Wednesday, February 1: I had planned to exercise today, but, well, the “but” explains it. Looking on the bright side, I will start February’s fitness campaign tomorrow fully rested.
Thursday, February 2: Seventy cardio minutes accompanied by the end of two movies set on Mars: Red Planet and John Carter.
Friday, February 3: A 15-minute treadmill warm-up was followed by a pretty decent lats, back, biceps, and calves workout. And I finished by adding another 17 minutes to my treadmill tally. (Cumulative Total: 102)
Saturday, February 4: Twenty-five treadmill minutes, the most intense legs workout in months (plus a little lower back) and then a further 26 treadmill minutes. (Cumulative Total: 153)
Sunday, February 5: A day off because I was feeling pretty stiff from my last two weights session. Plus my neck is still bothering me. Perhaps a day off will do it some good. I was still active though, and spent a good few hours in the evening wandering around listening to music and thinking my private thoughts on life, the universe, and everything.
Monday, February 6: I finally saw a doctor about a neck muscle strain. I still considered exercising, but decided on a day spent largely in bed instead.
Tuesday, February 7: I kept putting off today’s gym appearance, and suddenly, the day was over. Back to work tomorrow, and that’s a promise.
Wednesday, February 8: An intense chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, calves, and lower back workout was followed by a short 12-minute treadmill session. (Cumulative Total: 165)
Thursday, February 9: A record-breaking 102 treadmill minutes! I did do a few 2-hour sessions back before I started meticulously recording my workouts, but that was over 8 years ago! (Cumulative Total: 267)
Friday, February 10: Forty-eight more treadmill minutes either side of a brief and unusual forearms and core workout. (Cumulative Total: 315)
Saturday, February 11: At the end of the day, I felt my legs deserved a rest as they were a little stiff this morning.

Monday, February 13: A solid back, lats, biceps, traps, calves, and lower back workout was immediately followed by a 12-minute treadmill session. (Cumulative Total: 400)
Tuesday, February 14: Heaviest chest workout in ages followed by triceps, traps, calves, sides, lower back, and shoulders. Twenty treadmill minutes closed the session. (Cumulative Total: 420)
Wednesday, February 15: Another day off, but that’s OK. It was nice to have a lazy day.
Thursday, February 16: Back on my favorite treadmill where I added an extra 26 minutes to this month’s tally. (Cumulative Total: 446)
Friday, February 17: After spending pretty much the whole day in bed because I could, I added another 34 minutes to treadmill total just before my gym closed for the day. (Cumulative Total: 480)

Sunday, February 19: Twenty-two treadmill minutes prior to a back, lats, traps, and biceps workout. (Cumulative Total: 543)
Monday, February 20: I skipped today’s workout. I came close to exercising though as the decision to not exercise was made very close to my gym.
Tuesday, February 21: A light chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, and calves workout followed by 32 respectable treadmill minutes. (Cumulative Total: 575)

Sunday, February 26: Enforced day off due to my gym being closed. That’s OK as I was due for a day off. Hopefully, next Sunday’s day off will also be deserved.
Monday, February 27: Back to work with 41 treadmill minutes. Next up, weights: lats, back, biceps, and calves. Another 23 cardio minutes quickly followed and then I wrapped up today’s workout with a light weights session: lower back, biceps, traps, and calves. (Cumulative Total: 796)
