A few words of introduction, for those of you who aren't familiar with me (and that's great, since new members are always welcome!) 
I discovered Darebee in 2015, as I was trying to find a way to shake up my workouts a little and go back to training on a regular basis. I had also started practising martial arts seriously more or less at the same time and programs like the Fighter's Codex definitely looked appealing back then (and no, I still haven't forgotten Day 15
) .
I became a Team Member a few years ago after being an active member of the Darebee Community for a while. I don't design programs or workouts but rather act as a moderator and occasional Challenge Master... and I'll be happy to help if you need anything as far as the forum is concerned.
My workout routine
I normally train every day and usually favour strength and conditioning, with a little cardio thrown into the mix. These days I mostly use an EMOM structure which allows me to track my progress easily (I either add reps or minutes to make my workouts harder as I get better). It also allows me to know exactly how long my workouts are going to be, which is nice when you're a busy person with a full-time job, a couple of paid gigs on the side, and two children to take care of on your own every other week.
As a volunteer, I also run a Darebee workshop aimed at (mostly) elderly ladies trying to stay as active as possible. We usually do level 1 or 2 workouts once a week.
My martial art practice
I do something called Musho, which evolved from Ninpo, itself an avatar of Ninjutsu. Hence my choice of class. But I don't run on rooftops with a katana slung across my back and only call myself a Ninja for laughs, honest.
What I like about what I do is an open-minded approach that includes strikes, throws, joint locks and wrestling / grappling, along with weapon practice. The perfect combination for a big martial art nerd like me.
I go to the dojo on a weekly basis and sometimes teach classes, something I should do even more often this year since I got my black belt a few months ago.
My diet
I stopped eating meat maybe 4 years ago, mostly for ethical and ecological reasons, and never looked back. I still eat eggs and dairy. I also eat fish and seafood even though it's something I try to keep occasional, for the same reasons as I stopped eating meat.
Lately, it's been harder for me to be as active within the community as I used to be, simply because there aren't enough hours in the day and you have to make choices. But Darebee is still an awesome resource I'm happy to support as much as I can, and the community around it is simply wonderful. Which isn't a word I use lightly.

The ones who actually came had their own personalised assessment instead of the workout I'd originally planned (I used the opportunity to test their posture, balance and mobility). And since I didn't train myself, I went to
