Fitness: 1st October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I found signs of complete recovery between yesterday and today as I did something I would typically do. What was it, you ask? Well, I worked late and got up early, and was still full of energy. Yo, baby, I am back! 😊 Also, I am enjoying what I am doing, and if you understand the law of attraction, then more goodness and joy should follow. The fact that I was up early from a lil sleep and felt…

Fitness: 2nd October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today happens to be a holiday over here as 2nd October is also celebrated as Gandhi Jayanti, the birthday of the Mahatma. It falls on Saturday this year, and my daughter wanted the government to compensate Gandhiji by celebrating his birthday on Monday. Why? Because you can't celebrate the Mahatma's birthday on a holiday; instead, it should be a holiday on a working day. 😊 Some logic to get more…

Fitness: 3rd October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Sunday mornings are always a breath of fresh air as it allows us to reset from the last week and, in a way, get ready for the new week. Of course, we still have the whole day to enjoy before the "getting ready for the next week" part. It was a pleasant and cool morning today, as it was cloudy but not raining. So, less of Sun and more of breeze. I was up a bit late but then managed to get on with the…

Fitness: 5th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** It was back to basics today as I started the day with a walk. I have to admit that the morning was boiling, and I was sweating like crazy. It is the effect of the October month at the Tropics. We just have to see through this month to get into winter starting November. Hmm. The pleasant climate during those times. Anyway, I still can't complain about the current weather. I have experienced the heat…

Fitness: 6th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** And my tryst with morning walks continues, and I love it. Today again, I got up early for a walk and a brisk one at that. Once back, I went for another walk along with my father. Both put together would have been about three kilometers in total. Tomorrow, hopefully, I will go running. Also, the weather, at the moment, is conducive for walking or running only in the morning. October heat is already…

Fitness: 7th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** So, I could go running today. That is after a while since I last ran. I did run during the monsoons, too, and even in the middle of the rain. That was some experience. But now, the weather is more or less dry, with occasional drizzles in the night. I ran for two kilometers taking the flyover route. That means I took the flyovers on my path to increase the resistance to my run. I always found my…

Fitness: 8th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Yesterday, I went to sleep earlier than usual and got up later than expected. That means I slept a lot. Is that a good thing? I don't know, but I am getting a lot done, so let's take it as a good thing. As we enter October, the days are getting hotter. I guess this would continue until November, and then we will see the temperature bottoming. So, pleasant days ahead. However, today morning was still…
@oivas
Fitness: 12th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning I talked about the October heat in my previous posts and how we will have to see off this month for respite. I thought November was when we would see a drop in temperature but guess what, it was cool today morning. I was so happy to feel the cool breeze over me. I hope this weather stays and only gets cooler from today. :) Cooler weather also meant that morning activities were much more pleasant and…

Fitness: 13th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Today I did not get up as early as I had hoped. So, I had to improvise on the things that I had to do. First and foremost, some essentials had to be taken care of, and the second most important thing was the fitness regime. As you would have guessed, I interspersed it with my work. Both my work and fitness workouts went well, though I will have a larger portion of it to do later in the day. I don't mind that so…

Fitness: 14th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning I made up for waking up late yesterday by rising on time. I got up at 5:20 a.m. and was up for the run. The weather was good, and I had to breathe in the fresh air. The very fact that I could do about three kilometers of run without much sweat talks volumes of how good the weather was. I am sure it would get hot through the day, but I have no complaints as I good the best of it. :) So, what did I do…

Fitness: 15th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning Today was an exciting day. I did get up early in the morning, but my daughter was already awake. She loves to have early breakfast and her walks before she settles down for her school work. So, getting up early is something I can expect of her, but before me was a surprise. Anyway, I stayed true to my exercise regime too. I got on with my walk with my father in the morning, and it was quite a good one.…

Fitness: 16th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning I had an early morning drop at the airport. It was my brother-in-law who was traveling abroad, and I went to drop him. I visited the airport after two years. Ever since COVID and work-from-home, airport visits have become next to zero. It was good to see that many people were traveling too. It was still far from the peak crowd that I used to see when reaching the airport at 5 a.m. But, I am happy that…

Fitness: 17th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning On a Sunday morning, thinking about workouts and fitness makes you wonder if you could take a break. I have experience around that. The real break is to continue exercising. Not doing your fitness regime is not a break but a burden. I know. I have experienced it before. So, I went on with my fitness regime. Today, I focused on mind and soul. The weights I will keep up for the afternoon. Let's see. What…

