Fitness: 1st November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** This year, it is the second time we have a first of the month on a Monday. Or was it more than that? I don't know, but I have definitely witnessed two months starting at the beginning of the week. And Monday wasn't that bad. The day was good for a morning walk, and I did precisely that. I did about three kilometers of brisk walking and was back home in about thirty minutes. Since the onset of…

Fitness: 3rd November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I am quite cross with myself on the days I am not going out on a run. After all, it is so beautiful and cool outside. If I don't go out now, then when do I do it. Oh well, there is tomorrow, anyways. Although the run and walk did not happen today, I did focus on weights and Ho'oponopono sessions. That was the saving grace of my fitness focus. The good thing, as always, exercise will no longer be a…

Fitness: 4th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today happened to be Diwali, the festival of light, and it was full of color and light all around. The morning was pleasant as usual, and neighborhood kids were already up before I could start my day. I was in two minds about going for a run or walk. Finally, I decided to do most of my fitness stuff at home. So, what did I do? I spent very little time with weights today and transitioned to…

Fitness: 5th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Working late nights is a good thing to finish stuff, but it seems to toss my fitness schedule out of the window. You see, if I sleep early in the morning, I really can't get up early in the morning to do my exercise. And that's what happened yesterday night. I slept at 4 a.m., hoping to get up at 5:30 a.m., instead got up at 8 a.m. Does that mean I did not exercise? Well, I did not go running for…

Fitness: 6th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I think reworking and rescheduling my priorities have become more important than ever. Why? Because yesterday was the third day in succession that I went to sleep late. But the good part is that I woke up like a thousand-watt bulb. Completely energized. Hmm. Less sleep, but deep sleep does make a difference. I should write a thesis on that. 😊 Since I was a bit late than I would have liked to get…

Fitness: 7th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I've got to say that this is the first year since Michael Schumacher's retirement in 2006, that I am keenly following Formula 1. Max and Lewis' battle is too good. I am leaning towards Max's win but then again, let's see how that goes. What's that got to do with my fitness? Well, I had to stay up late yesterday night till 3 a.m. to see the qualifying. So, there was no point sleeping after that but…

Fitness: 8th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** As I had hinted in my article yesterday, I would have to stay up late at night to watch the F1 Mexican GP. You see, when the GP is held in a country that is on the other side of the planet vis-à-vis us, there is no choice but to stay up late and watch. I can always watch the next day, you say. But what's the fun in the news. Isn't watching LIVE the real fun? Alright, all that lovely stuff above was…

Fitness: 9th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** After almost a week of late nights (or early mornings), I finally got to bed on time yesterday. That meant I could go out for a run in the morning. I loved how cool it was—ideal for a good run. My regular walk of a kilometer before the run happened. Then the three-kilometer run followed. I picked up the pace today. My usual pace over the first hour is around 10 to 11 kmph. However, I did my run at…

Fitness: 10th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I am yo-yo-ing back into sleeping late once again and yesterday was one other day when I went to bed at 3:00 a.m. I have been fighting this habit of going to bed late, but now I wonder if I am fighting a losing battle. Hmm.. maybe, I can just accept it for the time being and know that I can fix this and get back to my original schedule. Anyway, that precursor talking about so many things was to…

Fitness: 11th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Alright, so here's another beautiful day and a lovely morning. I think the winter is painting the town in colors as flowers are in full bloom. Things look good, and life is fun. I am certain there is no better frame of mind to be in than this. 😊 I tried out one of the workouts my daughter and I used to do at the beginning of last year. I was pretty happy with it and decided to use it as my warm-up…

Fitness: 12th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** One more morning, which was quite welcoming for a walk, and I had to take one. My father joined me for the walk. At the rate at which the weather is turning cold, we would soon require sweaters in the morning. Today was a rush day for some reason, and I hardly got time to get on with the physicals. I could see myself jumping from one work to another and did not manage to stop. But late noon, a…

Fitness: 13th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Saturday mornings offer a little more time to plan my fitness regime. It was going to be a busy day, so I had to go through my exercises fast. And, of course, the weather was as pleasant as it could be. I went for my three-kilometer run. Much like the other day, I maintained a good pace. I managed a two-kilometer walk, too, which made a total of five on the road. But that was not all. What more…

Fitness: 14th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Another late night watching Formula 1, meant that I got up a wee bit late for the morning run. So, I had to get on with my other exercises fast. The Sunday mass was at 9 a.m., so I had to rush with the regime. I focused on weights and stamina today. So, what did I do? I got on with the stamina-cum-strength regime first. It was the one I used to do with my daughter earlier. I loved how I could do…

Fitness: 15th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Yesterday night was the F1 Brazilian GP, so I had to be up till 12:30 a.m. Though I am rooting for Max Verstappen, what a race Lewis Hamilton had. He deserved to win, to be honest. Being disqualified in qualifying, starting last, and then winning the Grand Prix is next-level stuff. I have seen Michael do it once or twice. So, here we are staring at one of the best F1 seasons I have witnessed since…

Fitness: 16th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I took it easy today as far as workouts were concerned. The morning was really cool, and so I did go out for a walk. I mean, why would I miss a lovely outing. That was most of the exercise for the day. There was a lot of work to do and most outside. That's the most I had been outdoors since the lockdown started. 😊. Anyway, I did find some time for mind and soul fitness. How did that go? Since I…

Fitness: 17th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I slept late yesterday night and got up early. I was up at 5 a.m. despite having gone to bed at 3 a.m., but I just did not feel like getting out of bed. I kept snoozing without sleeping, only to watch my clock about to ring and me snoozing it again. I have no clue what I was doing. 😊 Anyway, I had decided that I wouldn't be off to a walk or run today; instead, I would be focusing on strength,…

Fitness: 18th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** After nearly two weeks, I had a long sleep yesterday night. Not that I was sleepy or sleep-deprived, I just thought of taking a long nap to see if it was any different. Well, I don't know if it is any different, but I took the suggestions of many of you asking me to take some quality nap. 😊 Life is good, the weather is better, but going for a run in that weather is best. It rained yesterday night,…

Fitness: 25th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I am back after a self-imposed sabbatical for a few days. I just wanted to ensure that days did not become weeks, and here I am. While I was on with my fitness schedule, I just couldn't come around to get my articles written. Hmm.. what could keep me so busy? Cluttered mind? Hahaha. So, the mornings are pleasant, as it was in my last update, only the unseasonal rains have stopped. It does get…

Fitness: 30th November 2021 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today I was not an early riser but could find enough time for all my chores and exercises. Miracle!! 😊. I did step out in the morning, and it was pretty cool for this time of the month. I loved it, and that's my motivation for going for a run tomorrow. By the way, on my articles, my daughter commented that she did not like the picture that I added. So, she helped select a picture which I bought on…
