    1. Be able to do a full sun salutation at yoga, and not need to use my hands to help scoot my foot forwards when returning to the lunge before standing up.
    2. Being able to walk into a shop and pull a size off the shelf, and know that it will fit the way it was designed to. I'm one size away from that happening, and it's an amazing feeling!
    3. Having a more healthy relationship with food.

    I would love to run a mile without stopping. I have NEVER done that! It's kind of cold outside now but in the spring time...I'm doing it! For now, it's cardio inside for me. :)

    I know what you mean about #1... it feels good to stretch properly again.

    Oh, I forgot...I want to see my collar bones again! I don't even remember what they look like! Just the outline would be fine, I don't want to be super skinny like a model, but I miss them terribly. ;)

    four years ago, I had visible abs, big shoulders and tons of strength and stamina. I want to try and get that fit again.

    I want abs, maybe not a 6 pack, just 2 or 3 would be awesome!

    Thank you for starting this topic, @Ponkeen! I've been curious about "NSGs" as well.

    My 2015 resolution was to try 10 sports. I accomplished that goal 2 weeks ago, and along the way I've been getting fitter and stronger.

    I haven't written out my 2016 goals yet, but they will be strength, endurance, and flexibility oriented. The #1 goal is to be able to do a pull-up. I've never been able to do one, so it's a big deal to me. This is what prompted me to join MFP. As I so eloquently told my coworker: if I'm going to do a pull-up I can't be lifting all this!

    You're welcome! Here's to pull ups! :)

    They don't seem silly at all. I post goals pretty much every month in a lifting group on here, plus a writing group. One is scale related but everything else tends to be focused on other aspects.

    I have big term goals and small term ones. The big ones that I am working time frames on still include:

    kayak
    obstacle/trail run - am signed up for one on May 21st that is a 10k
    learn to dance
    learn some hand to hand combat - not sure style/type yet, it's for a writing thing
    run a half-marathon - fall 2016

    I also have weight lifting specific goals that vary from just adding 5 more lbs to the bar on lifts to reaching body weight related goals such as: squat 1.5 x bodyweight, deadlift 2x bodyweight and bench bodyweight.

    Like to keep things interesting. There are others but the basics are there. I have also considered something like tough mudder or others of that nature but not sure I want to go that route, or just focus more on the lifting and look into maybe a competition. Just have to wait and see.

    Oo I love this!

    1. Begin training and then complete a full marathon by 2017.
    2. Do at least ONE pull up because I've never been able to.
    3. Run a full 10K without slowing down to walk.
    4. Go to Cedar Point and ride every roller coaster because I haven't been able to in years.
    5. I'd also love to go skydiving...every time it's come up there's always an excuse not to, not anymore.
    6. To be able to buy jeans in any store I go in to.
    7. Meal prep every single week instead of every other like I do now.

    To be able to wrap one towel all the way around. The top connects but the bottom is wide open. Idk why but this is one of my big goals!

    This is great! I have a few, so here goes:
    1. Front splits
    2. One pull-up
    3. Headstand
    4. A more defined waist (as much as genetics allow).
    5. Keep to a schedule of 3 gym sessions per week.
    6. Squat bodyweight (and then some!)

    Just about everything in this video including being that lean but 1:05-1:15 really blows me away. The flag, too, like Alloutof_bubblegum mentioned (00:45-00:50).
