So I finished both Foundation and my arena challenge from 7 on the same day (almost like it was planned). I’m still working through the Warrior Arms and Toe Touch challenges though I’ve fallen a day behind. I had to shovel snow earlier this week and I tweaked my back a little. Not enough to...

I realize that it's been almost three weeks since I last logged anything. It's not that I'm not actually exercising or trying to make myself better. I guess I'm just not consistent in terms of logging into a journal type of thing every day, or even once a week. I suppose since I've been able...

PLC stands for Programmable Logic Controller. These are used to control conveyors, doors, robots, etc. Pretty much anytime you see a video of a factory floor with things moving around, there are PLCs running things. So I create the programs that are used to control robots that move things...

So last night it was too late for me to write up the day. It had been along day for me and today looks like another. Yesterday started out pretty good. I did my standard two warm-up routines to get the blood flowing. I did a group exercise they called Pilates which was okay. I did my Arena...

That is weird. I think that the Chrome app on my phone didn't actually update to reflect what happened on my laptop. Of course, two different OS's (iPhone and Dell) might have something to do with it.

Trust me, it gets easier. Unless, of course, the baby gets colic. Then it's not fun.

Today was pretty good even with a sore back. So, it seems I’ve gotten into the habit of doing a couple of warmup workouts. Things like arm circles, cats and cows, good mornings, windmills, etc. it’s enough to start to loosen things up and get the blood pumping. It takes a little bit for my...

That’s the way the video looks to me as well. Turning kicks can be difficult, especially if you have to do a 180 and lose sight of the target. I actually earned my black belt in Taekwondo but that was a few years ago and I haven’t been back. I’ve considered going back but I’m not sure the...

Today I decided that I would add in a couple more challenges to my workouts. In 7, they have an Arena which is a group activity challenge. Basically you do the workout everyday for 30 days and you win the arena. This time we started out with 698 people but the first one I did had over 700...

So I didn’t do my stretches like I had planned but I did do my walk on Friday. I had a good pace for inside as well, 15:07, 14:55, and 14:57 for the last 1/4 mile. Much better than Thursday. Yesterday I did my standard two warm-up routines, a live group exercise, and another workout. Then I...

I think it would help if you could see the kick from a different perspective as well. A look from the front or even split the difference (45°) would help. If you’ve actually trained in a martial art that includes kicks, you’d completely understand the difference. Otherwise, a good video is the...

This morning I had a pretty good workout though it definitely felt like a leg day. Using 7, I did a couple warmups but then I did what they call Superhero. A series that has planks and push-ups but also wall sit and squats. Then I did one called Tone up which has squats, jumps, wall sits and...

I wasn’t able to get on here last night but I did get to bed on time so that’s a check on the Get to Bed On-time challenge. Yesterday was kind of an off-day. I did three exercises from 7 then did the EotD and the WotD (extra credit). I didn’t get my standard 2 mile walk in but I was walking...

So, it’s been two days since my last confession…. Oh wait, wrong blog 😃 Yesterday and today, the morning started like most weekday mornings (except the cat getting sick). Get up, have some water, have a cup of coffee, read a little news and then start a workout. So, the premise of the 7 app...

Today was fairly light in terms of workouts. A couple of warmups from 7, the daily exercise and routine from Darebee as well as 50 pushups (just because, and then 20 minutes of weightlifting with Apple Fitness+. Just to round things out a little bit, I did about 20 minutes of Beat Saber on the...

So today I used my 7 app for 4 different workouts and then came here and did the exercise of the day and the workout of the day at level 3 with extra credit. Still trying to determine the mix of workouts I want to do. I’ve already set aside two days a week for weightlifting.

So I use an app called 7 that gives me a wide range of workouts and challenges. I’ve always like Darebee since it gives me much more than just workouts. That being said, I’ll be using both 7 and Darebee in my fitness journey.

So here i am, starting a log of my fitness journey, after many years of on-again/off-again workouts/diets/etc. This isn’t something I’ve ever done before but after reading through some of these other posts and comments I figured it wouldn’t hurt anything and maybe it’ll help in the long run...
