What are your 2019 exercise goals?

I’m only working on monthly goals with a plan to make the following month a few days before it begins, I have a chronic illness so I can’t make plans too far ahead.
Jan goal is to run 31km over the course of the month. I’m at 20.2km at the moment, with a pb of 22.34 for 5km.
To drink one glass of water each day.
To make sure I take my meds each day (should be a no brainer but harder than you can imagine sometimes)I’m only working on monthly goals with a plan to make the following month a few days before it begins, I have a chronic illness so I can’t make plans too far ahead.

I'd really like 2019 to be the year I enter maintenance/recomp, I can't wait to start lifting on maintenance calories LOL. I'm about 27lbs away and it took me a year to lose 40 so I may not reach that goal this year since weight loss slows the less you have to lose, but I'm still gonna work hard at it!!3

My exercise goals is to actually do it on a consistent basis, I can do it for a week or 2, then I start with excuses.... My current excuse is, I am back to 10 hour work days, I don't have enough time, which is BS...

Hooray,

Congratulations on your rowing machine.
Cheers, h.

My plan is to rebuild the muscles in my right quads so that I can do some good cardio. I fell after having front and rear spinal fusion (S1-T10) and tore all the quad muscles in a "Z" pattern across my right leg and over stretched the patellar tendon on the same leg. April 1 I plan to start pool walking.3

To continue working out daily and to go deeper into my yoga practice.1

Chin ups. Any number . That's the current goal. Last year it was 10 straight legged push ups. Now I do 20.1
-
To increase my weight training frequency and increase my protein intake so I can maintain muscle mass as I lose weight.1
-
A marathon in a major city in April or May.
A marathon in August.
48 km on my 48th month running anniversary in September.
2019 km in 2019.
Keep doing handstands/stretching/balance/core daily.
These will mean I get outdoors, travel, keep running, keep strong, and keep my flexibility and balance.
Ha! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
However, I've still been getting outdoors, travelling, running, keeping strong, and keeping my flexibility and balance.
Had a lot of work stress which meant easing up on the big distances.
Amazing how many calories stress will burn!! (Been logging All The Data 4.5 years.)
I'm really proud of my ability to practice moderation and sustainability, and to speak up when afraid.
My Art is also going really well.3 -

Really looking forward to a bit of consistency, even if I simplify what I am doing.
Accept that I shouldn’t push squatting (weight) any further and switch to various leg machines.
Will alleviate a lot of frustration.
Improve swimming, yet again, so snorkeling is a fun event.
So love it; so freeze up in deep water.
All positives for so many reasons, sorry can’t say love.
Cheers, h.
I can happily say nope nope nope too.
Family is so much more important.
I’ve kept moving so in the maintain (fitness) phase though a little decomp has happened.
(No probs maintaining weight)
Took 12 weeks of swimming lessons at the beginning of the year, still hopeless so just started on a set that will take me into Christmas. Fingers crossed I’ll have a breakthrough.
Cheers, h.3 -
To sum up ...
Half marathon in January ... Done!!
Gradually build up cycling distance ticking off milestone distances along the way. The goal behind this is to build a solid base for further long distances and events in 2020.50 km
75 km
100 km
125 km
160 km (100 miles)
Get back to climbing 20+ flights of stairs at least 4 days each week. I work in a 10-storey building, and can climb 10 flights in the morning, and 10 flights in the afternoon ... plus extras if I want.
Walk (or run or hike ... basically move by foot) more than last year.
These are my walking/running/hiking totals for the past few years ... so ... more than 1357.1 km in 2019 would be good.
2018 - 1357.1 km
2017 - 1302.52 km
2016 - 1133.02 km
2015 - 1131.7 km
And build some upper body & core strength + improving flexibility.
I haven't been able to run since the half marathon.
I am cycling but not building up.
I am climbing stairs but not regularly.
I am walking ... quite a bit of walking. Right now I'm at 764.8 km for 2019 so I just need to walk about 170 km/month to make my goal by the end of the year. Might be a little bit of a stretch, but we'll see.
I am getting some upper body and core with pilates, rowing and some additional exercises.
