Ranger Training
I've recently realised that everything becomes a lot more fun (and therefore doable) for me if I phrase it like I'm an adventurer in a medieval fantasy story, so I'm trying to build up my life with this in mind. One part of this is dedicating more time to my archery, and another is getting more fit. I saw a video from a guy who works out using a sword and it was really inspiring for me, so I decided to check out this website which was linked in the comments of it. Although its really tempting for my ADHD to go all in on a bunch of stuff, the most daily exercise I've had for quite a while is a 20 minute walk everyday, and I know I'll burn myself out if I push myself too much. I usually don't post anything in the internet but I thought maybe community could motivate me to keep going :]
So I'm going to start slow by doing the Spellbound program, just one spell per day with a rest day on Sundays. I might add another rest day or two if I feel like I need it. My current goals are:
Spellbound Day 1:
Charged the Silent Step spell (lower body)
- took much longer rests than the suggested 2min
- the backwards lunges were the hard part, I really struggled in the last couple sets but I managed it :]
9/11/26
Spellbound Day 2:
Charged the Lightning Bolt spell (punches and planks)
- god I hate planks
- I took longer rests again, but didn't finish the plank punches after the second set. my floor is too slippery and I kept falling over lol
- I was listening to MCR while doing it and it was really fun to punch to the beat :]
- also I can still feel yesterday's training in my legs when I go down stairs or sit down. I'm glad I didn't skip though

- improve at archery
- spend more time outside
- look like an adventurer
- competing in archery would be cool too but there's not many traditional archers here
