Seeking Fitness oriented MFP members to unite with
REDMANIV
Posts: 348 Member
Hello MFP family. I am approaching my third year of being off and on MFP.
Right now I am enjoying my longest period of actively logging into the app
to track my fitness goals. Due to the nature of my work I have not been
able to log or track my food for the past 5 months. That is all about to
change as I am coming back home so I will be logging food again starting
next week.
This week began the 21st consecutive week that I have been in the gym for 5
days a week. I use a POLAR Heart Rate Monitor and training program to set
my fitness goal for the week. My current breakdown goal breakdowns set by
the program are 6 hours 30 minutes of cardio per week and 5,000 calories to
be burned per week. My workouts are broken up over the three heart rate
zones. In addition to my cardio burns I complete 100 push ups per workout
and I plan to keep cycling through the ab challenge until I can see my abs again.
Ok enough of that.
What I am seeking from this post is 5 to 10 friends who are willing to work
out 5 or more times a week and most importantly log your efforts in daily
and comment on each others fitness accomplishments. This is a busy time of
the year and fitness normally takes a back seat. I am returning home after
being gone for 5 months and I am committed to keeping my workout regimen
going.
If this shoe does not fit I definitely understand however if it does please
feel free to either add me or I will be happy to add you.
My short term goal - Make it to 26 weeks of working out 5 days per week.
My long term goal - Make it to 52 weeks of working out 5 days per week.
Thanks in advance,
Fred

That's awesome Sauce! Working out can be a good kind of addiction I believe. I have already started crossing out junk food that I will no longer be putting into my body! I look forward o offering you support!

I'm in the gym as often as I can be, sometimes it's 3 days a week sometimes 6....it all depends as I have a few kids. I'm not a cheerleader, but am interested in connecting with people who are proud gym rats.0

I'm older than most of you here, but I do workout 4 or 5 days a week, lifting weights, swimming, doing circuit training and walk/run with my dog.
I've logged everyday for over 800 days and lost about 75 lbs in that time.
I'm a pretty good friend but don't read food diaries because they drive me crazy..........I can't take it when people don't eat enough......I'd rather not know about it....;)

Hello guys. Hope am not too late. I am very active and have alittle fitness addiction. I workout as much as I can which some weeks is 3 days some it's 5 all depends on my work schedule but days i work it's 12hrs running all over the hospital and clocking about 3miles. I like running daily about 5miles a day and some weightlifting. Started getting into boxing to help release some steam also. Love circuit training and jump roping. I will do food log in when i feel i have fallen off my eating habbits and start skipping meals to help me get back on track then i stop since it's so time consuming. Will love to join u guys in staying accountable and cheering one another.0

I certainly can be really wordy with my posts I like to believe that is because I was raised by women primarily. I got my pom poms ready! Go Team Gymrats0 -

Your running reminds me of a quote Will Smith once made when asked how he stays in such good shape.. "If you run 5 miles per day you can eat whatever you want"
Keep up the fantastic work and welcome to team FitnessFanatics0 -

My dream is to have a cardio machine at home! I have that on my wish list and will be looking for a good deal over this coming year. Luckily I live around a lot of hills of varying degrees of incline so I can bundle up and still get a decent workout in.
Shoe wise I have flat feet, wear orthodics and run in ASICS Gel-Kayano 20's0 -

Thank you for the reply and the link! It is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I posted my results for tonights workout and I will definitely be checking out the bodybuilder.com link to find some more strenght exercises that I can start doing soon to build more strength! Looking to build lean muscle as I get down into the 185-190 weight range.0 -

Hey Fred!! You are a great cheerleader and I was lucky to have friended you a couple of years ago. You've been very inspirational over the years.
Do you have a squat rack at home or do you go to a gym? I'm toying with the idea of trying to progress from dumb bells. I bought a curl bar. But hope I get strong enough to need a barbell for squats and presses and deadlifts. I exercise before work at home but don't have space for a weight lifting set up. I've studied videos from Stronglifts, fitness blend, and a few others for dumb bell work.0 -

Hello Super Shelby! I am very thankful to have had your support over the past couple of years. You have stuck with me through my long absences from MFP and I really appreciate you!
I do not have any weights at home as of yet. I would like to get a home set up however the money is not right to do that presently so I will be heading to one of the many military gyms that are in my area. I have spent the past 5 months watching Marines and Sailors hitting the weights hard and I am getting close to catching the bug. Have a wonderful weekend and see you on the page.0 -
