UKC Fit Club is not a substitute for the training diary but to use with ( or without ) it as a motivational tool for all.
For those wanting to find out more about training for climbing a number of physical training articles here:
http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?t=274502
A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have done. By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this new habit will hopefully improve your training habits to help achieve your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.

Posters (30):
AJM – Good work on the 7b. It must have been refreshing to laugh at your old beta and apply some more experience this time round. Your pyramid is looking great.
Grubes – Don’t worry too much. I’ve gone to comps and felt like I’ve forgotten how to climb. Doesn’t mean you’ve got any worse. Have a great time in Font.
Andy – Quiet week but sounds more than enough for maintenance.
Richardh – Shame about the weather. Hope your back recovers.
Sankey – Fitness must be hard with so much travelling. Anyway Turkey should be awesome.
NMN – Solid week mate
Ian Bell – Good week. Julie Ocean will still be there next time! Enjoy Font
Biscuit – First confirmed 7b, nice! Be careful about shifting fat in “4 days”. It’s got to be a sustainable goal over time.
Leon – That’s a good lot of training. Don’t be afraid to take another rest day if your body needs it.
GordyB – Nice mix with the intervals in there as well. Good luck in your race!
Mattrm – Good that you’re getting back into it. Hopefully the start of some big things, (like HVS/E1)
Joughton – Fantastic work on the comp! You do lose a lot of recruitment of strength doing routes, but I’m sure you’ll get it back when you need to.
IainRUK – Well done gain on the Marathon. 800m swim in North Wales sounds gopping!
Mrchewey – I think slate is really cool. If you can get your foot really high and crimp really hard you’re sorted. Hope you some fitness in again.
Si_dH – Good week and I’m sure you can build on the confidence of skipping the last clip (as long as the staff don’t mind)
Eagle River – Sounds good despite the weather. Well done on Tomahawk.
Chris05 – Your BM session sounds really strong. 1.5kg assistance is not far off!

Ali – Great week for fitness. Good effort getting out running the day after MTBing
