Weekly exercise thread, August 3rd 2023
So, the last week was very good for me.
I did three strength work out focussing mostly on upper body. Weighted push ups have been a great discovery for me because I 1) like to do them and 2) it is so far having a great effect on how my chest looks.
I also continued my runs. I did my second run of 4.5km run on sunday. I started off pretty quick with 5min25sec per km and I managed to slow down to an average of 6min11sec per km. I feel like with a good amount of training I will be able to set very decent times. To keep myself motivated I have registered myself for a 7km trail run next month and I might do a half marathon in october if I'm feeling up to it.

I have not been doing as much cardio as I could possibly do, but tbf it's kinda cold (it shouldn't be this cold where I am during August š„“). I'd like to go swimming sometime in the coming weeks when it gets warmer, but I have been going to the gym about... 3-4 times a week. Last I did chest and it was moving pretty smooth! I feel like I'm ready to rep out 45 and a 10 now...4x6...hopefully...
Swimming is great. I wish I was able to go swimming more often, especially in nature. But I live in the city and the swimming pools are a bit too far away unfortunately.
Good on you for hitting the gym so often. I hope you can keep up the progress, comrade.
