Thanks for sharing! I should probably know this, but .. how is that activity count calculated?
on iPhones it‘s the step count synced from the health app
Aha. 7600 steps is a good walk. Do you have a daily target for steps taken?
that‘s a shorter one, i‘m trying to get at least 10k steps a day
That's a good goal. And from your previous logs, it seems like you usually have no problem reaching it? Mine is set at 9350 steps, but I think I also typically reach around 10k
always depends on the morning mood and feel and a bit the weather also …
I started my day as usual with the Pranayama routine. It's so refreshing and calming.
Love to hear about your consistency. I have yet to try it myself, but I have bookmarked the video you tipped me off about
It's very easy and fun way to stay fit and relax with robust energy.
I think you're right about that. Have you heard about Adam Ondra? He's one of (if not) the best climbers in the world. He says he does nidra yoga every single day (I think it's similar to this right?)
The Pranayama I shared, works on your whole body. Bastrika on lungs, kapal Bhatti all internal organs, any blockages in the body, any stone in the kidneys or gall bladder, every cell. Anulom Vilom helps deal all the nervous system and any mental health issues like stress, anxiety. Anulom Vilom is also good to get rid of your 👓 specs if we do it regularly for 15 minutes at least. Immense benefits.
that sounds pretty amazing. Okay consider me inspired. I will try it tomorrow morning
I appreciate that. I practiced many styles of yoga. But this is the best, my 20 years of practice.
A yoga nidra.
Right. So how does this compare to what you do?
This is what you mentioned about the nidra. So I shared something about nidra.
Well yes nidra yoga is good for relaxation calming all your muscles and cells, when an expert gives commands while you lay down in shivasana.
Ah sorry, I didn't see this response. Right! That was roughly my understanding as well
Good for a deep sleep.
It is not recommended at this speed for beginners or people having any hypertensive diseases. Always be gentle and do it very slow.
It‘s not really obvious what he´s doing there in every excercise, breathing in or out, through the nose or mouth, brest or belly …
Here it is the detailed explanation: All breathing is till the diaphragm, nothing in belly.
Bastrika Pranayama: We breathe with equal emphasis in and out till the diaphragm, through the nostrils.
Kapalbhatti Pranayama: We expel by pushing the belly forcefully; the inhalation is only passive. ! Stroke for one second.
Anulom Vilom Pranayama: Alternate nostril breathing without holding the breath. Always start breathing in from the left nostril and breathe out from the right nostril, then breathe in from the right nostril and breathe out from the left nostril. This is one cycle.

15km today 👏

😱
Amazing. How many days do you typically need restitution, before you can go on another run after a run like this?
depends mostly on how hot it is outside. I tend to lose a lot of water weight. So one time I lost 4kg after a run and then it took a couple of day to restore my body 😅
Hello friends! May your Friday be amazing and I wish you a great weekend.
Thank you and likewise, Tiago!
I think the snake was hungry.
Do you use any device to measure your steps when walking or running?
I use a Garmin watch to track my steps,and also my running and strength excercise.
I'll look into it here, I didn't know about Garmin.
These devices are increasingly modernizing.

I have to get back into it. This last week I've had sinus headaches and a sore throat from allergens in the air. Even exercising indoors has not been an option. That's what I usually do anyway.
Ahh allergies. My colleague is also terribly affected by it in spring. It is most unfair that some have to struggle so much with it. I hope the situation gets better sooner rather than later
Thanks for that! I am sick of feeling like I have a cold when I don't. I guess it ticks me off cuz it is something I can't control. 😂
yeah, it's sort of almost provoking actually, from nature's side, when you think of it. Yeah I hope it loosens up for you soon!
Using a Mace

I've heard about those. That movement gotta be good for those rotator cuffs too
Yes... a lot of benefits using them. This one is not heavy but I wanted to learn the movement first. I should buy a heavier one soon.
However, when I do exercise this is my go to.
I pay for the app. It's on my TV.
But there are alot of free videos from Leslie Sansone on YouTube.
She has alot of different coaches leading the workouts and there is toning along with them. https://walktv.walkathome.com/catalog.
Looks like a good program, especially if you prefer to work out at home. I have a similar approach when I do yoga, as I hate going to yoga studios. I always follow the same video xD
I like it because there is no crazy choreography to try and follow. I remember the Richard Simmons videos. You're probably too young but I could never keep up with those.
Not him in particular, but I have seen some crazy stuff in the category too, for sure xD

I recently switched up my diet to eat a lot less meat. I still eat it, but instead of having meat for dinner almost every day, I now eat vegetarian 4-5 days a week.
How many vegetarian meals do you eat a week?
Most of the exercise I've done in my life is strength training, I have not focused much upon cardio/running until about a year ago. Someone here on InLeo that really inspires me with regard to running is @anderssinho. He mentioned he had plans this week to do a 20km run! Hopefully he will share a bit about it with us here.
There might be an announcement later today regarding a collaboration with Actifit, which is really exciting. We're still ironing out the details, but hopefully we'll have some news for you in that regard later today
We continue our quest to maintain a positive and motivational environment to stay active and healthy and hold ourselves accountable
I know our fitness-guru @calebmarvel01 is ready, he's already done some serious training videos today.
I also made a blog post on the fitness stuffs 😂😂😂😂...
I posted a link to it in the fitnesscast :)
Alright 👍👍..
Today was my first proper training session since Monday. I've had terrible sleep this past week which has left me fatigued. Luckily I slept very well tonight and is now feeling much better
Today's workout report:
Warmup
Sets
Self assessment:
As you can see I do pretty short workouts. I try to make them short and often, rather than long and rarer. Today I still felt weak after all the poor sleep lately. I did not perform nearly as well as I usually do. Note to self: Go to sleep earlier
I started the day with my regular 10 push-ups and 10 airsquats. Starting to feel stronger again. I want to increase the amount of push-ups I'm able to do each morning
It appears I have been challenged. I guess we'll see, Caleb xD
