About three years ago I was in the best shape of my life thanks to Darebee.
Then I fell off the wagon, hard... Especially the last six months.

I keep getting stuck in the same cycle again and again, exercise 3-7 times a week for 6 months and then barely move a muscle of another 6.
Tried starting again this month with my smart watch but had goals that were way too high which resulted in me not even trying to achieve any of them.

So we are back at where I have previously found succcess, Darebee!

Goals by the beginning of april
- be able to do 10 push ups
- run 1 km in 6 minutes
- no more back pain
- no more wrist pain
- lose 4 kgs (10kgs endgoal)

Goals rights now
Push ups:
Challenge: Wall push-ups
Challenge: Knee push up (later)

Cardio:
Complete my step goals from my smartwatch for 7 days in a row
Do a bike workout once this week
Challenge: Step up

Back pain:

Challenge: Better Core

Wrist pain:

Day 1:
Oh that was bad, I didn't realize my fitness was that bad. But as my thread is called, first step is the hardest. I will probably read this in a month and be glad that I took the firs step.

Goals rights now
Push ups:
Challenge: Wall push-ups
This was the easiest one, my arms were trembling afterwards but I did manage to achieve 3 sets of 12.
Challenge: Knee push up (later)

Cardio:
Complete my step goals from my smartwatch for 7 days in a row
Day 1 complete, did a lot of walking today because of groceries
Do a bike workout once this week
Challenge: Step up
:dizzy-face: Oh that one was baaaaad. Kept falling over to the side. Definitely need to keep practising

Back pain:
Challenge: First Thing Plank Hold
I decided it would be best for me to start with 2 sets of 20 seconds and build from there to prevent overdoing it, especially because my back is already hurting.
Challenge: Better Core
Yeah definitely too hard, was struggling with the 60 seconds. So my plan right now is to do 3 sets of 30 seconds for each side and to add 2 seconds every odd day. Then after completing this challenge, I will repeat it next month but then I will start with the full 60 seconds.

Wrist pain:
Exercises from physiotherapy daily
Done

Weight loss:
Lost 300 grams (compared to yesterday, will post a week total on Sunday)
Monitor food intake daily
