NHSB’s Gym Log
Experimenting with the Gym Log feature.
I have been doing almost daily zone 2 training (or, more accurately, MAF 180 training) since late July, hoping to “improve mitochondrial function”, and “increase fitness and fat burning”. I recently added planks to dip my toes back into strength training, along with some mobility work. I plan to add jump work for bone density once these basics feel like habit. I used to do regular strength training and HIIT but had to stop in early 2021 due to heart rhythm issues. Trying to build back up to a regular, more well rounded practice. Hoping a dedicated log will help improve my consistency as I grow these practices. Plan: MOVEMENT - daily 4 mile walk, was attempting zone 2 daily, shifting to zone 1 on occasion for recovery STRENGTH - planks, working up to daily 2-4 minute high plank, dropped back to MWF to allow for recovery, will add more as this habit becomes entrenched MOBILITY - daily stretches, some longer yoga sessions JUMP WORK - tbd, in future, work up to 1-2 sessions of jumping exercise per week to help bone density. jumping jacks, squat jumps, … Time to go walk… |
I wasn’t certain that merely starting a thread here would automatically create a gym log link on my posts, but it worked. Cool!
