Workout: What did you do today?

[DJChameleon]

Friday I did just cardio 20 mins on elliptical.

Today is the weekend and time away from the gym but I did my 20 min morning walk right after it rained.

I hate the smell of rain.

The smell after it rains is beautiful. The green, fresh smell. Petrichor 🥸

My favorite smell in the entire world

Must be nice where you live it fucking stinks here. Rain hitting asphalt in an urban area that has been roasting all day stinks.

OK that makes sense. Its very green here so that does help. After it rains here it smells lovely.

walked a lap, ran a lap, walked a lap, ran a lap for 2 miles in this wicked heat today at the park

I got a bench, but I haven't used it for lifting anything because I feel like I have some inflamed tendons problem in my left hand. I've had it for at least a couple of months, though I didn't mention it here. I don't know what caused it.

It only affects the index and middle finger, but it can be quite painful. The worst is changing the sheets on the bed and tucking the sheet down in the corner towards the walls 😄

Anyways. That's part why I haven't started the whole swole thing. I'll get some running and situps and shit done tomorrow, though.

why though?

I don't understand why people decide to exercise in the heat of the day. Go either super early in the morning when it hasn't started to heat up or after the sun goes down.

I don't get it when I see people jogging out in the middle of the day especially around 2 to 3pm like why? You wanna die of heat stroke because that's how you die of heat stroke.

I did it mainly that day to get hot and appreciate the A/C when I got back. I was wanting to sweat a lot and most times when I decide to shower lately, Ill go run and walk outside in the heat and sweat before I come back and shower. But it wasn't that hot too. I do go in the mornings when it's been in the 70s/80s here for temps

oh okay so you are a bit reasonable then lol

but I shower just walking in the heat like when I get home because I feel sticky and funky. As soon as I get in from the heat I take another shower.

I'd suggest going doctor but if they're like they are here they'll just say to rest and take paracetamol or something.

I hope it clears up soon.

You'll be a beefy viking warrior before you know it!

Workout update! We just ordered an under-desk elliptical pedal machine, which will be pretty handy for multitasking; I can substitute that for my morning walk and get in some leg work while actually having time to work on sewing projects, watch videos, and do paperwork and data stuff.

I'm excited; if there's one thing that gives me a dopamine hit, it's streamlining my workflow and schedule to be more efficient.

Oooo I bought one of those during the pandemic but tbh I didn't use it as much as I really wanted. I tended to use it maybe twice a week instead of daily but I still own it. It's just currently collecting dust.

I get that, for sure. We got one with a display that shows how much you've used it, so that's actually gonna be really good to be able to prove to the mister that I'm not shirking my exercise, haha. If there's one thing he loves, it's keeping me on the ball and accountable. As it is I have to send him a selfie taken while I'm out on my walk, but this way feels like it's gonna be more tangible and easier to keep track of.
