Been following this site for quite a while and I think it's time to contribute and be present. Starting today I'll make *this* my little corner of posting my wellness and fitness journey (which may or may not help me be more consistent and not let everyday life indulge me in its malaise.
Yesterday was a full-on kickstart since I haven't exercised for a while.
1. The dumbbells Used were 5 kg and 7.5 kg
2. Sets were 3x10-15 or until fatigue
3. Yup a bit of overkill but I didn't feel bad sore
Yesterday was a full-on kickstart since I haven't exercised for a while.
- Started with a Basic Quick Warmup
- Did the Bender Bo Staff Workout for furthermore warmup and to wake up my muscles (and I've been aching to do something battle related). I quite enjoyed it and worked up a good sweat. At the start I did feel I was putting more work on my wrists than needed so in the sense of less is more and feel the flow, I did the movements very slowly and found the proper movement on my wrists, then my forearms, and then my hips and whole body. In no time I was more stable and a whole lotta faster.
- Dumbbell workout: in a combination of workouts and going with the flow I did bicep curls, shoulder presses, shrugs, bent-over rows, lateral raises, side bends, and some more.
- At some point the ending episode of a series I watch was playing so in order to not lose it, and keep the flow going I used the treadmill I have in the living room and did frontward and backward walking-pushing on it while it was off (like Conan-Arnold in the starting TURN THE WHEEL scene) really fires up your core and legs, and then I got on my knees in front of it and did push and pull motions. Lemme tell ya, that got my back going way more than bent over rows.
- After the episode finally concluded I continued with two more dumbbell exercises, some chest flys, and chest presses and deadlifts.
- After that took a small breather and did some legs. the treadmill had that covered quite a bit I did some side bends and inward presses to really get the sides of my hips.
- then a small workout for the core, I did the first day of the total abs program. quite good, quite good, did some bridges with a dumbbell as well.
- then to chill down, I followed the free ebooks that Movement By David has given out and then the Top to Bottom stretch sheet.

- It sounds a lot and quite frankly it was. when I was done I realized all of this took me Three hours. But today besides the morning soreness I feel more alive and more basically, not stiff.
