Fitness: 4th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** The last week was cool as we had my sister's family visiting. Sis' kids are fun and are great company in all my pranks. 😊. They had a week-long vacation, and so they came over. And then we had a lot many shows to watch together. The best of them was She-Hulk and the F1 Dutch Grand Prix. The She-Hulk series was with my niece, while the F1 was with my nephew. My daughter is fantastic, and she joins…

Fitness: 5th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** The vacation that my nephew and niece were enjoying at my place came to an end, much to our sadness; well, not that sad since they will be coming back soon. But a week with us was a long time, and they seldom get that kind of time to be at our place. Anyway, it was time to say goodbye and get going. Also, 5th September is celebrated as Teachers' Day in India, and my dad is a teacher. He taught me…

Fitness: 6th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Keeping the momentum of the last two days, I decided to go for a walk yesterday night. It was actually some grocery shopping that I had to do, and I went out without my bike. So, that meant that I walked and carried some hefty weight back home - that's like cardio-cum-weights. 😊 Anyway, I am glad that I can go out some more as the monsoon is letting up. Keeping the momentum going is the fun thing.…

Fitness: 7th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today morning was one of the rush-rush days. My daughter had to be dropped at school for her basketball coaching, and later wife had to be dropped at her Zumba class while I had to fit my schedule between these two. And the fun part is everything happens between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m. So, how do I fit my regime in between? Okay, here's how. I got up at 5 a.m. and woke my daughter at 5:20 a.m. for her…

Fitness: 8th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I woke up for a run at 5 a.m., and by the time I got ready, it was pouring outside. The rains love Mumbai, and are back with a bang. Though the temperature has fallen from the highs of the previous two days, I think my running will have to wait a few days. No worries. I can still go out for a walk with an umbrella. 😊 My daughter has a holiday today, so the day was relatively easy in the morning…

Fitness: 9th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Till yesterday night, it was clear that today morning would be an easy day. However, my daughter's physical training instructor-cum-coach had other plans. Though a holiday, he called for a special basketball training in the morning. Hmm.. that changed my schedule in no time. 😊 So, it was one of those rush-rush mornings designed to make me rush. I went out for a walk, came back, dropped off my…

Fitness: 10th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Saturday arrives, giving me what Friday promised. I finally get a relaxed morning to go about my exercise and work. Not that Friday was less than good, but who does not like a peaceful morning? Especially when that morning is a Saturday morning. 😊 I got up pretty early, and though I wanted to lie down for some more time, my wisdom kicked in. Hehe. So, I got out of the house without wasting any…

Fitness: 11th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Alright, I have been enjoying Saturday night a lot. I went to sleep quite late and was not sure I would be up for my walk or run. But I surprised myself by getting up. That was one of the achievement moments of my life. 😊 You know when you don't believe you would be doing something and end up doing it – this was that feeling. So, once I got up, I peeked through the window, and lo and behold, the…

Fitness: 12th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** It was Monday morning without the Monday morning vibes. I got up with the feeling that it was still the weekend. Maybe, it has to do with all the festivals going around in full swing at this time of the year. I love the time of the year starting from September. The festivities continue right up to 31st December. That's the mood that is around, or at least the one I carry. It was a relatively dry…

Fitness: 13th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** An early morning walk on rain-soaked tracks is not bad. The weather has become cooler because of the rain, which is precisely how I like it. But today, I went in reverse order. I did weights and stress training first and then went out for a walk. Yesterday I was a bit pumped up, so I did some weights during the night. Talk about inspiration and motivation. 😊 Anyway, I think I was in the momentum…
@oivas
Fitness: 14th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I liked my reverse training the other day, so I did it today too. I started with weights and resistance training and then planned to go out for a walk; planned because it was raining outside, and I had to wait for it to slow down. I had no luck with the slowing down bit, so I went out anyway. Also, I was already sweating, so getting wet was not a bad thing after all. 😊 I had an umbrella, and much…

Fitness: 15th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** The rains seem to love our city. Usually, the south-west monsoons start receding by August, and the monsoon bids adieu to us by September. Only this year, the monsoons have some other plans. Of course, there is nothing to complain about as we have cooler mornings. With the monsoons being around, I will have to work on my fitness plan a bit differently. While the morning walks (or run) will…

Fitness: 18th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I am used to going out for a walk with my umbrella. The rains are there, but I have learned to live with them. 😊 Though running is not much, I have gone out every morning over the past week. So, I am not looking at the rains to avoid going out anymore. The plus point of all the rains is a fantastic cool day throughout. That's just how I love it and therefore cannot complain much. Will I be able…

Fitness: 19th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today morning was overcast, but the roads were dry. It was a good day for a run. Even though I could have gone immediately, I thought I would do my weights first and then go for my run. I had about forty-five minutes of excellent workout, and it started pouring just when I thought I could now enjoy the outside. It was one of those days when you felt you should have gone out when you had the…

Fitness: 20th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I got one more day of dry roads for a proper run. Over the past few months, I avoided using the flyovers because of the wet conditions. However, today it was dry enough for me to venture. It was such a pleasant feeling running over flyovers once again. The best cardio resistance training is running over flyovers. The inclines present a significant challenge to our stamina, and overcoming them is…

Fitness: 21st September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today was the second day in succession that I could go out for a run, and it was great indeed! I couldn't do much distance as I had to return to do my pickup and drop services. 😊 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are the days when I have to drop my wife and daughter to their respective classes early in the morning. That, therefore, defines how much I run and how far. But it has merits as I find…

Fitness: 22nd September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** After two straight days of running, I could make it a third one in succession. Today it was raining in the morning, but I was so pumped for a run that I did not bother. I went on with the run. I also managed to use the flyovers, which, till today, I was avoiding because they could get slippery. Interestingly, it wasn't that slippery, but the puddles of water were indeed an issue. If I tried to…

Fitness: 23rd September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Okay, I couldn't make it four in a row. What am I talking about? Well, I was out running for three days in a row, but the fourth day could not happen. I got late yesterday night, so it was 3:50 a.m. by the time I slept. I still kept my alarm for 5 a.m. I have no clue what happened at 5 a.m., but the earliest I opened my eyes was at 5:45 a.m. It is still a surprise that I managed to wake up that…

Fitness: 24th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I think the drier and cooler days are here for good. While it did rain yesterday night, the road was clear in the morning. Barring the occasional puddles here and there, it was pretty good for a run. After a break in my running schedule, I got back to my runs. One of my health enthusiast friends told me I should set a goal for the week. While it is good that I am on with my runs but plans for the…

Fitness: 27th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Okay, after three days, I am getting time to return to my laptop again. The last three days were crazy busy. I did not even have time to close my laptop, let alone open it. So, I could not talk about my exercise schedule at all. Anyway, now I am back, and glad I am back. 😊 While I did not get time to write, I did make it a point to go out for my walks and runs. After all, if I stay healthy, I can…

Fitness: 28th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Alright, I am getting the hang of these busy days. As I mentioned yesterday, I was traveling the whole day for me to even get to my laptop. So, I couldn't write much. Also, now that I have been working from home for the past three years, I've lost touch with travel and work. I think my body is not used to me traveling through the day and then sitting in the night and punching away to glory on my…

Fitness: 29th September 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today was a bit easy though I had to go out twice. I have no issue going out for work, but what I detest is the loss of momentum. I keep going like no tomorrow when I am in a writing mood. I know I can't complain about work outside the house, but going out easily costs me a couple of hours to get back to writing. And I mean, getting warmed up to write and not the duration of me being outside the…