Fitness: 18th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning It is always good to have a pleasant day welcome you in the morning. It was pretty breezy and cool and so good that I did not want to go back home. Actually, it was also the wood burning at someplace that I passed. It took me down memory lane somehow. :) Anyway, once the morning walk was done, I was back to basics at home. It had been few days since I did weights, and that is what I got doing. I…

Fitness: 19th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning I got up quite early today, but I did not step out. I got into some work on my laptop, and hence I had to postpone the fitness regime. The key is postponing for later in the day and not tomorrow. :) It took me some four hours of focused work to get an article and few online jaunts done. But the satisfaction at the end of it was terrific. So, good that I thought I could take the excitement into my…

Fitness: 21st October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning Today was a reasonably busy day, and I guess I was on the move right from the morning. I felt that I may not need exercise today with the kind of running around I was doing. After all, I was doing all types of work that would easily fall in the bucket of stamina and weight exercise. But then again, you know that teeny-tiny part of my mind and heart wasn't ready to accept that explanation (or excuse).…

Fitness: 22nd October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning I was determined to run and do weights today, come what may. And I am happy that I was successful. With late-night work, I was not sure if I could get up early. But I did. I started the day with a kilometer walk and then a three-kilometer run. On my way back, I again walked another kilometer to allow the cool-down. I was happy that my stamina was good, and I wasn't panting as if to save dear life. I…

Fitness: 23rd October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning Another exciting day and that too a Saturday. Weekends are happy, and more so this one. There is a lot of exciting stuff happening in Formula 1 and Cricket, and both the sports have some excellent stuff this weekend. In Cricket, it is the India vs. Pakistan World Cup match, while in Formula 1, it is Max vs. Lewis. It's all happening, though the Formula 1 race in the United States makes things difficult…

Fitness: 24th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning Sundays and fitness are not so bad. In fact, I get more time for the run on Saturdays and Sundays because I can start work at ease. So, a little extra time for me to run today. I am planning to do the twelve-kilometer run which I used to do quite often before the lockdown. I am fit enough to do that distance now. I guess soon running marathons and half marathons would be possible again. I thought of…

Fitness: 25th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question Good Morning I had to stay up late to watch Formula 1 yesterday night and was glad that Max Verstappen won. It was a day of heartbreaks with India losing the Cricket match, Manchester United losing big time, and therefore, I was hoping that F1 would not let me down. Well, it did not. By the time F1 concluded, it was 2 a.m. over here. I thought I could work and then go for a run, followed by a nap in the afternoon.…

Fitness: 26th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** After two days of little sleep, I got one good one yesterday night. I think my body liked it. 😊 I was up early, but some work kept me off my fitness regime for some time. I also had to rush out for something important. Once I was back, I was tempted to get back to my laptop. It was about work vs. fitness. In between work and fitness, time also became a criterion. If I didn't follow my fitness…

Fitness: 27th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I am just loving the fact that the weather is turning cooler and incredible with each day. It is just the advent of winter over here but is already a nice and pleasant one. I am a stickler for cooler clim, and this falls right in my preference zone. To think that it is only going to get better from here is an awesome feeling. Anyway, what does the weather mean to my fitness regime? An even greater…

Fitness: 28th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I have been mentioning the cool weather and how I would like to run during this time. That's what I did today. I got up early, and after listening to a few subliminals, I was on my way for the run. Climate did not disappoint. I took a one-kilometer walk just to warm up and, after that, started my run. I did a three-kilometer run, taking all the flyovers on my way to increase the resistance to my…

Fitness: 29th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today was a busy day from the word go. We were expecting my sister and family at home today for a long weekend. So, a lot of preparation had to be done. I had the job of actioning out the plan. The morning just got through in an instant, with me struggling to keep up. That also meant that I could not go running. I am not overtly unhappy with it. I hoped to do some weights and had to figure out if…

Fitness: 30th October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Having completed my work quite late last night, I was still able to get relatively early. I have said before that the weather outside is too good to miss, especially while going out for walks and runs. I did manage to step out, which was an achievement in itself. Since we have my sis' family at home, I found it a bit difficult to squeeze in weights. But hey, it is more than compensated by the good…

Fitness: 31st October 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Sunday mornings are a bit relaxed for apparent reasons, but I did not want to get too slow, or else I wouldn't get much accomplished. Also, yesterday I had some late night work which went all the way to 4:30 a.m. I was in two minds to sleep or stay awake for an hour more, finish my run and then take a small nap. Did that happen? Well, I couldn't keep my eyes open. I had to take the nap. And the…
