH noticed that I even walked differently when I was smaller. I didn't realize it until he pointed it out, but even my stride changed. I was more willing to take little risks, too - like trying different cuts and colors with my hair, or wearing clothing that stands out rather than just always going with the default.

But on a slightly more practical level, I want to strengthen my ankles, knees and back, and stop over-stressing them so much with fluctuating body weight. I'm a little too prone to rolling my ankles just due to my walking posture, and the extra weight doesn't help... and my back muscles would definitely benefit from planned strengthening + less fat to support.

I travel a lot for work. It would be great to put the armrest down between myself and the passenger sitting next to me!! Luckily I don't need a belt extension! Hips and butt to lose ASAP

Keep blood pressure, fat leading to other health issues, being able to run with my daughter, keep my 11 boys b-ball team in check, bone density, general health, use or lose it, etc. etc etc.
