Hey everyone,
It's mid-April and that means summer is just around the corner. I don't know about you guys, but I'm completely struggling with my fitness goals this year and I wouldn't mind a bit of company on my quest for a trim swimsuit body. I was hoping to start a fit club here on the forums to help myself and other like-minded people to get motivated and meet their goals.
I do have a (healthy) diet and exercise regime in mind that I can share with you folks and if you so choose, you can come along for the journey with me day by day. Or you can post your own ideas and follow whatever plan works best for you. It's entirely up to you.
The way I envision this club working is it being a daily logbook to help us stay accountable. Everyone states their goal for the day and follows up with how well they stuck to the plan (and explain themselves if they didn't) in order to stay accountable.
I was thinking of the log book looking something like this:
The club's secondary goals are self-discipline and will power, and discovering how you're holding yourself back. So this bootcamp does have a bit of a psychological element to it. I'm thinking of making this a twenty-one day program to give it a nice deadline to keep everyone in line.
Here are a few guidelines to follow:
So, who'd like to commit to something like this? I'm thinking of starting this Thursday (a nice, arbitrary day)...

Here are a few guidelines to follow:
- Once you're in, you're in. You can't just follow it one day, and then forget about it the next day. This is about commitment!
- You'll be posting up your goal sheet, along with a summary of your daily accomplishments at the end of each day. You do not have to do status updates every time you complete an item on your itinerary, although feel free to do so if you feel it helps you. Just make sure you're editing your post for the day, not posting a completely new post each time. We don't want to clutter up the forums!
- On the other hand, if you're really struggling through your goals that particular day or you have a question about your regime, feel free to write a post about it. The rest of us will be more than willing to offer support (Step AWAY from the left over Easter Chocolates!)
- Every day, there will be a new question or thought to meditate on. Try to answer these questions as honesty and thoroughly as you can; they're created to keep your head in the game and keep you motivated.
So, who'd like to commit to something like this? I'm thinking of starting this Thursday (a nice, arbitrary day)...
