03 - 15 December - business trip in Europe. I brought gear to workout, but didn't. Shared too many delicious beers in the evenings with my co-workers which was great fun. I did go on an unexpected indoor skiing trip on 09 December. One of my coworkers invited me. I haven't been skiing in a long time, it took a while (and a few falls) to get used to it again.

The water sloshing adds a lot of instability to the getups.

Peloton: 30 min Grounded Yoga Flow (DENIS MORTON) - Fri 4/7/23 @ 11:00 AM
I am really glad I started doing more of these. Denis is a really good instructor - even as a virtual class, he gives a lot of good cues and alternatives.
I started off tight, not doing the moves very well, but it got better by the end.


15 JAN 2024 (MON)
warmup - 6 mins - chest, shoulders, quads, hams, some walkout/planks with rotation

Filled to about 25#
I had been looking for a good workout to extensively use my tidal tank...and I found it! Though, I used a regular med ball for the climbers and push-ups. The water sloshing around adds a lot of dynamics to these exercises. The hardest was the side-to-side chops.


Finished off this workout with a ~ 1 mile treadmill "hike".

I really liked doing this workout last time (and still do), but today it seemed way harder. I had to back off weight and/or reps to finish it. Looking forward to my next rematch with this one in a week or so.

Thank you @Fremen and @graoumia!

My workout log is terribly out of date. I will write about it soon. The short version is I was having shoulder problems, went to physical therapy for 3 months with only small improvement, got an MRI and found two tendons torn. Surgery in June and rehab on-going. My workouts have been pretty boring for a while. Hope that can change soon.

Heavy club practice. My wife wanted an adjustable heavy club for Christmas. Thankfully she is willing to share :ss:. I am trying to learn how to use it too.

4x each; 30 seconds per round (12.25#)
1. Two hand inside circle:
2. Two hand outside pendulum:
3. Two hand pullover:
4. Two handed balance squat:
5. Two handed shield cast:

I must admit, the heavy club is pretty cool. Not at all like a kettlebell in mechanics, but similar in that a 20-30 minute workout leaves me feeling like "I did something really good :welcome:."

I haven't 100% formalized my 2025 fitness goals, but wanted to capture a couple of things I am going to work on.
1. Get my surgically repaired right shoulder the last 10% of the way back after the operation last summer...From 90% to 99.99999%. Mobility is about equal on both sides now seven months after the operation, but my right side shoulder strength and stability not quite as good as my left.
2. Improve hip flexibility. I need to set more definitive goals for this. I am tight. I know it. Left is worse than right. Bent over straight leg touch the floor with my finger tips seems like at least one good objective to shoot for by summer (right now, I am about 4" from touching the floor).

Learning to use heavy clubs intrigues me a lot :)
it is new for me too! I think I am going to really like it. After practicing and playing a bit yesterday I think I am going to have to record myself doing some of these motions. I found I was making a lot of the form mistakes mentioned in the videos. I was able to catch my mistakes (mostly) but this is going to take some practice with light weights for some time to develop good form.

if I make a couple of recordings, I can compare side by side with the examples.

And Santa gave her one? Nice Santa!
Yes! Yes, he did!

Adex had a very good black Friday sale. I actually called the company as they have a couple of models and I wasn't sure which was better for a) beginners and b) smaller lady hands.

I think I might have talked to the actual owner. So rare to speak to a human representative these days. He was very nice and suggested the original handle. Seems perfect for us.
