Looking for workout buddies!

[Konnor]

I'd like to do this too. The main thing I'm interested in learning are some exercises/work outs I can do without equipment, besides sit ups, push ups, walking, etc. I suck about the accountability thing so hopefully having you guys around will actually get me to stick to a plan for longer than a week.   

[MaxAloysius]

Awesome! So it looks like individual plans are the go! I think this is a good idea because then we can see what's working for people, but it also means we're not all stuck doing the same thing. I think it will be interesting to see the different changes everyone's going through too, like I want to focus mainly on my pecs and abs, so I will work out those areas the most, but some other people might want to work more on their arms or legs etc.

I'm so keen for this.

I've got the very, very basics of the community there so it's okay to post.  More will come later as well as general formatting of the comm and some links to relevant sites.

If lj doesn't seem to be working, I apologize.  I think they've been having major issues for a couple days.  Things should be back to normal soon (things are already better from last night).  Once the site becomes easier to operate, I'll be able to work on it some more.

I'm sending the links now to everyone in this thread that has expressed interest.

ETA:  All PMs sent.

[MaxAloysius]

Thanks Adio!

I still can't get LJ to work for me.

[Al James]

Can i join please?

[FinnCatt]

I'd love to join this too, if that's okay (I've been away from Susan's for a week or so so I've not seen this thread before xD It seems brilliant though, and really well set up ).

[kyle_lawrence]

thanks for the pm!  got the link, and I should be able to get a LJ acct set up tonight.  I've never used it before either, but it was the first site I thought of that seemed like it might work.  I'm definitely going to wait to take my pics and everything till tomorrow or saturday, cause I'll have the house to myself then, and It could be really akward if my mom or  brother walk in on me or something.

^Lol, I didn't even read anything the first time, even the pm, my bad. I'm terrible when it comes to actually reading, it's going to get me in some sort of trouble one day.

[Silas]

Ohmygod, yay XD I have to make an LJ now. As soon as it starts working for me o.O

I'm excited now. XD

[Nemo]

Wow, this is what happens when I'm snowed under with work and other stuff XD

Got the PM, emailed questions - have had an LJ account for a while, so that's no biggie Only thing now is the pics ^_^

Oh yes - I'm going away in under 2 weeks, so won't be able to post during that time.

[anibioman]

i would love to do this im trying to work out but i keep losing motivation so i would love to do a competition thats not really a competition thing.

[Lee]

I can't get the account setup to work, but I'll try again later on. 

[rexgsd]

hey guys. i'm trying to do my current measurements but kind of confused on how. they are all with the muscles/limb relaxed i'm guessing. and would chest be like, over the 'breasts'? (i havent had top surgery yet but i do bind) and if it says for example, forearm, would i measure in the middle of it? not trying to be nit picky, but just want to do it right haha

also, where exactly would i measure for hips and for waist? 

[Adio]

I was actually going to make a post about taking measurements last night but I got too tired lol.  There's a post up now with some explanations.  Hopefully that will answer some of your questions.

[rexgsd]

awesome thanks

[Robert Scott]

Is it too late to join?

[rexgsd]

i don't think there's really any deadline Robert =)
if you're interested, Adio will see your post and pm you the site

[N.Chaos]

I'll totally join the party. Probably be more of a lurker, waiting around for advice and all (I'm not competitive unless it's games of MTG, sadly) and I'll probably be hesitant to post many pictures because I'm kind of...gross.

I did just decided yesterday though that I'm going to, finally, try and get into this aerobic tribal fusion dance...stuff that my girlfriend is into. And Ben's getting me into tai chi. So, yeah. It'll be something.

If everyone's cool with that, I'll definitely hop on board.

[Adio]

Yep, no deadline.  I still have two pending members who have not sent their email screening questions to the email address listed on the profile page of the comm.  For our members safety, I can't add you unless you send me the email.
