Muscle ups, I intend on being able to do them properly and with form.

Fight my way through the door , try and actually get on the equipment and avoid the fu@k wits wannabes just for that short guilt time they feel the need to train . So I’m thinking stay calm for two weeks then the gym will be back to normal until that time when they come back for a week before their holiday

We have yet to complete 2019's target... which we will do in time. We wanted to run 1000 miles during this year and we have 20 miles to go. We will be out running today to halve the deficit.

During this year we also entered running events, and we will do more of these in 2020.

I (her) want to run my first marathon and hopefully get a place on the Snowdon marathon later in the year. He wants to continue with marathons, Ultra's and aims to train for a 108 mile event.

All the best to everyone on your fitness and hope you achieve your goals

My target is to walk/run 1000 miles over the course of the year, and build a really good level of base fitness, so I can get back to running ultra-marathons in 2021. It will be a long journey given where I am starting from, but it has to start somewhere!

My goal is to be less fat!! I've been messing around for year now back in 2018 I did so well and then stopped going to the gym and here we are!!

5 years ago I lost five and a half stone and all my thin clothes are still under the bed.

My goal is to get back in the gym, take control of my mental health, get some shape back!!

I train 3-4 times a week when I'm focused. Mostly weights which is not the norm for ladies but I find training most effective that way!!

I'm also a vegan so I do take protein shakes, etc. This christmas I got a juice blender so I'm going to use that too!!

I'd like to get back into marathon swims, book myself in for one of the open water ones in the summer.

To do that I've got to be able to fit into my wetsuit well enough that I can actually move in it, otherwise it's just the indoor swims for me.

Either way, I'm aiming for two this year.

Get back to exercising regularly. I lost weight at the beginning of the year through sensible eating and exercise. Then had an injury and lost all motivation.

On the plus side, My blood pressure is now at a perfect level, after all, good health should be the primary reason we exercise, then for how we feel and look.

Back on it again in the New Year.

Here's a question for you "lifters" that ive always wondered. When you do a press up, what percentage of your body weight are you pressing? So if someone weighed 100kg, and they did one pushup, how much are they "lifting" ish?

Too many variables to give an accurate figure, lever length, distribution of body weight etc.

At a rough guess I'd say somewhere between 50-70%

I found this..

In a regular push-up, you lift 64 percent of body weight, whereas with a knee push-up, you lift 49 percent. If you're new to training, performing the push-up with hands elevated on a 24-inch bench will allow you to lift even less than a knee push-up, at 41 percent of body weight.

So if i round my body weight down to 75kg, my push ups "weigh" 48kg. So if i set my self up with a 55kg barbell, i reckon i should be able to press it without fear of anything exploding... this is a theory based on nothing but toilet maths so far.

I just experimented with my scales.

I weigh 112kg, push ups on scales says 77kg so 69% of body weight.

There is such a thing as bad weather. You can have the best kit in the world but if it’s cold and freezing rain, you won’t get warm.

Also people should ride in what they feel comfortable in.

Exactly this! I’m fairly new to road cycling and I’m not comfortable doing it during the winter season. Also I’m limited with time and evenings normally work better for me, so I need to wait for the evenings to be lighter again.

I currently do free weights, but want to progress this year to do the bars with weights at either end.. I think it might be called snatch lifting?

Also want to do pull ups with my legs at 90degs... My jaw is open when I look at some of the guys doing it, looks amazing, such control + strength. I don't see any girls doing it, so i need to overcome my shyness

If I do a press up I can do a full body push up that's 72 kg or a split weight at any ratio I want standard plank would be approx 60 percent bw thus 60 kg for 100 kg man or 42 ish for me

Power to weight is always my method, always trying to improve my planche iron cross single arm pull ups basically anything that compliments a mountain athlete

"I currently do free weights, but want to progress this year to do the bars with weights at either end.. I think it might be called snatch lifting?

Do you mean Olympic lifting? Like a snatch or a clean etc?

