2025 Fitness Goals Accountability Thread

[Hussar]

What is everyone's 2025 fitness goal(s). Let's use this thread for tracking/accountability/motivation.

2024 for me was a bust fitness wise. For 2025, my 3 main goals are:

• Get to <200lb body weight
• Log 1000 miles between running/hiking/mountain biking
• Complete at least one 10k distance run/hike per month.

2000 k on the rowing machine, interchangeable with running at a 2:1 ratio.
Min 50 Vo2max sessions on the rower, no more than 2 any given week though ideally roughly a 1x per week thing.
15 strict pull ups with 3 second dead hang rest between each rep.
Have been thinking about lifting goals but not really sure what I want there.

I like these threads, took a few years off the threads but will play this year.

1,300 human-powered miles (mostly running and hiking)

130,000 vertical gain

12 week gym-bases muscular endurance block starting Jan 1

8 week weighted carry ME block leading up to hunt

Maintain ability to do 3 sets of 15 strict pullups

1.5x body weight squat and deadlift

At least one long mountain run (not sure which one to do - looking at a few, but might end up doing a diy with my brother that’s not quite as long as others).

I lost 43 lbs from January 2024 to October. Did a dirty bulk until now but I’m going to start cutting shortly and I would love to be able to see some abs the year I turn 40. I know what to do I just need to be disciplined.

1000lb club would be nice too, I’m around 900 now.

1. A healthier muscle to body fat ratio, don’t care about the actual weight.
2. Didn’t officially log miles last year but it was a personal best so let’s shoot for 500-700. Also want to do some longer day trips for endurance.
3. More consistent with the home exercise routine.

I was thinking of backing off my goals of hiking the number of miles, same as the year. I just turned 67 and instead of the goal getting easier as I age, it gets harder. But someone mentioned why do that?—basically giving in to getting older, so I'm officially going to shoot for 2025 miles this coming year Not sure if I'll make it, but will give it a good go again.

I strength train twice a week and plan to keep that up as well.

I also got onto a solid plan for weighted rucking this year (just a little prior to hunting season) and will be be replicating that plan this year.

Of course all premised on God willing!

Goals are important and my goal is to get back to being able to hike with a full pack. The last 2 years have been far too sedentary, working through hunting season. That won't happen for a third year.
