Daily fitness check in 💪 (Part 2)

Today i did a fullbody 45min dumbell youtube at home. It was a slower pace than im used to but im feeling it.

I need to continue to make weightlifting a priority even with running 4days a week. Goal 2.5 days weights

I use Hevy to keep track of my lifting. It is free and the free version allows you to create up to 4 workouts. Although the paid version let’s you include as many workouts as you want. There is also a community aspect to it. You can post your workouts and interact with others but it does end up being a lot of validation seekers and vanity. I tend to avoid that.

It doesn’t generate a workout for you but is great about tracking. Keeps up on PRs, volume, reps, etc. I can add or subtract lifts and it gives a breakdown of how to do each one.

Got leg day done. Although it was a light day. That’s OK. Just coming back from a break and avoiding creatine for the moment (too many cramps).

I hit a new low with my weight loss journey too. With 2 weeks away from my year without my main DOC, I feel optimistic today. I am not running from discomfort anymore, I embrace it as a way to find a way to learn what I can from the pain. Sweets and youtube are my last vices.

Apologies, I should have clarified…these were against the wall. I can’t do handstand walks yet. So these are a variation to hopefully get me there one day (long ways away…) :laughing:

Thanks all. I’ve used Alpha Progression and Jetfit in the past both that I like. I simply can’t afford to see me old PT anymore so would love some sort of program arrangement. I’ll have a squizz at the suggestions.

Sort of a rest day today. Walked around the block and did the push-up challenge. Tomorrow will be rainy, so back to the gym.

This is what I’ve come up with for my next block. It was suggested I don’t do any RDL’s after my surgery but might just try some light weights. Any thoughts or inputs greatly appreciated.

Started yesterday with yoga class followed by my back and tricep workout. Lots of dog walking too.

I’ll be doing a 10k mudder for the 4th of July. Need to prep.

Going to rest, gym is closed. But there’s chores and yard work to be done.

Hello,

2 weeks of pausing I stated with some 1000 to 1400 m swims last days.

This morning I did a 6-6-6-6-6-6
@SinceIAwoke :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
Preparing the 5.5.5 in my head I found it an issue to not have my tools at the end of each 250 m, so I increased to a round number of 6. 300 m each:

  • Freestyle
  • Backstroke
  • Freestyle with short fins
  • Legs isolated with fins and kickboard
  • Freestyle with paddles
  • Cool down with some hyper focus on beautiful style only and water feeling

It was super meditative today. 1800 in total. As of still recovering from the flue I need to step back from performance mood only.

Doing daily meditation. (found a new teacher that is bringing me to the point of being in "the field’, it is very basic practice)
