Fitness Bucket List for Women
Replies
-
Hello and congratulations on your weight loss thus far. I am working on losing some weight too. Where are you located please?
...So I can attempt to sell you Body By Vi?0 -
I'd have to lose quite a bit of weight before I could squat/deadlift anywhere near my weight. Well when I weighed 220, I did deadlift more than my weight but not 1.5 my weight
0 -
- Wide-grip pull-ups
- Do a split (I'm already pretty flexible, shouldn't take much work)
- Look toned and be happy with what I see in the mirror
- ooo, I like that one -- Hand-stand push-ups, I might be able to do these already, I'll check later.
I have been doing handstands against a wall all day but it is hard!0 -
100 push ups consecutively....hopefully...someday...probably in the distant future...0
-
Run a 5K. if I can accomplishment that and I enjoy it, then I might try for longer distances.0
-
Women should also add:
Squat body weight
Deadlift 1.5x body weight
Done and Done.... I can do both!
1. Pull-up, they are ELUSIVE to me!
2. Run a half marathon0 -
Land an axel
Squat my bodyweight0 -
Hit a softball over a 300 foot fence during practice.
Hit a softball over a 300 foot fence during a game.
Hit a softball over a deeper fence.
Repeat.
NO WAY! THIS IS MINE EXACTLY!!!!! Haha. Be my friend!
Oh, and also...
1. Do a friggin' unassisted pull-up!
2. Do "real" push-ups, not the girlie kind
3. Run a 5K
4. And as stated...hit a friggin' homerun alread! Geesh!0 -
I wanna read this later....bumpity bump bump0
-
Run a mile without stopping
Increase my free weights to at least 20 pounds each (currently at 8 and ready to move uo to 10)
Be able to feel comfortable showing a teeny bit of skin0 -
Not attained:
1. The pull up also is a bit beyond my reach. I trained really hard and *almost* got there one year but I never quite made it. Stupid pull up.
2. A straddle-split. I can split frontwards but my muscles don't like to stretch the other way.
3. To be able to grasp my hands behind my back during a tricep stretch on BOTH sides. Now I can only do one and I feel lopsided.
Attained:
1. hiking into and out of the crater on Haleakala- 4 miles and 3000 feet of elevation change
2. 300 consecutive jumping jacks
3. Plank for 60 seconds
4. Tree for 60 seconds
***I have no desire to run a marathon- my knees are not up to it. I can do 5 push ups (like real-life boy pushups) and I think that makes me pretty badass***0 -
1. Ten unassisted pull-ups. (currently able to do 2)
2. Run a half-marathon
3. Do more push-ups. I can only do about 35 before my arms give out.0 -
Done and done.Women should also add:
Squat body weight
Deadlift 1.5x body weight
On my bucket list I have
Do one full pull up
Deadlift 185 pounds
Bench 100 pounds
Do a sprint triathlon0 -
Hmmm.....
I've done most of the things people have listed, (except Q's Axel and the softball stuff)
MUSCLE UPS!!!
double body weight squat and deadlift.0 -
Women should also add:
Squat body weight

-
1) Do a pullup (preferably multiple but I'd be happy to do 1)
ME TOO!! LOL0 -
I think all women should be judged by their snatches.0
-
I'm not so sure about that bucket list. I can do the plank and yoga poses, working on pushups but I never plan to do a half marathon. I did to a 10k though so at least I'm close :happy:
Personally I don't have specific goals, just to look sexy in a bikini for my future honeymoon (which was postponed) and to stay looking good for my husband
and myself of course. 0 -
1. run a marathon
2. hike a 14er
3. squat my weight (140)
4. dead lift my weight( 210)
5. 10 pull ups
6. 20 pushups
..ummmmm......0 -
run 1.5 miles in under 12:30
40 push ups in a minute
45 crunches in a minute
Once I can do that continuously, I'm ready to go back into the AF Reserves 0 -
I think all women should be judged by their snatches.
YES!
Wait, no.0 -
Recently MSN printed an article on the 4 Fitness Goals that every woman should try to reach :
1. Hold a plank pose for 60 seconds
2. Run a half-marathon
3. Pull off 10 push-ups
4. Hold the yoga tree pose for 60 seconds
Previously, my fitness goals included wanting to learn how to swim, completing a 5K and running a 10 minute mile.....but nothing really beyond that. However, after reading the article, I realize that I should really challenge myself to set longer term fitness goals...but I gotta start somewhere, right? lol~
So ladies.........what's on YOUR fitness bucket list????

Compete in a triathlon. I just learned how to ride a bike 3 weeks ago (at age 40), so I still have a ways to go.0

I can do all of the three mentioned -- ran a half marathon a few years ago. I actually held a plank for 7 minutes. It was a contest and I won. :smokin:

Do 10 unassisted pull ups (used to be able to bang off 7. Then I stopped doing them)
Do 3 unassisted 1-arm pull ups

I would def like to be able to squat my bodyweight or more!0
-
Mine:
Multiple unassisted pullups
Kipping pullups
Climb a rope (in pants and boots... I can do it in shorts and sneakers, just not the other way... weird, I know)
Get under a 7 min mile (I'd be happy with 6:59 honestly, I just want to see that 6!)
Complete a Tough Mudder race
Max a PT test
Swim a mile (possibly could do this now... I get bored in the pool tho...)0 -
I saw that article too. I wasn't too keen on the fact that they made the items so..........attainable. Bucket list? Isn't that supposed to be like lifetime achievement level stuff?
I also wasn't too fond of the fact that the men's list had several lifting benchmarks to hit, but the women's list did not. :huh:
I did jump up off my couch and test to see if I could hold tree pose for a minute. I can! :bigsmile:
Plank- not yet....but I will get there. Ditto with pullups.
Half-meh. Not interested.0
