    New Year’s Resolution & 2024 Fitness Goals Megathread

    @nathan2018 My 2023 goal was to be more active in general without injuring myself, but also without stressing about actual fitness goals. This was the first time I ever consciously stopped trying to exercise in favor of just moving my body more regardless of intensity, and it honestly paid...
