Good Morning

It has been a while since I wrote on the site but I am back now. December happened to be one of the busiest for me. Despite the rush, I was focused on my fitness still. I can’t cover the entire month, but I will start five days back and give an update.

By mid-November, I started with the idea of keeping my dumbbells closer to my workspace. The plan was to make use of most of the breaks, especially since I work from home. It worked. I keep diverting my internet browsing time to lift my dumbbells. And since I am using the breaks and not really devoting special time, the benefits get multiplied – I don’t waste time browsing and I can do super high-intensity work out for 2-5 minutes at every break. That’s doing wonders for my body.

Anyway, let’s start with what I did today.

We are in the middle of winter and the temperatures in the mornings drop to 18-20 degrees. That’s peak winter for us in the tropics. I know it is not much for those under snow, but hey, it is quite cold for us. 😊 So, what best than going out for runs in such weather?

I did four-and-a-half kilometers in the morning and it was a sweatless affair. I’ve got to thank the weather for the pleasant morning. Starting next year, there would be many marathons around my place, so I get to see all the people practicing runs in the morning. I get company and I like it.

Once home, I was focused on my arms and shoulders. There are a few things that I keep trying out looking at Arnold’s old videos. No, I don’t intend to get a big body like Arnold’s but a more lean, strong, and muscular one. Along with the focused dumbbell exercises in the morning, I also got to do multiple rounds of them during the day. I did about six different rounds of dumbbells and each lasted for 3-5 minutes. I am happy especially that I am using extra break time to do something useful. I can’t be happier.

Lastly, my trusted Ho'oponopono sessions were conducted with absolute joy to have found a new way of doing things. 😊 Here is my write-up on the topic for those wanting to know more about Ho'oponopono.

Have fun reading and practicing.

Anyway, that's it from me for now. I will see you all tomorrow.

Namaste.

Did You Know?

Okay, this is one of the unexpected records but interesting nonetheless. The fun part is not many of you would know about it. Did you know there is a record for going up a flight of stairs with a person on your head? Yeah, there is.

Giang Quoc Nghiep and Giang Quoc Co, both brothers, hold the record. The brother went up 100 stairs while balancing the other on his head. The record was created on 23rd December 2021. The Vietnam nationals went up 100 stairs in just 53.6 seconds.
