Short Term Fitness Goals



Recommended Posts

Hey! What are your short term fitness goals?

Here's what I am out to accomplish in the next two-three weeks:

1. Be able to do a full standard push up - I am almost there and have been working on this for two months, getting lower and lower!

2. Shoulder press (standing) 70 lbs

3. 3000 meters on rowing machine w/no break

What about everyone else?

I’m still only two weeks out, but I want to be able to get back to my 3.5 mile walk sooner than later. Looking forward to less fatigue.

Getting back on track asap will surely help, mentally too. I mean, sometimes, you gotta do it sooner because our body and mind react fast.

One of my goals this year is an unassisted pull up. I'm working toward it but not there yet. I think in the next month I should be able to deadlift over 200 pounds. I can already deadlift more than I weigh. 10 push ups with 25 pounds on my back is one of the next goals. But I'm almost 2 years out and in better shape now than I was in college.

Diana - that is just badass! An unassisted pull up seems almost impossible - I am not even working on it. But you have just created some #goals.

Getting back to working out period. I'm so anxious to start but I was told not until I hit 6 weeks post op. I'm supposed to not lift over 10lbs but that's just impossible. I want to get into a routine as soon as I can and stick with it.

I am right there with you! I wanna start spin class again and work on my planking. Maybe even get a portable TRX set up for our apartment.

They told me to hold my horses, I was only allowed to walk for a few more weeks...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
