Workout: Cardio
Equipment Used: Schwinn AirDyne
Duration: ~4mi/~30min
Driver: Death Angel: Act III
Calories: ???
Quality Level: N/A Just trying to get back into it...
Observations/Intel: I should note that air was fine for this, but it was very casual, almost like a 30 minute warmup. Legs and everything are also ok, but I didn't use the handles much. We'll see how this holds up during the week, but my motivation is pretty high, which also helps...
Among the many, many things I didn't mean to do was to take another 4 years off, but I blew out my shoulder pretty badly...shoulder is better, but left Achilles is kind of screwed, depending on the day/weather. I also found out I have significant allergies and with my additional weight and age, much worse asthma...so, found an allergy pill that worked, got some albuterol for the bad days and then...COVID-19...
Anyway, my air is awful right now and I'm wayyyy too fat. So, order of priority is those two things. Gyms are not safe right now, so not super concerned about if I can get into a gym for a while...I would love to be able to lift again, but I need to shed a good 20 lbs.,at least, and get air better. For cardio, duration is better for fat-burning, so I'm really trying to focus this week (and maybe) next on getting back into the saddle again. I'm shooting for 30 minutes per session (might also add in some walking around), with an eye on getting to double sessions, possibly and definitely some HIIT down the road. I need to make sure that I'm also not introducing myself into headaches, which was the case last time I tried this, coming in the next day. I may need to get a more fuller medical workup done at some point in the future, but for now, I'm going to try to ease into things, get my ass back into the shape of being able to handle a saddle and my body generally used to more activity...even if it takes through April, that's fine. Not in any kind of hurry...
I've also adjusted diet, since that is responsible for 85% of the success rate and have decided to let weekends be free (given my other activities, including video channels and other blogs), but will be dialing in my diet a lot more severely during the week, trying to eat as cleanly and healthily as possible. It has not been egregious for a while, at least all of 2021, but I could stand to clean it up more and get some ratio adjustment towards protein going again.
