I would like to learn to ride a motorcycle.
I would like to start some kind of creative writing.
It's a combination of doing it with some kind of strategy and doing it regularly, and effectively. I don't really know--all I know is a weight room at a gym is really intimidating to me, and I'm not at a place where I can afford a trainer more than once a month or something.

Learn a foreign language.
Re-learn how to play the piano.
Learn how to build something out of wood.
Any of the "New Rules of Lifting" books by Alwyn Cosgrove and Lou Schuler will give you a great strategy. Doing it regularly is up to you. Given decent nutrition, effectiveness is can't miss.
This is what I do for a living so hit me up w/ a PM if you want. I'm happy to help.

Once a month is all you really need. Most gyms will do a free assessment, then you can agree to pay for one training session and have the trainer give you a good one to two week schedule. Then you can check in with them once a month to either a) check on your techniques and/or b) learn some new exercises.
I actually joined a small group class for three months where we met 3 times/week. In a lot of ways it was like being in a private class because the other people in the group had learned the routine and the trainer could give me some attention for the first week or two.

I wanna learn how to speed read. I don't need to be all Will-Hunting-fast, but I'd like to at least double where I am right now. I think it'd be a useful and practical skill for the rest of my life.

Would love to learn piano and/or guitar. Problem is my lack of patience. I almost wish I was one of those poor kids who was forced to take music lessons but nooooo, my parents had to let me run around and play sports and be all happy and stuff.
Hadn't thought of it before I saw it here but speed reading is another good one. There are so many books I want to read and just not enough hours in a lifetime.

I have always wanted to learn to fly fish. It looks like such a neat skill. I don't have the time, to learn.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
