Day 3663

I have 10 more weeks of training classes. Which is really 7 weeks of classes. I've ordered some additional weights for when I'm walking around the house and going up and down the stairs. The idea is that when I'm walking on the elliptical in the evening and walking around the house I'll build up …

Day 3659

Week 2 of the hardest PT I've ever done is complete. The last time I did PT like this I was 18. Speaking of, I'm working out with 18 to 24-year-olds and I'm dying just about every day. The first day I wasn't able to run but like 50 feet, if that, and it was …

Day 3651

This last week was crazy. Monday I started on the first day of the experience of my lifetime. It was the first time in nearly 10 years that I've had to be up before 7. It's the first time in nearly 12 years that I had to be up at 530. My days start earlier …

Day 3642

The last 2 weeks haven't turned out the way I would have hoped. I wasn't able to do the workouts I wanted. I tried. I did my best. I got some workout in. I didn't get much of a workout each time. The first week I was dealing with the ability to catch my breath …

Day 3627

It has been 19 days since I displayed the first symptom of COVID. One of my kids picked it up at a school event and brought it home the week of Thanksgiving. It went through the house with myself being last. No one else had it as bad as I did this time. It was …

Day 3610

I realized yesterday that I'm not eating enough. I pushed through the elliptical for 30 minutes with varying levels of intensity. And when I was done I sat in my chair drained for like an hour and a half. Couldn't move, just so tired didn't want to move. I did some of the weight training …

Day 3608

I really wish I had the time to work more on my MR or even AR devices. Unfortunately, that would mean I'd spend more time in a chair and not less. It also means I wouldn't finish the items I need to finish. However, even if I took the existing SERINDA work and was able …

Day 3605

Today was a great day. I was fit for new gear that I'll pick up at the end of December. It also stressed that there are parts of me that are too fat. So I'm adjusting my diet again. So far My workout is pretty spot on. 50-pound weight vest while doing all exercises and …

Day 3601

I've been doing the same workout now for 10 days or so. Yesterday I tried something a little different. I have a huge man-crush on Dr. Andrew Huberman so as I watched one of his podcasts with Dr. Craig Heller I learned about the power of cooling during workouts. You can watch the podcast here. …

Notes About Starting A Workout vs Building On One

A Little Story I had hired a trainer several years ago. He told me what to eat, when, and I did whatever workouts he suggested. I got pretty strong. I was able to leg press all of the weights in the small gym plus two 150 or so pound trainers. The problem? All of the …
