Gym selfies, weightlifting & fitness šŸ”„ (TW gym attire. Keep rules #6 and #7 in mind) (Part 1)

I checked- itā€™s on precise. Iā€™ll just go a little extra each time cause it did that on the first 5k of the year too. Didnā€™t register it as a 5k :unamused:

Strava is consistently .1 off ! Itā€™s like a running (hah) joke. Youā€™d have to record or run 6.3 for Strava to see 6.2. Itā€™s suuuuper annoying!!

I usually use my garmin watch to record, I can program workouts (including intervals) into it. But theyā€™re not cheap so I n ow thatā€™s not an option for everyone. That then transfers to Strava. Kind of unnecessary but itā€™s the only ā€œsocial mediaā€ I use and I like to track progress on segments etc :slight_smile:

I had an Apple Watch (series 1 :joy:) but it broke last year and I havenā€™t been able to bring myself to get a new one. I would love a Garmin but dang they are pricey even more than the apple ones! Maybe Iā€™ll get a new watch eventuallyā€¦

They are. I luckily get a team gear discount at a local store, but they still hurt my walletā€¦

Kettlebell workout done :+1:
A short 5 minute one with added shoulder workout I made after the warmup.
5 minutes is enough, my goal is to be able to do this 3x/week and not to hurt myself.

Did a 45 minute elliptical run yesterday, just finished a combo of 30 minutes upper body & 25 minutes elliptical today; feeling great. Structured my schedule a lot more clearly than before to have at least 6 days/week.
Iā€™m happy to get back into it and didnā€™t realize how much i needed and missed this part of my day. This year is a great year to do better than the last if I try harder.

What is Strava? Never heard of it.

Itā€™s a GPS tracking app for a variety of athletics - running, walking, cycling etc :slight_smile:

Just finished another 35 minutes on the elliptical; wouldā€™ve gone for 45-1 hour but time constraints were there. Instead of raking myself over the coals for not meeting the standard I wanted for today, I redirected the failure thoughts to remind myself I can still be very active for the remainder of the day and putting real effort into something is better than doing nothing.
