    Monday was light trot & chest.
    Tuesday was light trot and arms in the garage gym.
    Wednesday was legs.
    Today was back.
    Tomorrow I’ll hit shoulders.
    Next week I have something different planned.

    Hello all! I am 41 and love being active, whether if it’s a hike, a gym workout, a flow yoga sesh, a ride on the spin bike, shooting the hoops or scootering. I would like to be able to do a handstand and a proper push up. Those are my personal goals. I would love to meet a gym buddy if anyone is local. I am based in Sydney Australia. Happy weekend!

    I'd love to jump in here! Just turned 43..... recently quit drinking and smoking to get super healthy like I used to be!!
    I lift weights, recently purchased a peloton bike and ride horses. My goal is to become super healthy and well hopefully lose 10 or 15 pounds along the way!!

    Have a great weekend!!!

    41 here just coming back. On day 13. Looking for kind, no judgment, encouraging friends. I have 90 more pounds to lose. I'm not great at keeping up in the forums. Oh and I'm working on 30 days free from alcohol I'm on day 12.

    I have sent in my subscription to this club for the 2022 intake. I am 1.2kg away from my initial goal weight. I might reassess how I feel, and lower my goal weight to 55kg, which is 4.2kg away.

    For the reverse lunges...just the bar, LOL...and suffered!
    Got all 128 steps done for walking lunges, but went from monster to regular, to regular with a toe tap...back to monster! I used the front part of the garage (rear part is the gym) and just did laps until done.
    Now...those stairs to get back in the house!

    Well, ya know, if you have to ask... it just means you're a self-aware individual! lol Ok, let's tackle your questions one at a time...
    how do join
    ... You just did, simply by reading this thread. Posting is just an added bonus.
    is it cool to say your cool
    ... You're cool to self-proclaim coolness. We may think you're on an ego trip if you start declaring yourself righteously gnarly, but up until that point it's all good, man.
    I'm not am I
    ... Maybe not a grammar teacher, but I can't dance, so we'll call it even. (My son thinks I also am completely unable to dress myself in a fashion which is allowed out in public, but given that he is willing to walk out the door with his pants halfway to his knees, he and I will just have to agree to disagree.)

    So I started walking 2 weeks ago... I use the ZOMBIES run app - and go for 40+ minutes on weekend - and any days off we have also.
    I use MAPMYWALK to track my walking and it sync's to MFP. Generally don't eat back calories but knowing they are there if I need them is helpful.
    I was all in a panic as my first month gave me no losses.. well now I am 50days in as of today, and 8.2lbs down from my starting (again) weight.
    I didn't do any real kind of exercise the last time and dropped 22lbs before I stopped... so I feel like I should be even more successful this time around!

    Hey kids,

    Took a hiatus and now I'm back.

    My shoulder is all better now. Time to get back into Powerlifting. Touring a new gym this weekend and hope to call it my new home.

    Took a long walk with the dogs.

    Hi Caramel!

    I have no motivation to lift....whether it is the long Pandemic, or I don't know. I have not taken this LONG of a break from lifting in a DECADE!

    I know I need to start again. I am not really wanting to, though.
