I wasted so many years thinking that I could never run; I wasn't "built" for it. Now I run 6 days a week. It makes me feel so strong and healthy!

This may not seem like a big accomplishment to many but I didn't have great self esteem and with being over weight I thought for sure I would fail at both of these things and thought I would have to be air lifted off the Glacier but I used focus and breathing to get through all of it and I did it! And my healthier life has begun... finally! Biggest Fitness Accomplishment: Hiking in Maine and Glacier Trekking in Argentina.

Over exercising led me down a horribly dark path, resulting in 3 fractures in my right foot and severe nerve damage. It's so upsetting to write this, even. I guess I had no choice but to listen to my body, but thank G-d it wasn't my heart that gave out first, right?! YOGA has SAVED me and I thank G-d for my practice every day :) BIGGEST FITNESS ACCOMPLISHMENT: Listening to my body!

Thanks for the info! I was thinking that I might need new sneakers too! I think it’s time for a new pair.

I was also having some severe hip pain. I, too, could barely walk sometimes. My doctor ended up x-raying it but found nothing that might be causing hip problems. He recommended that I try new shoes. My old ones had a lot of miles on them so I bought a new pair. The pain went away almost immediately! Even though my feet weren't hurting, the lack of proper support was causing my body to compensate and it was my hip that ended up in pain. Obviously this isn't always the case, but I hadn't even considered what was on my feet might affect other parts of the body.

Growing up I always hated running, it was always difficult for me because of my asthma. Nothing ruined my day in HS more than finding out we had to run a mile during class. Yeck! Oddly enough though last summer I started running and although I still suffer from asthma I was pleasantly surprised to see progress in what I could do. After a few "test" runs I entered a 5K with a co-worker and although I was not too speedy I finished the entire, hilly course with out walking!

I normally hate any type of weight lifting but know how great of a benefit it is. I go to these classes and really am starting to see myself tone up! My bed wins all the time too so it's a good thing those classes are at night! www.missymaintains.blogspot.com My fitness accomplishment has been going to 2 weight training classes a week.
