It's only day 2 and I've already ran into a bit of a problem. Sworkit, and my exercise plan, is not going to work for me.
1) The customization I expected from sworkit isn't free. They want $5 a month... Fuck that. I payed a lot for a gym membership I didn't use. If the app had wanted $10 to own or even $20 I would have thought about it. I'm done paying monthly fees.
2) I live in an upstairs apartment. There's no way a Fat man does jumping jacks at 6am quietly. My Asian downstairs neighbors will hate me even more then they (probably) do.
so Sworkit doesn't really suit my needs. I've had to call an audible. I have a few 0-100 *insert exercise* apps on my phone that used today. Over the next 10 weeks I'll go from 0-100 knee push-ups (I can barely do 1 real one, but I'll work up to that.), 0-100 squats and 0-200 crunches (working my way up to sit-ups).
The problem with these apps is they are only about strength. I also want to work on my cardio and my flexibility. I don't know why this wasn't part of my original plan but I need to walk more... a lot more. I only do about 3,000 steps a day right now. I want to get to the recommend 10,000.
My apartment conplex is conveniently exactly 1/2 mile around. So for two laps I'd walk a mile. I'll add a lap a week to build up to 10 laps (and eventually some jogging, but that can come later). I'll write up a plan tomorrow with specifics.
On a completely different note, I'm writing this post sitting outside enjoying some herb in a perfectly cool spring night with my lady inside sleeping waiting for me to come snuggle. I'm feeling confident and determined. I'm savoiring this moment. Never forget to pause and appreciate.
Good stuff, man. I went from 315 to about 265 lbs just by walking everyday. After that, I had to change up the workouts to see results.
