39 year old sedentary male with severe depression and adhd. I’ve known about Darebee for years and never really committed—I’m unsure if it is due to the disabilities above, or if I just blamed them. Starting with Hero’s Journey in hopes that exercise will help with the disabilities, motivation, and self-confidence. Also, I want to like what I see when I take my shirt off.
Starting stats
Weight 206.4 lbs / 93.62 Kg
Difficulty LVL One
Experience
Started strong with side leg raises, doing the full 60.
Squats elevated my heart rate, so only 30 were done. I felt a burning at rep 23, and it became more difficult to maintain form at rep 27.
Rest for about a minute. Used the time to look up toe tap hops.
Toe tap hops also raised my high heart, so I only did 30. I got a little out of breath, but didn’t find it difficult to breathe. Despite watching the video, this exercise was difficult to get right, but was easy once a rhythm was found. If you fall out of the rhythm, it’s hard to get back into it.
Rest for a couple minutes to put my dog in her room— we all know how dogs are when we get on the ground to do a work out lolz- also, gave my heart rate a chance to go down before starting climbers.
I only did 30 of the climbers, but I didn’t do the slow version. High heart rate again.
I typed all of the above after I finished climbers. Getting back at it to finish the left overs.
I did 30 squats to complete the 60. Legs burned again around rep 23, and the fatigue hit a little earlier at rep 26.
Rested to add some detail to the first part of the experience, and to type this part. Going on to toe tap hops now…
I did the remaining 30 toe taps. My heart rate got up again, but not as much as after the first set of climbers. Taking a couple of minutes to type this and to let heart rate go down.
Did the last 30 reps of the climbers. Day one is done.
Edit: 30 minutes later, I was preparing to bathe my dog, but felt foggy headed, a bit tired, and some very light nausea. Tomorrow, I’ll be starting the Foundation light program.
