Day 38 Instead of doing the back and biceps workout, I went hiking instead. It ended up being 3.91 miles. It was nice to get outside, especially since it got up into the 70's which made it feel like Spring/Summer. I don't really have much to say about this hike since it's one that I… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 38 & 39

Chest/Triceps I started off today's workout with 20 minutes walking on the treadmill. I also did about 7 minutes of glute activation exercises, even though it wasn't a lower body day. This Chest and Triceps workout wasn't too bad. I actually kind of liked it. I focused on form a lot, especially with the chest… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 37

Legs/Glutes I started off today's workout with 5 minutes of glute activation. I read THIS post which made me 1) want to work on mobility/imbalances even more and 2) read Atomic Habits. It made me realize that, even if I just spend 3 minutes doing hip openers or postural exercises it'll help in the long… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 36

Shoulders/Abs This workout wasn't too bad. I saved the cardio for afterwards, because I wanted to get the lifting portion done first. I did take my time with it, which I feel like happens every Shoulder day. However, it got me thinking about what I want to do next and future goals. One thing I… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 35

Circuit/Metcon Today was a struggle. I ended up only getting 4 hours of sleep since I had to be at work early in the morning. My original plan was to take a nap before I worked out, but during my morning shift I was asked if I could work in the afternoon/evening. So, as soon… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 34

Day 32: For the first time in a year, I missed a workout. Ever since I've started following Kelly Yager's workout guides, I have not missed one workout; except for the time I injured my arm. I'm not going to make any excuses, I skipped it because I was being lazy. I've been feeling off,… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 32 & 33

Day 30: Today was just not a good day mentally. So, instead of doing the Chest and Triceps workout, I went hiking; since that seems to always makes me feel better. I went to a different trailhead, thus completing 3 out of the 52 hikes. It ended up being 3.90 miles, and I completed it… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 30 & 31

Legs/Glutes I started today's workout with a 20 minute jog. I stayed at 5.0 for most of it, then pumped it up to 5.1 for the last 5 minutes. Everything felt good, even my hips/groin. Sometimes when I run my right groin tightens up, and it feels like it needs to be popped. I did… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Day 29

Day 27: I ended up working two shifts today so I didn't workout. Honestly, I regret it. It wasn't like there was anything preventing me, I just wanted to take a nap instead. Which, I couldn't even fall asleep! Next time that happens, instead of staying in bed, I'm going to force myself to get… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Days 27 & 28

Day 24: Instead of doing the Circuit workout, my first workout of 2021 was a 7.17 mile hike. And honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way. I started off a little late, around 10:30, so there were a lot more people there. Although I did go to the McDowell's which is basically a tourist… Continue reading Fit & Functional 4.0: Days 24, 25, & 26
