Then again shiftwork makes my life always kind of feel that way, starting over every 18 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is psycho I could never understand how people do this. I kind of wish I could. Several years ago I used to work 6-3 and would wake up 4:15 AM. While part of me loved it, it was killing me. I would have zero energy after and want to do nothing. I was with my ex and I felt terrible b/c I would be with her on weekends and Friday night I would be so dead and ready for bed by 7-8. Even now a few days of the week I am up at 5:15 and I'm drained by the afternoon. Even if I go to bed at a decent time...I wake up the next morning more tired than I went to bed. Wish there was a fix for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do all of my workouts at home using streaming services We have free weights, a spin bike. I try to do a bunch of cardio stuff. I’m not trying to be a hulk at this point. I just want my heart to last a while. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious to see if running on the treadmill will count towards steps in Pokemon Go. If so, that will be my motivation and I can hatch eggs like a chicken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Off topic, like this thread, but if you want information, motivation, and direction, read Peter Attia's new book called Outlive. Best thing I've read from a reliable source with the latest research on health, longevity, but also healthspan (living healthy as long as possible). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put our money into equipment instead of the Y. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in decent shape til I tore a tendon in my left arm and haven't been able to do weights, I've gained over 10lbs since. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowcrazed71 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I was reading the post and thought I was in the wrong forum. This is now a health and fitness forum. I have my bike set up in my family room... Between the television and the view and the backyard, that's all the motivation I need. Oh by the way, might the pattern switch in mid-March?

ORH_wxman Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 There’s def some support for one last blockier pattern starting the 2nd week of March….we’ll see if it actually materializes. A March big dog would at least get this winter out of the bottom rung if we could improbably pull one off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone-68 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 With no snow or storms to speak of I usually immerse myself in tornado research. I’ve been reading and researching everything everything on the web about the Tri State Tornado of ‘25…So easy to lose myself for hours reading books, eyewitness accounts and pictures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes overboard on several issues but the take home is strength training is essential for a better chance at healthspan. Today was a strength training day followed by my usual core and augmented strength circuit plus a call I have Monday’s was moved to today online of the holiday so I had to accommodate that and needed to get up before 9-usually blasphemy! Healthspan is what we’re trying to achieve hence my hard 3 hour walk in the cold last night. Above OT. Sunny and bright but cold today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
