I want to be able to do a chin-up. Just one. I would feel like a rock star. I can do push-ups now and I can run a mile and I can do many things that I couldn't do before, but... just this Saturday the family took a walk around the lake nearby. At it there is this fitness station thing. My husband went up to the chin-up bar and did 3 chin-ups (Oh, this is after we already did an hour of weight training early in the day from NROLW). My teenage son who is 6'2" and 140 pounds and a total couch potato went up and did three. I went to the bar? I couldn't even lift myself up an inch.

Then just as I was asking, "Why can't women do those?" two teen girls came up behind us and they did one each. So much for women not being able to do them.

RIght then and there, just this Saturday, that became a fitness goal. I just want to be able to do ONE (for now).

I want to be able to do whatever I want, and still be able to breathe.

Specifically, I want to do pullups someday. I think I'd be happy with 5. Haven't been able to do them since I was 12.

Not sure if this is counts as a fitness goal, but I want that little dent in your arm where your deltoids meet up with your biceps.

I'll run my first 5k in September. My goal is to run the whole thing, and finish under 40 minutes ( I'm really slow).

Ultimately? To run a trail marathon or ultramarathon and develop a daily yoga practice. Right now I just want to work up to a 5k and focus on getting to yoga at least every week.

I want to be able to run a 5k... I don't know that I ever will be able to but I'm going to try (i had surgery on both of my feet in 2009 because of plantar fascitis.)
I also want to take a pole dancing class.. or a lap dance class! I'm sure my boyfriend would love it

1. I want to be able to do the single leg bridge exercise. I have a round behind that I'm not planning on losing so maybe there's too much weight back there. Although this time last year I couldn't even do the bridge so I have made progress.

2. I hope to be able to do some long-distance bike riding.

3. Deadlift 1.5x my bodyweight.

4. Do a split (I'm already very flexible so it shouldn't take much work. Just have to practice more consistently.)

5. Hold a hand stand for 60 seconds. (Got up to 41 seconds last night).

6. Hold plank for 3 minutes. (I've been averaging 2 - 2.25 mins).
