I've been thinking about this for a while, and am finally posting. :)
Would anyone be interested in an ongoing thread specifically for fitness/improvement/support? I got the idea from comments in various threads that I feel could support a separate thread. There seem to be quite a few of us trying to lose weight, cross train more often, improve flexibility, quit smoking, whatever.
One thread could be a place to consolidate this, for people to post their goals, their progress, and to gain support and encouragement.
We could start off by posting what we're working on... things such as...
quiting smoking
losing 10 pounds
getting a better spiral
cross training with cardio 3 days a week, for 30 minutes
stretching OFTEN to improve spirals, laybacks, etc.
gaining muscle through your middle
etc.
We'd then post as often as we feel, and encourage others in reaching their goals, etc. And just keep the one tidy thread, so it's easy to remember what everyone is working on. :)
Does this sound like a good or dumb idea? It just seems to me that stuff like this tends to get lost in the other threads when it can be a very important part of skating for folks.
Comments? Dumb idea? :oops:
