First go

I’ve been sitting here for days trying to figure out how to start this, so here I go. My intent for this is to track my own journey through life – mainly to document my fitness and health so that I can look back on it in the future, and try to figure out what has worked and what hasn’t. As well as other random musings.

Workout

I’ve been torn between different workout routines, mainly focusing on various bodyweight fitness programs. I started out trying the recommendations in the book Conbody, by Coss Marte. I wasn’t a big fan of it the first time through – it didn’t seem to have enough online support to explain how to perform the various exercises safely. So instead, I’ve gone to the /r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine. Day one of that was yesterday.
Pair 1: Squat, Scapular Pulls
Pair 2: Romanian Deadlift, Parallel Bar Support Hold
Pair 3: Full Push-up, Vertical Rows, but closer to incline
Core triplet: Plank, side press, skipped reverse hyperextension.

Thoughts: Need to find equipment for the reverse hyperextension. I’d like to make sure I’m doing the Anti-rotation Progression correctly – maybe figure out the Ring Pallof Press. I’d like to do another week at this level, then try advance to the next level of the areas I’m really deficient at – pretty much everything except the squat progression and push-up progression.
