Fitness: 1st October 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today I went for the longest I ran in the last couple of months. It was a nine-kilometer run and somehow took my breath away. For the last one kilometer, I was just walking and not running. I felt a bit tired so did not push anymore. The weather was all good and cooperative. I had no problems with the rain. Only after I reached home did I see the rain pouring down. It was like it waited for me to…

Fitness: 4th October 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today, I could manage my regular four-and-a-half-kilometer run. I am happy that my regular outdoor activity is a run, and it is at least four kilometers. That, to me, is still better than a walk. I am not against walks, but when it is possible, I would love to run. Since I was working through the night, I noticed that the weather remained dry all through, and just about 4 a.m. it started pouring…

Fitness: 5th October 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I am proud of myself that I got started with the gym today. I did not want to miss the day, so I started early. The gym opens at 6 a.m. however, I was out of the house at 5:30 a.m. and walked for half an hour. I did not want to run and sweat because it would be difficult to go home for a change and then go to the gym again. This gym is the same one where I started my fitness regime when it first…

Fitness: 6th October 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Yesterday was my first day at the gym, and today my joints, back, and arm were paining. But that’s a good pain - the one where you know your muscles are rebuilding. The fact is that the pain is the most 24 hours after exercising for the first time. The only antidote is to go through the regime again after 24 hours to settle your muscles. And that’s what I did. I hit the gym in the morning and went…

Fitness: 10th October 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Since 4th October, I have been going to the gym every day, barring Sunday. It is quite an experience to be going full-on with my workouts. In hindsight, I did miss my gym regimes. Not only that but also my old gym buddies. Sunday, I went for my run and did seven kilometers. To compute the distance and speed, I used a phone app. But, the thing is, it is not doing a good job and switches off…

Fitness: 11th October 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are dropping my daughter to school early in the morning days, so I can’t go running those days. The obvious choice is the gym, and I am easing into a rhythm that I like. Tomorrow being Thursday, it will be my run day. Although my Fitbit came two days ago, tomorrow is the real test. I am not keen on using the Fitbit in the gym as much as to track my run distance and…

Fitness: 28th October 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I am in line with my stated goal of eight packs by 15th December 2023. My gym and running are going perfectly well, only I am not getting time to write about it. I somehow feel I am bloated since I joined the gym. My first gym instructor, twenty years back, said that that was normal. According to him, when we start gymming, our muscles strengthen faster than we lose fat, so all the muscles becoming…
