Welcome to Felske Fitness!

Hey! You showed up, awesome! That’s half the battle you know? Seriously, getting in the habit of being where you are suppose to be, being “prepared”, is something you need to do consciously or subconsciously if you plan on being successful at anything, except of course being lucky.

“Failing to prepare, is preparing to fail!” This is one of my favourite quotes and of course I don’t actually know who said it. Sigh.

Ok let’s get down to it. This is the new website for my fitness journey and this is the first post on the site and yes that is me on the left side. Still lots to work on, but getting better.

This is also the first post of 2012. Coincidence…maybe? I’d like to say that I’ve been spending the last couple weeks of January working on this site for anyone reading this, but honestly I’ve been busy. Like everyone. Between holidays, family, friends, work, church, and band I’ve been running around.

One thing I read recently was challenging readers if when they went on their computer if it owned them or if they owned it. With all the worlds media right at our finger tips it’s really easy to go on your computer and waste hours where you could have been productive and creative.

Creativity requires creation.

So now whenever I go on my computer I ask myself “Is what I’m doing advancing my goals?” and if it’s not I rethink what I’m doing.

Last night when I went on my computer I built this site.

Year 2012 here I come! :)

I’ve had a lot of people asking me about my goals for the new year…well here they are in all their ambitious glory.

Fitness Goals for 2012:

1) I will do everything healthy I can to get below 5% body fat.

2) I will write a book on my fitness experience with everything I’ve learned and links to all the resources and people who have helped me along the way. (If I don’t have a publisher by year end I will release it as an ebook.) The point of the book will be to inspire others to live healthier and happier lives where they are now. Change takes time, but you can change direction right away.

3) I will launch a new fitness site (Check that one off! Booya!)

Fitness Challenges for 2012:

1) Do 30 pull ups with no rest.

2) Do a handstand and hold for at least 5 seconds

3) Get through the Mobby song “Flower” push up challenge. You basically start in a push up position and when he says up you go up then hold and when he says down you go down then hold with your nose touching the ground.

I’ve also set a number of other goals having to do with saving, giving, music, relational..etc. But for the purpose of this blog I’ve only shared the fitness goals.

You’ve also might have heard rumours of me competing in a fitness competition this year and are wondering why it’s not on my list of goals. Well to be completely honest I keep going back and forth on this decision. I have doubts on whether it’s what I want and also whether I’ll be ready, but whatever I decide it will be at a date closer to the competition.

Live Healthy,

Jonathan
