Fitness has now been a major part of my life for the last few years and to be honest, I don’t think it will never now not be a part of my life.
This time last year I reviewed my progress in 2015 and set some goals for 2016. So let’s see how I did in 2016:
2016:
001) Continue to increase weights during Body Pump, specifically:
– Squat track weight increase to 30kg (currently 22.5kg) – Highest combo achieved in 2016 was 27.5kg
–Shoulder track weight increase to 10kg (currently varies between 5kg & 7.5kg) 12.5kg achieved
– Chest track weight increase to 12.5kg (currently varies between 5kg, 7.5kg and 10kg) – Not achieved
002) Push-ups on toes – Injury has pushed this back but I’m hoping by February this will be achieved
003) Tricep push-ups – Injury pushed this back too. Hoping to achieve this within the 1st 6 months of 2017
004) Move from downward dog to plank without collapsing – Slowly getting there – not quite there yet due to injury
005) Continue to take higher options in classes – Always try to take high options (Abs not so much) – Burpees are now pretty fun!
006) Develop a stretching routine for home to avoid too many more injuries – Not even close to this one!
007)Try more new classes – Tried Floatfit, Kitty Yoga, Lululemon Yoga Class
008)Sign up for 1 or 2 challenges – I’m currently thinking about the Beast race – Beast Race completed!
009)Sort out my nutrition. My nutrition is absolutely rubbish and I know that having the right nutrition goes hand in hand with exercising. I usually find that I am fine at work and then after that it is a disaster with dinner usually being porridge on a good day (unless it’s a weekend or I am at home where my Dad is an amazing cook). – Achieved November 2016 although I’m writing this just after Christmas and still need to get back on track but I now know what I need to be doing. Will have more thoughts on this coming up soon.

– Squat track weight to 35kg
– Bicep track weight to 10kg

002) Achieve Mermaid & Crow pose in Balance (at the same time would be slightly impossible…)
003) Dedicate more time in the gym rather than the studio
004) Sign up for a couple more challenges – Beast Race and Glack (?!)
005) Attend outdoor bootcamp
006) Continue to try more new classes – All suggestions welcome.
007) Continue to eat healthily and fuel my body appropriately to suit my workouts
008) Develop a stretching routine
009) Attend one of Food Story’s Yoga Brunches
010) Incorporate a little more running as strangely when I did Beast I started to enjoy it…
What are your fitness goals for 2017?
