Saturday, Sept. 1: <\/strong>I decided to skip the gym today and do a decent amount of walking instead since the weather is nice and I’m feeling really sore from yesterday’s weights session. I walked about 11.5 kilometers. Not a great distance, but it beats lying in bed all day.<\/p>\n

Sunday, Sept. 2:\u00a0 <\/strong>Pretty much a rest day unless 5 kilometers of walking counts. It doesn’t.<\/p>\n

Monday, Sept. 3:\u00a0 <\/strong>A weights session after the first class of the semester: chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, and core. I’m due for a legs session.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Sept. 4: <\/strong>A 14-minute run\/jog and that overdue legs workout.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thursday, Sept. 6: <\/strong>Just some walking, 8.4 kilometers if my iPhone is being honest.<\/p>\n

Friday, Sept. 7: <\/strong>I completed a 30-minute morning weights session: back, lats, biceps, core, and forearms. And I think I pulled a muscle in my lower back. Later in the day, it started to stiffen up, and not in a good way. Not too bad, but it resulted in me skipping my planned Saturday morning workout.<\/p>\n

Monday, Sept.10:\u00a0<\/strong>Back in the gym for a 43-minute weights session: chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, abs, calves, hamstrings, and thighs. My lower back still feels a little stiff at times, so I avoided exercises that used it. I’m not sure if the strain happened while doing extensions or using the squat machine. Anyway, it’s almost back to normal.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, Sept. 12:\u00a0<\/strong>A quick 14-minute treadmill session before breakfast.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, Sept. 14:\u00a0<\/strong>A short weights session: back, lats, biceps, lower back, biceps, calves, and a 6-minute run. It was actually a spur of the moment decision to go the gym. It was about 10 am, and I was walking home after a spot of shopping. I envisaged an evening gym visit, but didn’t think it was all that likely. Today’s workout was pretty light, and I was careful with lower back extensions after a strain last week, but it felt fine. Since the weights session wasn’t too intense, I jumped on a treadmill which shut down suddenly after a few minutes. I hopped on its neighbor for another three minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday, Sept. 15: <\/strong>A late afternoon workout some 23 hours after I last consumed food. I was surprised to find I had a lot of energy: thighs, core, chest, shoulders, and triceps. The lower back strain is history, and I’m certain it resulted from using the squat machine.<\/p>\n

Monday, Sept. 17:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I skipped the gym after work and instead did a core and calf workout at home.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, Sept. 19: <\/strong>A 25-minute cardio session in the morning as my fast was around the 16-hour mark. I recorded my lowest ever weight afterwards.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, Sept. 21: <\/strong>A 54-minute weights session in the early afternoon: back, lats, biceps, sides, abs, lower back, lower abs, calves, hamstrings, and thighs. My iPhone told me at the end of that day that I had walked 9.6 kilometers today, but I am a little skeptical.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Sept. 22:\u00a0<\/strong>A really intense chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, forearms, and lower back workout. My lower back wasn’t sore from yesterday’s workout, so I punished it some more. That was followed by 26 treadmill minutes. I walked another 10 kilometers afterwards:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday, Sept. 23:<\/strong> I walked around 10 kilometres in the early afternoon while listening to some John Williams played on piano and by a small chamber orchestra.<\/p>\n

Monday, Sept. 24:<\/strong>\u00a0My gym is closed, so I walked 20.3 kilometers. I also did a couple of sets of side raises and lower back extensions.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Sept 25:<\/strong> My gym is still closed, so I continued walking around unfamiliar neighbourhoods of Seoul while listening to familiar music. The kilometer count according to my iPhone was 13.8.<\/p>\n

Friday. Sept. 28:<\/strong>\u00a0Back in the gym for a weights session: back, biceps, lats, forearms, calves, and core.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Sept 29:\u00a0<\/strong> A short but intense weights session (chest, shoulders, triceps, and traps) was followed by a brief treadmill session.<\/p>\n
