Alas, I've drummed up some guidelines that I should be working towards.
I feel good about the one that scared me the most my whole life: Running.
I beat that mental road block and I feel confident that I can run. My entire life I said I couldn't run!
Now I'm sad I didn't look at PE as a kid more of an opportunity, rather than torture. I am afraid that I had a case of "family mimick." What do I mean? My siblings hated it. My greater relatives, aunts and grandparents talked down Physical training type things. So I was just parroting family a lot. Just like when I was a kid and everyone but Dad hated teriyaki. I said I hated it too, until I tried it not knowing what it was and really loved it. Same type situation.
So, alongside with swimming and running - I honestly need to add situps and pushups to my exercise regimin. This is going to be difficult. I'm not sure how to do pushups properly, after all.
Anyone out there good at the basics of these things? I need to start working my way up to some decent numbers on pushups and situps within the next year. I have about a year to build endurance with these things and as long as I keep to my goals, I think I'll be fantastic by the time I might *possibly* need to be tested for fitness levels.
I think chinchillagirl may be a good resource on the proper mechanics. I skipped out (went to LWTC and got my fitness creds waived) for most of my adolesence. I need help now. If there are any volunteers who are unjudgemental, do not intend to have a superiority complex, and would like to help me out - please let me know! It would mean the world to me.
Zomgs. I've decided. A second time. I'm going to go for. *It*.
Hah! And if I don't make it - I always have IT to fall back on, after all. The WORST that could happen is that my fitness levels increase, and I become a sexier, more athletic version of the current me! It's going to be hard though. To get there, but I am totally willing to put my efforts into this. I think it will do wonders for my life motivation.
I'm excited.
More of my spare time needs to go towards situps, pushups, and running. If I can tackle running... I can tackle the other two. And I have plenty of time to begin work with this. No rush.
Here goes, universe.
