to be clear: indoor rock climbing
its very stable and safe, you can start easy with indoor bouldering where you're never more than 5 ft off the ground (and will by design and training fall on your back onto soft flooring if your muscles do give out)
belaying/auto belays are great for the tall stuff, you're safe cause you've either got a person or a device rated to hold your weight and more, and you'll never fall uncontrollably

the main downside you'll have to face is pretty high monthly fees, so to get good value you have to go frequently (ie more than once a week). most places also have a day fee if you just want to give it a go occasionally/for your first time.
even when i have a harness on i get pretty freaked out unfortunately. i did a high ropes course in the trees one time in high school and even though i had a harness and line and everything i had a panic attack when i finished climbing the ladder lol

I should probably make mine "be nicer to myself" but im not sure if i deserve it... this is a joke, i'm fine i should probably still make that my resolution tho
a good goal

go do rock climbing at the local gym at least twice a week
i'd love to try out rock climbing but unfortunately i have a fear of unstable heights :(

mine is also fitness related but less specific. I just want to do strength training every other day and walk at least 30 minutes on the off days. surely over time I will increase the scope of these goals but I think that's a manageable place to start. the most important thing for me rn is just getting some kind of activity every day and trying to get in better shape. I'm not especially worried about changing my diet at the moment because that's never gone exceptionally well in the past and it's going to have to be a much more gradual process. trying to change both at once would not work for me

good luck on yours
i've really loved getting fitness involved with my daily routine (started back at the end of march of this year). i've been doing lifting 5 to 6 days a week and trying to run/walk outside 1 or 2 days a week and i've felt great after doing it. i feel a lot better about myself in general thanks to it too. the only real diet change i've made is just trying to get a lot more protein in my diet to support the gains, like protein shakes in the mornings and increasing how much lean meat i eat

following hot on the heels of the christmas time thread: anyone have any new year's resolutions?
mine are both fitness related: do 1 unassisted pull-up and run a nonstop mile (doesn't matter how fast, just never breaking a running pace). i'd wanted to accomplish an unassisted pullup this year but didn't manage it so hopefully next year i can do it

i got my christmas present early, a garmin venu 2s to replace my fitbit whose battery couldnt last even a mile long run anymore. early christmas present to myself has been a fully custom built keyboard that i've worked on with another forumer. then for actual festivities, i'm spending christmas eve and christmas itself with two other families since my own family is so far away

i still keep the forums page pinned to my browser. i can't bring myself to unpin it. i always worry one day i'll click on the tab and it won't load up anymore.

keep in touch with a few people from the forums still, mainly the crew from abs fiesta over in community projects. qwepir is running a sequel adventure to it over discord these days, and a bunch of the players are making a pilgrimage to have another in-person meetup in a month or so

A lot of us were probably too young and naive to notice or care, but there were a good few who did notice and tried to point it out, but they would just be ignored or overshadowed by whatever other discussion(s) were going on
i remember always hating bisjac and trying to call him out on some of his gross opinions, but i was also a teenage girl at the time, so... i kind of got dismissed from what i remember lol
