Fitness

I am rucking 4 days a week and lifting 3 days a week and feeling real good. I have kept off 50 pounds I lost 2 years ago but I have some lower belly fat that I am trying to get rid of but it is stubborn.

I want to work out at least thrice a week.

At the end of last year I laid out a three year plan to get myself into shape. Year one would be general weight loss and dieting, year two I would incorporate cardio, year three is bulking. So far I've lost 58 pounds and dabbled in running. Looking to lose another 25 this year and maybe run a 5k.

I split that thought into several groups:

General Health

• get quarterly blood works done
• eat clean
• fix broken left shoulder
• fix mobility

Fitness

• integrate more compound movements and free weight training as I'm mostly doing strength on machines
• get my abs to really show (I've lost a decent amount of weight and are hovering around 18% body fat so it should be possible)
• fix my running (poor feet and asthma make it harder)
• get a 100k hike in 24 hours done

Fun

• I picked up wakeboarding end of last season, wanna continue during summer
• dabble a bit in basketball and rugby as I've always been interested in those
• go on a rock climbing tour

In general all goals are just more direction giving, I'm not sweating it as long as I keep my general routine that I thoroughly enjoy (every 2nd day resistance and every other day enough steps or a little cardio).

I had COVID a few weeks ago, my fitness goals are now: be awake for an entire day
