Health and Fitness 2024
Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2024 4:37 am
It was interesting going back and reading through the 2023 thread. I'm not exactly back where I started last year though, so that's good. Definitely stronger in my core; I did 2x60 second planks today without much trouble.
Once again I'm thinking of getting back to running. Last year I think I made it until about March and then got so busy I just caved. However, I did finish DRT 3, and have been steadily hitting the gym three times a week the past few months. Diet was pretty hit or miss, especially the second half of the year, but I've stayed within about a 3# range all year.
Even moreso this year, I need the strength, flexibility, and all the other elements to sit Tesla's trot and hope to look semi-elegant. With one less horse, I should be able to focus more on getting the workouts it.
To kick off the year, I'm doing a 30 day Feldenkrais challenge.
For the rest of the year my plan is:
2 runs a week, at least one outside
3 strength/balance/mobility workouts a week
2 additional cardio sessions per week (these are almost always before a gym workout)
Foodwise, keeping it simple:
Limit carbs, especially sugar and refined carbs
Eat the veggies
Go a little easier on the wine
Drink plenty of water
