I'm working toward increasing my steps from 5,000 to 10,000 or even more. I will increase my weight limit (I currently lift 5 pound weights) to 10 pounds by February. I will increase the time spent doing stretches to 20 minutes twice a day by March. Its time to add squats to my daily routine.5

The point for me is to give purpose to some of my rides - to give me an excuse to both travel further and also stop more to appreciate the scenery. This is opposed to always watching the bike computer and analyzing the metrics. I plan to explore more on my gravel bike.
@garystrickland357 I've been carrying my iPhone when running/walking the past 3 years. I did an excellent iPhone photography course in January (one of my 2018 goals), and this year I've exhibited in a gallery and sold photos I've taken.
Someone recently said I should do a book, so I might have to steal your goal!6 -
I pretty much sux at deadlifts. I'd like to pull 600, though I doubt my hands will allow that to happen.
:shame:1 -
Overall, I just want to keep getting better and doing more.
I'm still at a really high weight, so there are a lot of things I just can't do. This year, as I continue to get stronger and lose weight, I'd like to be able to 1) start doing actual burpees (right now I step back, not jump), and 2) start doing at least some pushups on my feet, not my knees.5 -
1) get to 220 lbs by end of 2019 (253 this morning)
2) participate in a 10K race
3) participate in a sprint triathlon race
4) 2 million+ steps
5) support my wife in every way possible with our first baby coming in February.6 -
Finish a Double Century bicycle ride in mid May3

Running a 5k in 30 minutes by June! I've been training for the past few months and have been making solid progress. Every minute that I can add when I train makes me so excited7

I’ve got ski instructor exams booked for April. Prior to that I need to spend time training in the off-piste and on steep pitches.
Also just need to up my general cardio condition to help this.
More generally- log 183 days with some sort of deliberate exercise activity (that averages as alternate days).2 -

Love it!
If you start Couch to 5K now, doing 3 sessions per week as recommended, you could be running a 5K by March.0 -
200 kg deadlift (440), 225 lb bench, 350 squat1

I'm really loving the variety of everyone's goals! It proves it's not which exercise you do, the important thing is to keep active.
To avoid the problems of aging - sarcopenia (muscle loss), falls, decline in bone density, cardiovascular disease - it's recommended we do:- at least two thirty-minute strength sessions a week,
- at least 150-300 minutes of cardio exercise, and
- balance, flexibility, and agility movements.
Start with what you can do now, and see where that takes you, and who knows what you can do this time next year!2 -
I want to improve my trail endurance - I frequent a park where I do various paths and loops depending on how I am feeling any given day. I'd love to get around the 5 miles without walk breaks, there's about an 800' elevation variation.2

2019 and my 70th birthday are knocking at the door and before I let them in here's what I want to accomplish.
1. Maintain my weight (128 132 lbs). It will be 4 years in February can't wait to make it past the 5th year and beyond.
2. Maintain my activity level (20 - 25K steps per day).
3. Maintain my balance, flexibility, and agility through Tai Chi and Yoga.
Looking at my maintenance as a mind, body, spirit balance.
Here's looking at you 2019.

1. Run a 5k in under 30 minutes
2. Get stronger!1 -
Does learning to ski (at age 41) count? Lol- more to get over my fears of ... lots of things ... than for fitness but 3 years ago when I was 100 lbs heavier I wouldn’t have considered it!
Also - to run at least 2 5k races under 33 minutes each and to hike a few new trails while traveling.6 -
Yoga, cardio and strength training!2
-
Running >1,000 km
Cycling >2,500 km
At least one timed 10Km run
At least one Urban Trail Run (also 10Km but not timed)
I did a 15km once this year - My aim is to have that as my base long weekend run, just like the 10K is now
Was considering a half marathon but an ill timed but badly needed holiday is making that a case of not happening in the spring. Who knows I may do one in the autumn1 -
