Thursday, Jan. 2: <\/strong>The year 2020’s fitness endeavors and adventures kicked off in the afternoon with weights and a short 7-minute run at a slower pace than recent runs. The weights part of my workout involved back, lats, biceps, traps, calves, forearms, lower back, and sides.<\/p>\n

My short-term goals are to regain some cardio fitness and lose\u00a0 a few kilograms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday, Jan. 4: <\/strong>Another weights session with a short run in the middle: chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, calves, lower back, a 6-minute run, thighs, and hamstrings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Monday, Jan. 6:<\/strong> The same again with weights and a short run: back, lats, traps, biceps, calves, lower back, and a 7-minute run.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Jan. 7:<\/strong> Fifty evening minutes of weights: chest, shoulders, triceps, forearms, and sides.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, Jan. 8:<\/strong> An 8-minute run followed by a legs workout. It’s been a while since I exercised three days in a row.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thursday, Jan. 9:<\/strong> Another weights session: back, lats, traps, biceps, abs, lower back, and sides. And that was a pretty intense back workout.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Jan. 11:<\/strong> An 11-minute run at around noon. I’m confident I can regain the level of cardio fitness I had last year can be obtained again soon. The goal is to be able to comfortably run 3 kilometers in under three minutes. I also completed a set of 45 push ups in the evening.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunday, Jan. 12: <\/strong>I considered a gym session, but ended up walking 10 kilometers instead.<\/p>\n

Monday, Jan. 13:<\/strong> A 50-minute weights session after work and my only meal of the day: chest, shoulders, traps, triceps, calves, lower back, and forearms. Well, I ate afterwards, so my “only meal of the day” wasn’t my only meal of the day.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Jan. 14: <\/strong>I walked 13.6 kilometers throughout the day and evening.<\/p>\n

Wednesday: Jan 15:<\/strong> A short 7-minute run was all I had time for. I did a few weightless squats afterwards, and by “a few”, I mean a few.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday Jan. 18: <\/strong>Just a set of 50 push ups before heading off to the Queen concert. And some ab work at home afterwards.<\/p>\n

Sunday, Jan. 19:<\/strong> I’m not quite sure how I did it, but my iPhone’s step tracker is telling me I walked 11 kilometers today.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Jan. 21: <\/strong>An hour of weights in the early afternoon: back, lats, biceps, forearms, calves, abs, sides, and lower back. I think I’ll be quite sore tomorrow. I also walked almost 14 kilometers throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, Jan. 22:\u00a0 <\/strong>Thirty minutes of weights (chest, shoulders, triceps, and traps) was followed by a six-minute run.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thursday, Jan. 23: <\/strong>Another short and intense weights session: sides, lower back, calves, weightless squats, hamstring curls, and leg extensions. I also walked about 15 kilometers throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Jan. 25:<\/strong> I walked about 12 kilometers with my guitar and netbook on my back.<\/p>\n

Sunday, Jan. 26: <\/strong>A solid hour of weights: lats, back, traps, biceps, calves, hamstrings, weightless squats, lower back, and sides.<\/p>\n

Monday, Jan. 27:<\/strong> A set of 46 morning push ups started the day. And then I did 40 more about 15 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Jan. 28:<\/strong> Another hour of weights: chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, lower back, abs, and forearms.<\/p>\n

Thursday, Jan. 30:<\/strong> A little home workout: two sets of push ups (48 & 30) and some sides and lower back. And that was it for the month.<\/p>\n
