To increase accountability and to help motivate people, i thought I would post my short and long term goals. I would love to hear what yours are too..
Short Term (3-6 Months)
1. Complete 1 round of Les Mills Combat (ultimate warrior set) with up to 10 lbs of fat loss
2. Eliminate diet soda and all drinks with artificial sweetners
3. Reduce supplements and improve nutrition to eat more natural foods.
Long Term (6-9 months)
1. Abs - this is my ultimate goal by Mid-Late June (vacation)
2. Clean up my eating - increase whole food intake, decrease processed foods and drinks.

These are my fitness related goals, mostly, for this year.0 -
Lose 10 lbs of mostly fat
Preserve lean muscle mass
Reduce BF% to 17%0 -
Don't really have any body composition goals other than get bigger and looked jacked. I'd like to eventually bench 3 plates and pull 4, but that will take a while. Can't squat due to knee currently...0
-
Bulk until about mid April, then cut down to (hopefully) single digit body fat by June. Reassess then.0
-
Gain Muscle Mass/decrease fat.0

Gain Muscle Mass/decrease fat.
^^^this
to be my best one day at a time.
and look good naked.0 -
Short-term (3 months)
- get down to a low enough BF% to bulk (probably need to be down about 2 - 3% more)
- lifting:
- get the big plate on for my bench
- squat 1.5x BW
- get 3 big plates on for my deadlift
- OHP over 100lb
- run/walk 5k in less than 30 minutes (only because I was tricked into doing it!)
Long-term
- keep doing bulk/cut cycles until I am happy with my body composition
- I am not sure what my potential is for lifting so just want to keep progressing0 -
Achieve my six pack that I've been dying for.
Once that is complete I will go on a nice clean bulk to make some more gains everywhere esle.
Nd progress in my sport by pushing myself nd working harder to better myself overall nd stabalize a solid jumpshot!

I just laughed out loud at this. 1.5xBW? Am I understanding that right? 1.5*BW in weights on top of you? 'Cause I squat like .08 lol. *cries* I just looked up a video of someone doing their body weight and I am super impressed. That's incredible.0 -
Short Term (until mid-Feb):
- 475+ lb CF Total (back squat + OHP + deadlift)
- lower BF% to <25%, Bod Pod appointment for mid-Feb
- increase speed for running (speedwork workouts twice a week)
- bench press 100+ lbs
Longer Term (6 months):
- Long Island Marathon, Half Marathon, 5/5/13, sub 2:15:00
- lower BF% to ~20% by half marathon
- 500+ lb CF Total
Long Term (big picture):
- No more ED issues, binges included
- try a tri Tri for the Cure
- BCF Showdown in August, first CrossFit competition0 -
1). Reach my goal weight
2) Maintain my weight
3). Design my own personal resistance workout
4). Do it! And keep a diary of my workouts and progress.
5). Run 3 times a week and run the 10 km Vancouver Sun Run in April. ( this is something I do every year complete with champagne and jello shooters after the race)
6). That reminds me, cut back on alcohol consumption, use ibuprophen and prescription drugs for pain:)
7). Go into surgery with no inflammation ( from proper rest and physio) and achieve optimal recovery afterwards. (No shoulder pain, build rotator cuff muscles and pour coffee with my right hand again:). )
I anticipate that 2) maintain my weight will be the trickiest, I've never deliberately done this before0 -

Yes - I can currently do 1.4x BW but I am not expecting to up it too much over the next couple of months while cutting more. And thanks.
It really just takes doing it enough and making sure your form is good to improve your stats. Watch loads of videos and read loads to get your form down. Eating a decent amount helps too.

When I set time contraints I get over stressed and usually fail, but goals are. . .
1.) healthier relationship with food and eating
2.) build up my bench/overhead press
3.) gain overall strength
4.) eat more natural foods for nutrients sake
5.) sleep better
6.) lower sweetener intake
7.) educate myself
8.) learn to feel good about myself0 -
Squat bodyweight
lower body fat, eventually to 20-22%
run a consistent 8 or 9 minute mile.....Not that you guys gaf about that.
be able to see all of my abs.....not just 4, under a bunch of fat. lol0 -
oh, and do more than 5 pull ups.0

oh, and do more than 5 pull ups.
Ooo - thats a good one. I think I am going to include a chin/pull up goal also.0 -
OK, so I am a bit embarrassed by my measly goals to compared with some that have been posted, however here goes :ohwell:
In the next 3 months : 1. Reduce my body fat levels to under 30% (dependant on the DEXA scan at the end of this month, I will get more specific then).
2. Complete a set of walking lunges,
3. Average 10 000 steps per day ( guess who got a Fitbit for Xmas ?)
Of course my ultimate aim is to look more like Sarauk2sf, and less like Mr Blobby!0 -
Most of my goals aren't specific to any time frame - the only one that is specific is that I would like to run 1000 miles in 2013. I'm closer to some than to others but what I generally do is set a new goal as soon as I reach one.
Finish a Half Marathon in less than 2 hours (current PR is 2:21:41)
Finish a 10K in less than 50 minutes (current PR is 54:41)
Finish a 5K in less than 23:00 (current unofficial PR is 24:03, official is 25:23)
Do ten consecutive pull-ups (I might be able to do one right now but I haven't tried in a while)
Bench Press 225x5
Squat 285x5
Deadlift 315x50 -
- My general goal is to maintain what I accomplished this year.
- I also want to stay in the 15 - 17% BF% range, preferably closer to 15%.
- I am also not sure of my lifting potential so I will continue working towards that. Baby steps.
- I think that is it. Not many goals but I am sure I will find more as the year progresses.0 -
My biggest goal is to maintain balance and keep a zen approach to my fitness. I'm horrible with specific fitness goals because my motivation doesn't tend to work that way. I know...lame, but at this point in my life, that is how it is. If I have to nail down some specific, tangible goals other than that, it would be:
- to hold my handstands for much longer with control
-hike the Manitou incline in less than 35 minutes (my best is 36 minutes)
-hike Pike's Peak this year
- have enough zumba choreography down to certify and be able to teach two different classes worth of choreography
- improve my lifts, even if by a little (lifting is not my top priority)0
