Ye gods, Tomi! That step count is insane!
Follow up! Had a run tonight. 10’ 18" / mile pace. A PB by 5 seconds.
I’ll take it.

Dec 1. New 30 day challenge. I try to use the challenges to “go deep” in one aspect of my martial arts training, which hones the skills. This month is traditional boxing. Taking the Darebee “Boxer Prime” challenge. Here’s days 1 (completed) and day 2. I’m doing level 2 on each day, and punches are on a bag with mma gloves.

Continuing the discussion from Sober selfies:
Out on yesterday’s weekend hike.
Today I’m comfortably down a full pants size, so close to my initial sober weight loss goal. The hike felt great, trekking through ~6.5 miles of unexplored hills without batting an eye.
Still pushing toward that 9 minute mile, one day at a time.

This was a post from a long time ago…any new challenges going on right now? I’ve only done a squat challenge in the past. I did try the 100 burpees challenge once but I think I fizzled at around day 10!!
I’m still chuckling at this. Well played.
And @VSue, @MoCatt’s still rocking a yoga challenge and @Yoda-Stevie was just starting a new plan. Why not hop back on that horse!
Yoga Day 22!
I’m so glad this thread exists. Y’all are keeping me accountable, and I’m actually starting to feel a tiny bit stronger.
@VSue - come on in! I’m going to start another one when this 30 days is up.

Keep getting after it! Smash this one, and roll right into the next.
My plan is kicking my ass. Guess that is why it’s called a “challenge”.

Chuck would tell me to get a total gym.

No. I’ll check my pulse. That’s about it.
Yes, or change the routine. I switch it up every month.
Lifting? No, now that you are conditioned. You are anaerobic now. Depends on what your goal is, what you need/want the strength for.
Try kettlebells or go low weight/ high rep/high set twice a week. Circuit of 5-6 exercises that you knock out in about 30 minutes. You get the cardio, preserve strength, and build muscular endurance. That’s pretty much my strength strategy. I don’t need to be super-strong. I need to be strong enough, and be able to go for a long period of time.
