Recovery, says it all

@Obsinosterous you should really have your sports watch on from the moment you wake up. Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT for short) is a key element to overall, sustainable fitness. We have an article on this here that might be useful.

Thanks, @MadamMeow

It was an active rest day on Vitality, stretching. I followed this by not walking today, just being active around the house. Unfortunately I think I broke my oven.

Sunday Sept. 29
- PT exercises: 2x (goal 3x) -

The figs are ripening. It was a cold August so they are late this year. I turned this batch into jam today. However, the bowl is full again.

I thought those were weird onions at first!

Thursday's rain continued through the night and is still going strong on Friday morning. I finished my morning workout, Foundation Light, day 12 and 20 minutes of yoga. Walking will be determined by me and the weather syncing up during a dry spell. I'm intrigued by the November challenge. I could make it a double challenge, 10,000 punches and hang my heavy bag before the challenge ends.

Rain stopped late afternoon and I was ready. I was out the door for a mile walk through the neighborhood. When I got home, I jumped into the 10,000 Punches challenge with 160 punches.

Thanks @Damer, article read. I started the day by strapping on the sport watchI also put in a good amount of Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis pruning a wisteria plant that is trying to eat my house.

Started out stormy, but all the wind blew away the rain clouds and the sun came out. I had a nice 2 km walk through the neighborhood. Wirth the extra distance, I chose not to do Cardio Light today. Instead, I did a modified version of Unplugged workout.

Hand clenches (Foundation Light) seem so easy, but after a few sets I can really feel it. More in my right hand after several hours of using hand pruners over the weekend. Started with the universal warmup and did today's 220 punches in the morning. Finished the morning routine with yoga.

Afternoon walk, the sun was out but it rained on me anyway. Powered through Cardio Light at level 3.
