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...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