I think so, but don't really know the difference.. The bar is on the floor in front, you lift from floor to hip and then up... To chest or maybe overhead?? "

Yep, that’s Olympic lifts. So snatch or variation on snatch or cleans/clean and jerk and variations of those. Defo go somewhere decent as they are technical lifts and if not done right you’ll do yourself some serious damage!!!

Yep Olympic lifting. Join a club/possibly get a coach as they’re very technical lifts.

Yeah planning to get advice at my gym..my main challenge will be overcoming my embarrassment as the weight room is so male dominated "

Within normal gyms can be very off putting, in powerlifting/Olympic and strongman gyms I’ve always found everyone to be very supportive especially newcomers.

Well following from a long series of injuries I seem to have put these behind me and feel ready to start re training for triathlon.

After a ten year lay off its going to be a challenge to say the least.

But I aim to complete 1 race by the end of the year which tbh should be pretty easy so complete a sprint triathlon by the end of 2020.

My goal was going to be to run a tough mudder in 2020, but I injured my back a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering from that. So instead I've set some slightly more modest goals to work towards a tough mudder in 2021 instead.

-couch 2 5k

-daily yoga (for flexibility and to protect my back)

-get back to Jujitsu classes twice a week

-work on being able to do pull-ups

gain a stone of muscle ina year? Realistically you can gain a few lbs maybe a bit more depending on your genetics but you cant really lose fat and gain a stone of muscle ina year at the same time unless you're a super human freak of nature

I will work on getting my flexibility back to where it was, and I also want to do more strength training.

Ideally I’d like to lose about 4-5kg. I did keto for a month last year as a quick fix (to look good in a dress for a special occasion) but I’m not really a fan of that. The long term solution (annoyingly) is to be stricter with alcohol and carbs!

I'm actually really not sure right now. I think I may go and have a body composition analysis done. So I know what my start place is and take it from there.

I know I've been a bit lazy this year. So I've signed up to do a cycle sportive at the end of June.

Combine the above together to get a plan in place. Leaner, more toned that's where I'd like to be.

"My goal is to be less fat!! I've been messing around for year now back in 2018 I did so well and then stopped going to the gym and here we are!!

5 years ago I lost five and a half stone and all my thin clothes are still under the bed.

My goal is to get back in the gym, take control of my mental health, get some shape back!!

I train 3-4 times a week when I'm focused. Mostly weights which is not the norm for ladies but I find training most effective that way!!

I'm also a vegan so I do take protein shakes, etc. This christmas I got a juice blender so I'm going to use that too!!"

Have you tried the Vanilla protein shake from Boots. It is really nice.

I make achilles a shake that keeps him full till lunch. It is really simple frozen fruit, two or three bananas, soya milk and a scoop of the protein shake. So simple i do it with my eyes closed... Not a joke i hate mornings!!!!

I've entered a 24 hour ultramarathon. To make it a little tougher it's up and down Snowdon. 24 hours running up and down a fucking mountain. What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

Other than that I have a few duathlons lines up to break the monotony of running and once the ultra is done may have a crack at a late summer triathlon.

Oh and Marathon du Medoc in September and it's 23 glorious wine stops

Yet riders far better than you or I will tell you the benefits of indoor training.

To be honest while there needs to be a balance between miles outside and training indoors, the 'no such thing as bad weather' line, unless you are racing at a very high level really is the worst sort of macho posturing"
Or a necessary part of commuting? I'm not sure it's macho posturing on my part, but I dn;t think most riders will acquire all the skills required to compete at any level if they ahaen't ridden in hard weather as well as good

I don’t have any set fitness goals in mind other than to be fit enough to run around after my grandchildren when they arrive!

Unfortunately I can’t join any running clubs/threads due to arthritis and a bad back - so I’ll just have to do the best I can within my limitations!

Determined to get there though - which is part of the battle I think!

I'm just back from the cinema having consumed a whole mahoosive quantity of popcorn, a family sized bag of Revels and another family sized bag of peanut M&Ms BY MYSELF. Yesterday I ate HALF a Christmas cake (because it was there) and the day before, I ate a full tub of brandy cream with a spoon, after eating ALL the remaining mince pies and having nothing to load it on to.

Is there any help for me??
