My half hearted attempts at exercise – were just that, half-hearted. I’ve never been an exercise person, and for all my attempts at sticking with it, it was never gonna happen. Although according to MapMyRide I’ve cycled 258kms in April alone. In total, I have now cycled farther than the total distance we are due to be cycling on the holiday.
Anyway, I happen to mention on a work call to my team colleagues what I was trying to do to make up for the lack of walking and pottering around the city, because of being stuck at home. One of them suggested that we could do some exercises together using Zoom. She has a stack of fitness dvds languishing on a shelf and said we could try to follow some. One specifically is a 25 minute HIIT session called 30 Day Shred.
We decided as a team – the 4 of us – to take up the challenge, starting from Monday 4th of May for 30 days. I want to keep up with some form of exercises / movement so I don’t gain weight being stuck at home and so close to the fridge. Particularly as I’ve been very naughty with my cycle training and not doing the 3 weekly sessions I promised myself. As a way to add structure to our days decision was made to do the sessions at 5pm – that would effectively mark the end of our working day.
I don’t know what I’m signing myself up to. Let’s see how long this fad last.
Oh, and in another breath I’ve also decided to take up learning Chinese Mandarin using that Duolingo app. Well, I have to do something with my time stuck in the four walls. Everything outside is still closed, nowhere to go and socialise.
