I have worked out every single day since Feb 8th 2012. I walk over 20km every day as well as doing a full workout that goes for 1.5 hours at least. I get over 30,000 steps on most days even though my personal minimum is 20,000. I never sit down for more than 5 mins at a time & even then only about 3-4 times a day. I sleep about 4 hours a night. I never cheat & never have a rest day.
All with a back injury & I lost almost 80lbs in 7 months.
Forgot to add a brag... I run 10km easy daily (not during winter cause my knees dont like the cold same as my back) but this is from a person who could not run 10 meters without puffing away. Took me about 3 weeks to go from running nothing to 10km. I do that now in 50 min flat.0 -
I've been hitting 20,000 steps every day this week!
WOW!! Really, 20,000 every day ... HOW?
Seriously, I have only hit 17k twice and I was running around the city all day.0 -
I did my first non-kicking, straight-armed pull up on Monday...twice. I haven't been able to do that in maybe 15 years.
Then I went to the gym and upgraded to 150lb dumbbell bench press at 8 reps. Coincidentally, I'm now dumbbell deadlifting 150lbs just to get those 75lb bells into position.0 -
When i was doing Push-Ups last night at the gym i realised i wasn't lifting my own body-weight .. i was actually pushing the Earth away from me.
Hilarious.0 -

It's not hard to hit 20k every day. Hitting 40k is the harder one. I got to 30k yesterday just to 'beat' someone on my fitbit list. If I got to 17k I would not stop doing anything till I got to 20k, I'm just ODD like that.0 -
I finally caved in and became a Beachbody coach! I have struggled with weight loss since high school and these programs have really helped me lose weight, become stronger, and healthier. I have done P90X in the past and am about to finish Insanity now. Looking forward to T25 coming out and want to start a challenge group. Anyone interested?0

Love it0 -
Bump! I was push-pressing 50lbs this week. Probably doesn't sound like a lot to some, but it's a PB for me! BOOYAH.0

After doing 'Grese the Groove' training at work for a month, I can now do 4+ full-on Pistols (Single Leg Squats) on both legs.
IF these don't look tough, just give them a try!
I do 4 on each leg every hour at work, never did them outside of work, and the improvement was amazing!

This is honestly one of the best strength building routines I have ever done (have done with a few things over the years) and NOTHING has shown more consistent results.0 -
I did 4 rounds of circuit training last night- this included weighted pull ups- I did all 5 for each round with my 10 lb weight.
So 20 pull ups- with the 10 lb weight. I WAS PUMPED.
Also pulled a new DL PR last week... 265. <does happy dance>0 -

I just discovered these the other day while researching body weight vs heavy weight exercises. Holy crap! I can barely do 4 with assistance. In fact, I had to use my aerial silks to help get back up, otherwise I can only do negatives. I didn't think about doing them at work. Der...0 -
Great to see everyone hitting goals!! I went from 0-6 unassisted pullups in 5 weeks. My goal is to be at 10 by the end of July!
***AWESOME SAUCE!***0 -
I have been taking little bike rides (5ish miles, sometimes less) with the kids but wanted to take a 14.64 mile bike ride to the next town over from here. I did it this morning in 1 hour 49 minutes, only taking two 2 minute breaks and never walking. Not bad for my first long bike ride.0

Ran my first half marathon last weekend (had leg cramp problems and finished in 2 hours 47 minutes. Signed up for another one in 3 weeks. And this morning I held the plank at boot camp for 4 minutes 30 seconds.0

Just started this week completing 100 (REAL) push-ups a day!!! Normally I've been hitting 25-30 before I break and then back at it again! Considering two years ago I could barely do one girly push-up, I'd say this is worth bragging rights! Feeling strong! : )0

I'm proud on a 12k day! I'm impressed!0 -
After seven months of walking the treadmill holding on (and making excuses why I needed to), last week I started to let the front rails go! It's been a challenge but I'm happy I finally got a grip (no pun intended) and stopped being a scaredey cat. I'm getting a much better workout now, and have yet to fall off!!!0

The first goal i set for this summer was swimming the equivalent of an Olympic Marathon swim at my Y. 10km.
Completed that challenge in July.
Next goal, dead lift my own weight. Currently 210. I consider 3 sets of 8 reps as completing for this goal.
This week I took a big step toward that goal.
2 sets of 5 reps at 225# (bar plus two 45's each side) and 6 reps at 205.0
