A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's activity. UKC fitclub is a rich community with posters sharing their goals, noting successes and failures and offering support to those struggling to maintain motivation.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome to join, but to get the most of UKC fit club 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 and drive you towards achieving your goals whatever the level of your chosen activity.
Psyche video of the week: an egoistic choice of video. I’m hoping to visit that area next week, although I won’t be trying that route, but I found it an inspiring ascent.
Didn’t get round to checking the stats, so sorry if I missed someone or sentences are unclear. Wish you all a good Christmas!
Dandan82: Hmm torn tendon doesn’t sound good
. Good that you’re keeping up with the rehab! For the sleeping with arms straight while asleep, I tend to not move that much after falling asleep, that’s how it works for me, but if you move a lot during sleep it doesn’t work of course.
Robin Brooke: Nice that technique is on level with climbing the thin/balancy routes! For the steep/powerfull routes some bouldering might help?
The Ex-Engineer: Bummer that your outdoor session wasn’t as succesfull as last weeks one! Did you got round to trying the 2 routes again this week?
Biscuit: Always annoying when a sandbag destroys the session! How was the coaching session? Do you have some new goals?
AJM: How is the elbow this week? Did you managed some climbing this week or was the Christmas stuff getting in the way?
James Moyle: Good that FC is motivating you! Nice that you’re climbing with your daughter, always fun to share a hobby. How was this weeks training?
Hokkyokusei: Congrats on the better time this season! Did you recover fully or did the race slowed recovery?
Joyce: Good on your way then with the oranges! Are you planning to put some effort in the remaining 5/6 that you think will go?
Hms: Good comeback to training, despite feeling week on monday! Did you tried the comp problems this week?
Flopsicle: Nope you’re not the only one, I also found it hard to do all the exercises everytime
. Congrats on your first 6c! Did you were as active this week?
Ian Bell: Good that you’re rethinking your goals for Tenerife! Did you got back into the core exercises this week?
Ally Smith: Bummer your partner for Spain is injured. Hope he recovers in time! Did you manage to train this week or were the social engagements in the way?
Stevemarkperry: It definitely helped me two years ago, this year I thought I’d be fine, but heavy pack caused some trouble. How was training this week?
Richard Popp: Sounds smart to take a break from climbing while life is being busy! Did you manage get enough sleep and did a fingerboard session?
Mattrm: Good to just focus on ticking over while being busy! Did you climb some this week? And already some less busy period in sight?
Nick Russell: With your structured goals it should be motivating to get back to hard training! How was this week? Did it help with the structured goals?

Luke Owens: Welcome back! Do you have any goals to train for this winter? Looks like you had a good week last week!
