Join me in regaining my fitness week 4 🏃 🏃

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, it's another week flying on by like a rocket! I think the busier your life and the more you squeeze in there, the quicker the time goes and time definitely moves quicker as you grow older. I have actually expressed all of this in this simple equation:

Ha ha, just fucking with ye! They are of course Maxwell's equations and have nothing whatsoever to do with growing old. Right, moving swiftly on!

I have gotten through week 4 of this new fitness routine, and I am proud to say that I am still going strong. The habit is well and truly formed at this stage and now I am actually scared to stop for more than 1 rest day, as the habit could easily break away if I was to go AWOL for 2 or 3 days, so where possible I have been only taking 1 or 2 days rest and this week, I didn't take any rest day.

Run @ablaze run

I was happy to get the running shoes back on again this week, I managed to find 20 minutes on the way home from work mid week, and while driving through the park, I pulled in grabbed my gear from my boot, quickly changed into my gear, had a quick stretch and away I went for a 4km run. I have done so little running in the last year or two, this was my third 4km run this year, and my time is now down to 19 minutes 53 seconds. I am going to try and shave a little bit of it every time I run if possible and also want to slowly increase the distance and get myself back up to 10km+ distances again.

I am going to be patient though and not try to increase the distances too quickly. I also managed to hit the golf course, which equates to a 7 or 8km walk, so I am happy with that level of cardio workout for now, but like I say I will try to increase that over time.

How did you do this week?

So how did you guys fair this week?

What Did I get Up to in Week 4?

I have continued along with my tried and trusted exercises that have got me to this point. Some Scorum friends have made some great recommendations about Youtube channels etc to check out, and I am hoping to get around to checking these out soon, so that I can mix up the routine a little bit. Variety being the spice of life and all of that..

Again, I have been hitting these workouts first thing in the morning and I do it in burst of 2 or 3 to complete the lot. I usually get all of it done in around 20 minutes, give or take. I always feel lazy to begin with, but the exercises gives me some great energy to start my day in the right vein. This is what I managed this week.

Wishing you the very best of luck this week with your fitness endeavors or failing that, just your life in general. I hope it's a great week for you and remember, the vibes you put out are often what you will receive back in the long run. Life is often like a mirror in that respect in my opinion, so remember to smile, and hopefully the world smiles with you.
