Post your personal goals for 2012. As you progress through the year add replies as to how you're tying to accomplish said goals.

Goal 1: Become more physically fit. (Passing score on APFT) Back when I was Army Strong I would run miles and PT like a stud. Now I'm out of shape.

 

For my Age group that would be:

 

40 pushups in 2 min (Doable now)

50 sit ups in 2 min (Doable now)

2 mile run in 16:32 (not doable now)

 

Weight for my height would be 205#. I need to shed 20#

 

 

Goal 2: Learn to effectively use a revolver. (from concealment to include reloads)

 

Goal 3: Do some more combatives/MMA training. This is the MOST practical form of self defense, not everyone can be/needs to be shot.

focus more on PT, and cardio. Ever since I moved office to Princeton, have not had a gym where I can really do my mile swims. As a result.... some stuff started forming around my midsection, and went up to sized 34 pants. The truth moment..... yesterday, borrowed Jon's belt to shoot a stage at Shongum, could not get it around my waist.

 

May go back on P90X, but really have to go to PT to get my knee issues worked out.

 

so plans for this year... change gyms to a place with a 25' pool, more yoga, do p90x again.

 

all of this should translate into better gun game performance.

Good! I really like that. Seriously.

"I hope it doesn't fall off!"

 

As for me, I want to up my endurance and strength. My goal is to place 1st in any physical LE test.

Focus on cardio and endurance training. Im fine weight wise, 6'0 160lbs, but I need to get in a little better shape. If I could put on a couple pounds of muscle I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Post specific goals for the new year. This way we can keep accountable to ourselves and each other.

Regarding firearms, I want to really focus on pistols this year. I have always been a rifle-first fighter, but I really want to broaden my skillsets. I need to research this more before I make any specific goals though.

 

Physically, I want to maintain and improve upon what I've been doing for the past half year. Already dropped over 60 pounds since last June, but I want to lose another 15-20. I am able to run 5-6 miles on a decent 6-7 minute pace (I've never been a runner), but I want to strengthen back up.

I've always been a swimmer, and even when I was in the military I never really lifted-- so lifting is not really my thing. Instead I want to continue hitting the heavy bag and maintaining my obsessive core workouts; but get more serious about doing push-ups and utilizing my pull up bar. (Yea, if you couldn't tell, I hate gyms.)

I also need to remember to continue eating right, and not filling myself with garbage.

Personal Goals

 

225lbs or less

 

Become a Certified NRA Instructor

 

Take at least 2 more tactical pistol courses this year

 

Participate in at least 6 USPSA events

 

Continue to be Credit Card debt free

• Get back down to 72kg weight, 16% body fat and being fit. (For anyone looking to get fit, lose weight I can thoroughly recommend Power 90 and P90X DVD training series)
  
• Shoot consistent 3" groups at 15 yards
  
• Compete in at least 10 competitions
  

 

will leave it at that for now

My goal is to drop about 15- 20 yrs, everything else will come easy after that.

lose more weight is my #1 goal. i'm down 60 lbs but slacking majorly since november.

 

 

shooting wise, i'd like to get to the point where i can get a nice small group at 7-10 yards with both of my pistols. im waaaay off that.

To actually get out and practice rather than only a few times a month at matches might be a good start..

Home defense training with shotgun and pistol.

 

Get my wife to pay attention to an HD and fire escape plan.

 

Start some decent boxing training again.

1. Dryfire 3 days a week, no exceptions.

2. Qualify as SSP Expert in IDPA

3. Bench 235 (I'm weak I know)

4. Run a half marathon

5. Take 4 people shooting who've never been before.

Tosser, what are the APFT standards for a 6'3" 42 year old?

 

If you find somewhere close by I would love to start doing some MMA or Jiu-Jitsu too.

I second the MMA / jiu-jitsu. I saw a billboard for Gracie school in N.E. Philly. Shame it's so far away.
