1. 10 .Jumping Jacks
2. Boxing: 20 minutes of speedbag/heavy bag (punching, kicking, strikes (knee, elbow, palm), back fist combos.
3. YWB: Gentle Yoga in Bed! | 30 Day Yoga Challenge | Day 24
4. Easy Arms Challenge Day 25: 82 arm circles, 30 seconds active rest of march steps, 3 sets in total.
5. Ace Workout: Level 3, no rest. Punches on the bag.
6. 4 mile walk outside. 1:08:22
7. Unbound Day 28.
8. Foundation Day 8 Tendon Strength: Level 3, no rest.
Boxing: Rating = 8.5. This was decent workout today. Some of my kicks were a little sloppy though.
YWB: Rating = 8.5
EAC: Rating = 7.5. I really felt this today.
Ace: Rating = 6.5. This took me longer than I thought. I struggled with balance on the lunge step-ups. I have to find the YouTube video on deadlift and twist because I am sure I was doing it wrong. And my hair was in the way the whole workout.
Unbound: Rating = 7.5. I had balancing problems with pose 4.
Foundation: Rating = 8.0. Not bad for tendon strength.
Notes: It’s finally the weekend. Today was cold, cloudy and breezy so we only walked 4 miles. There was only 2 basketball games on. One went my way and the other one didn’t. Last night I calculated that from Sunday there are 696 days until my next journal project. I have been struggling lately. Work is overwhelming and my family has been having health issues. So, I set up a list of 12 “goals” with 8 checkins. These are things that I can focus on. Some are health/fitness related, some are work related, some are related to my general well-being, one is something I want to do everyday but haven’t been (yoga) and the last one meditation. I do it everyday but just go through the motions. I want to do it for real. I know that focusing on these goals won’t be a miracle worker but I am hoping it gets me to a better place physically and mentally.

Sorry and thinking of your grandmother. I am still amazed at the variability of pathology with COVID, from crud feeling to deadly, and long-term consequences. The flu can be nasty, but not that variable as far as I know...

1. 10 Jumping Jacks
2. Easy Arms Challenge Day 27: 96 arm circles, 30 seconds active rest of march steps, 3 sets in total.
3. Unbound Day 30.
4. Foundation Day 10 Strength: Level 3, no rest.
5. Arms of Steel Day 1: Level 3, no rest. Rating = 8.5.
6. Reps to the Rhythm: 1000 STEPS • WALKING AT HOME • 9 MIN POWER WALK • Walking Workout #55 • Keoni Tamayo
7. Heather Robertson: Day 25: 30 Minute FULL BODY HIIT // With Weights
8. YWB: Gentle Yoga in Bed! | 30 Day Yoga Challenge | Day 24
9. 4 mile walk outside. 1:07:30.
EAC: Rating = 7.5. Ouch towards the end.
Unbound: Rating = 7.5. I never got better at that one pose (pose 2 in this workout).
Foundation: Rating = 8.0. A little wobbly on the calf raise hold.
AoS: Rating = 8.5. Kept my feet moving during all exercises except for the holds.
RttR: Rating = 9.5. Fun with cats even if I screw up the steps.
HR: Rating = 8.0. Tough but only minor modifications. I couldn't hold the side plank though.
YWB: Rating = 9.5.
Notes: I woke up to a half a foot of snow. I am ready for spring. Work was chaotic and annoying. My Grandmother is now on morphine. She is nearing the end.
I finished Unbound today. I found some of the workouts difficult. I am ready to be done with Easy Arms Challenge but I’ve just restarted Arms of Steel so the upper body fun never ends. Heather’s workout was tough but not torture but it was cold for the walk. The best part of the day was reading my book with dessert. The whole world melts away.
