Between my electronic calendar and my Bullet Journal, my life stays pretty organized. A few pages of my BuJo are dedicated to tracking my long-term fitness goals. I maintain a workout habit tracker column on my monthly spreads. I use column #2 for this. #1 and #3 track other things important to me. Looks something like this:
February
PU = pushups
MEPs = MyZone MEPs
I was lacking a place to keep up with workout specifics. Sometimes I do a DARBEE workout and want to keep track of it so I can do it again. Pasting links and adding a comment would be helpful. So, I thought I might try the log in the Hive. I decided to call this a neophilic workout log, well, because I couldn’t think of a more appropriate name for it. I like exercise and I like variety therein: DAREBEE, boot camps, a HIIT/cardio day, kettlebells, Blaze Pods, workout with my trainer, a rest day with a follow along stretch on YouTube. Whatever motivates me to be active. I want to try a Parkour gym and learn Kung Fu, but I don't know when I will fit those in and what I will have to put aside to make the time. Good problems to have, right?
I found this awesome DARBEE community completely by accident. In February 2020, before COVID shut down the world, I was at my old gym. I had decided to do a workout I found on Google that day. It listed an exercise I didn’t know. I Googled the exercise and found a video of Neila Ray demonstrating it. The rest, as they say, is history. Ever since, I visit this site several times per week, read through the tutorials, workouts, programs, posts and I am blown away by how great it is. I haven't posted often though...until now.
As 2022 ended and 2023 started, you know - reflection and resolution time, I thought about the fitness objectives I wanted to achieve this year.
1. 10 pullups in one go. Yes, I want this badge and I fell short in 2022 (carry over goal last year).
2. Compete with my old highschool friends in a 1776 pushup challenge during the 30 days leading up to the US Independence day on 04 JUL. Will require ~ 60 pushups/day starting 04 JUN. And, working toward this should get me the 50 pushups in one go badge too! A 2 for 1!
3. My wife loves Pelonton. She likes the structure the video classes provide. I signed up with her and a group of her friends where we use the APP to track workouts/month, exercise minutes/month/year and categorize by type (bike, strength, running, cardio, etc). The challenge leader keeps track of it all and posts the results.
4. MyZone MEPs: >1300 month. This is my original monthly challenge. I've been doing it for a few years.
5. My Garmin watch gave out and I got a Fitbit for Christmas. There was a small DAREBEE group on Garmin, but I don’t see one on Fitbit. If others are interested, maybe we could start one.
Recapping last week to get the log started.

. Something came up.
. On a positive note, I did a lot more walking than usual (11-18k steps/day).
