Hell yeah. Moving weight makes me feel great

Love seeing people working hard to push themselves while I'm at work.

And seeing parents bring their kids in to introduce them weightlifting and fitness warms warms my heart. I believe that schools, especially in the US, have failed to educate children about health and wellness, so it's good to see some patents step up.

Just completed a run with Runstr! 🏃‍♂️💨

⏱️ Duration: 00:38:06

📏 Distance: 3.36 mi

⚡ Pace: 11.34 min/mi

🔥 Calories: 356 kcal

🏔️ Elevation Gain: 122 ft

📉 Elevation Loss: 134 ft

First run with Runstr and I doubt I'll go back to strava or anything else.

Nice time outside. I'm realizing that a good outdoor run picks my mood up better than most things.

Even when we feel like we don't have enough time throughout the day, find time to do what you love or to work towards your goals. Spare a moment for yourself and put your best into you.

That "me time" isn't selfish, it's important for self care. What we do and who we are suffers when we're feeling depressed, anxious, distracted, or just feeling like shit in general.

Only got a couple of exercises in today, but had some quality sets.

Didn't have too much time to exercise before work, so I reminded myself that we don't need a lot of time to bust out a decent workout nor do we need a lot of equipment. Make the necessary adjustments to get the right intensity.

Did kind of a full body workout today. Did a short 50lbs "ruck" at the end that ended up being more mentally challenging than I thought it would be.

Short and simple for #nostr workout 34.

My son actually wanted to come today and got to shoot around, which was nice.

#nostr workout 33 was a nice easy run. I even took a minute off my average mile time with a 5 minute rest walk after finishing the first mile.

Real close to getting my breathing patterns down and I really improved my running form from last time.

#nostr workout 32 was a draining leg day with some calisthenics and some cardio at the end. Tried doing squats on the smith machine and got humbled. That fixed bar path and narrower space significantly changed how I do the movement. Lesson learned and I'll use the machine for more quad focused squat sessions.

Cardio went well. The elliptical really helps my joints and anterior tibialis muscles (they run along the shins more or less).

GM What are we doing for a little self betterment today?

#nostr workout 31was short and simple, but fun, chest and back day followed by some interval training for my cardio.

Starting to get a grasp on my breathing patterns while running depending on intensity. Also, I'm very happy with my pull ups progression. Slow, steady, consistent.

#nostr workout 30 was my first outdoor run of the year. Great to be outside running again, but a lot of room for improve cause that is a trash 2 mile.

Happy that I'm taking my cardio more seriously

If you get there fast, either you're lucky or it won't last.

#nostr workout 29 began with my first time trying a ruck. It was only a short one on a treadmill to get a feel for it, but I looked like I just climbed out of a pool when I was done. Had just enough for a short upper body lift.

Good fun

Today is the 27th #nostr workout. Things happened over the past couple of days, but we adjust, recover, and press on.

Very short workout today, again, hings happen. But everything felt good and progressing.

Normally, as long as it's creatine monohydrate and the company doesn't use a proprietary blend, you'll be good regardless of brand. You can also always see if third party testing has been done to see pure it is.

A 5g dose is a decent minimum, but you can use 10g+ if you want to. Just increase your water intake since it can pull more water into muscle tissue.

No #nostr workout today. One of our dogs that we had for almost 8 years passed this morning. All plans I had for today just disappeared so we could take the time to mourn and find the right crematorium.

I'll see what I can do tomorrow. But for tonight, let's celebrate a good boy.
