Activating different muscles. Like the other guys said, if that's too easy, keep inverting yourself, or strap on some weights to make it harder. With all of my downtime from running, I think I need to start getting in the weight room on my down days. Might not be a bad thing to put on some muscle...

Looks like a waste of time if you can easily do pull ups.

At the beginning of December, I weighed in at 301.2 pounds. It was my first time over 300 pounds and it made me sick. Even though I wasnt eating healthy or exercising, for whatever reason I never thought I'd hit 300. So with the help of my wife we cracked down and threw out all the garbage and set real goals. Every 10 pounds yeilded a monetary prize for extra motivation. With eating healthier and hitting the gym, I'm happy to report I'm down 50 pounds! I've fallen back in love with basketball, which has helped immensely. It gives me motivation to go back to the gym. I hate just flat running or lifting weights, I have zero patience. My goal is to lose 85 pounds and the end goal is a much bigger money prize than the 10 pounds marks, so once I hit my goal I'm going straight to the gun store Anyway, just wanted to provide my success (so far) story and hope to check back in at 85 pounds lost. This is going to sound cliche but if I can do it, anyone can. Sorry if this isn't the right thread for this.

Awesome, well done sir!

Keep it up dude. Just remember, it's a lifestyle change. Don't quit once you reach your goal or you'll just end up right back at 300. Once you lose the weight, you need to find a good balance of diet and exercise that you love and that keeps you healthy.

Stoked, I get to go on a run today. Been in Physical Therapy for 1.5 months now for insertional achilles tendonitis. Only allowed to run every other day, and it's killing me right now. Haven't seen much gains with the achilles in the last few weeks. Really hoping I don't have to have surgery to fix it.....

Goals have shifted this year from running a sub 14 hour 100 mile race to getting healthy and giving it a go next year. Starting to get frustrating watching my buddies out there killing races.

Wife said "ah, you have to run tomorrow." I corrected her. I "get" to run today. Can't wait.

I would die of boredom doing a race that long. and that's even if I was on a bicycle.

I liken it to meditation. I pretty much shut off my brain, let my mind wander, and put my body on auto pilot.

I doubt I would ever be able to do that, but I do want to hike the entire Appalachian Trail.

Good for you bro. I love hearing these stories.

Hell, I'm bored DRIVING that far. Not that I'd physically be able to complete it anyways

I can only seem to achieve this is formation runs where there is someone calling cadence.

supposedly the trail is over-used now and is quite a mess

Well that sucks. There are others that I could possibly do, that aren't quite so taxing.

How Crowded is the Appalachian Trail Really? | Appalachian Trials

maybe be break it up over two years and start in the middle to avoid crowds down south and stay ahead, then start south halfway through season the next year

After 9 months of informal Jiu Jitsu at our dept "fight club" I signed up for my first class at the Indiana Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in Greenwood. Not really that close but Clingerman is one of the best in the State so it should be worth it. Going from no Gi to Gi training will be different for sure. Fun fun fun.....

Howard, triple weight. It's worth the dough.

Circuit tonight. 4 different push ups for 30 seconds, jump rope for 1 minute in between, 8 times around.

32 minutes of jump rope, 16 minutes of push ups. Sleep well tonight.

Is that the one on main st an emerson? I have looked at doing that but found my thing in crossfit. Some hand-to-hand fighting skills would be cool though

Find yourself a good Krav school. Fun, heck of a workout, and probably the most practical self-defense. I say this having practiced (at differing times) TKD, BJJ, and Shorinryu Karate since I was a kid.

There's tons of awesome trails East of the Mississippi. The AT is iconic, but there's lots that offer exactly the same scenery. If you're wanting to stay clear of people, I'd stay off the AT.
