Monday, August 3:\u00a0<\/strong>I started the month with a 50-minute workout that for the first time since March, involved a treadmill session. Masks are still compulsory, but I found a mask that fells pretty comfortable and I felt it was time to get back on the treadmill even if it was just for eight minutes. The session went as follows: traps, calves, sides, lower abs, weightless squats, abs, the previously mentioned treadmill session, and then some more calves, legs, and sides.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 4: <\/strong>I walked about 12 km instead of a gym session.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, August 5: <\/strong>Fifty minutes of weights in the evening: traps, lats, back, biceps, forearms, calves, and sides.<\/p>\n

Thursday, August 6:<\/strong> A sixty-five minute workout: chest, shoulders, triceps, another 8-minute treadmill session, weightless squats, leg extensions, and hamstiung curls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, August 7: <\/strong>I walked 19 km\/27,800 steps, and that left me feeling pretty tired. As a result – well not really, I took the weekend off.<\/p>\n

Monday, August 10: <\/strong>A 45-miute weights session late at night that included another 8 treadmill minutes: traps, lats, back, biceps, lower back, and calves.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 11: <\/strong>My evening workout plan: traps (they aren’t sore from yesterday), chest, shoulders, triceps, sides, lower abs, abs, thighs, hamstring curls, forearms, and another short treadmill session.<\/p>\n

Thursday, August 13:\u00a0<\/strong> Hiking day: 26.9 km\/38.200 steps and 262 flights of stairs climbed with not one of those 38,200 steps on flat ground. I was less sore the next day than I had expected with some stiffness in my outer calves, thighs, and lower back\/core a little from carrying my backpack all day.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 18: <\/strong>I walked 12,000 steps today. I’m easing back into exercising after a bit of a right elbow infection again.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, August 19: <\/strong>Back in the gym, but I gave my arms a rest: sides, lower abs, traps, calves, weightless squats, leg extensions, hamstring curls, and abs.<\/p>\n

Thursday, August 20:<\/strong> Back on the treadmill for 14 minutes. That was followed by some stretches and just a couple of sets of calf raises.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, August 21:<\/strong> An evening weights session: chest, shoulders, triceps, traps, abs, lower back, and forearms.<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 22: <\/strong>A mixture of weights and cardio again: weightless squats, calves, leg extensions, hamstruing curls, sides, lower abs, back, lats, biceps, and 10 treadmill minutes. All up, that was about an hour.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Monday, August 24: <\/strong>I decided to walk instead of going to the gym. The final tally for the day was 12.8 km\/17,800 steps.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 25: <\/strong>I walked 9.1 kilometers\/13,500 steps throughout the day, and I ended the day with a late-night 45-minute workout: chest, traps, shoulders, triceps, and lower back.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, August 26: <\/strong>Today’s workout was 65 minutes long and it was a little different with more attention given to calves, legs, and sides. I also did some lower abs and upper abs. Another 8-minute treadmill session between those sets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Friday, August 28:<\/strong> I got the sad news in the afternoon that Seoul gyms will close from Monday for at least a week, perhaps forever. So with today and tomorrow being my last two gym sessions for at least a week, I upped the intensity a little with a 60-minute weights session: traps, lats, back, calves, biceps, and forearms.<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 29: <\/strong>Last gym session for a while, so I trained just that extra harder: chest, shoulders, triceps, 8-treadmill minutes, weightless squats, hamstrings, and leg extensions. All up, that was just over an hour again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That was it for the month of August. My gym is closed for the first week of September at least, so that will provide some challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
