Actually, I forgot to check my walking app., but that feels about right. Also, I was quite sore from my last two workouts, my quads particularly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, Sept. 10:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">The day began with a set of push-ups again.

I think that&#8217;ll do for the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Sept. 14:\u00a0 <\/strong>No serious exercise, but I somehow walked 9.5 kilometers, most of them with my not-exactly-light guitar on my back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, Sept. 15: <\/strong>Eighty minutes of weights. Every body part exercised, but my shoulders, triceps, and chest got off lightly today in anticipation of a dedicated workout tomorrow or Tuesday. I also walked 10 kilometers throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday, Sept. 16: <\/strong>Just weights again, this time focusing on the muscles I didn&#8217;t work very hard yesterday: chest, shoulders, and triceps. I thought about a short run but decided to skip it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, Sept. 18:<\/strong> I light morning home workout started the day: two sets of push ups and single sets of side raises, lower back extensions, and weightless squats. I arrived at my gym soon after 5 p.m. and I didn&#8217;t really feel like working out. Those feelings of laziness sometimes serve to focus me more and that was the result today, and once I started exercising, my energy returned: back, biceps, lats, thighs, hamstrings, calves, lower back, and a couple of sets of press ups. I also ran about 2.1 kilometers in quick time. So quick that my treadmill died after 1.5 kilometers, forcing me to hop on its neighbor for an extra quick 600 meters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"http:\/\/peterdaley.net\/images\/fitness\/2019\/09\/03.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"440\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, Sept. 21:<\/strong>I didn&#8217;t make it to the gym, so I walked 15 kilometers instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, Sept. 22: <\/strong>A little homework: one set of 45 push ups, abs, sides, lower back, and one set of 35 weightless squats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, Sept 24: <\/strong>After an unexpected day off, I began Tuesday with a set of 42 push ups.
