BarefootDawsy Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Well hello there, my lovely rebels, long time no see! It's been ages since I had any regular exercise regime or paid much attention to my diet, etc. Life has just become non-stop from 6am to midnight every day. Be that as it may, my body is not getting any younger, and a couple years of neglect have begun to take their toll. It's going to be a slow start, but I'm going to make it stick. Changes will involve a gradual shift towards vegetarianism, dusting off the kettlebells and jump rope, then finally I'll get back on the streets for some long-neglected running. Can't wait.

Day 1 and the morning kettlebell routine is already done. So far so good!Sent from my HUAWEI RIO-L02 using Tapatalk 1 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment

BarefootDawsy Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hey, welcome back! I know how it feels to be always running even if you are just sitting on your arse [emoji3]What routine are you doing?Sent from my HTC Desire 728G dual sim using TapatalkThanks I'm doing a pretty basic routine with my 12kg kettlebell:10x rows each arm10x shoulder halos each direction10x chest dips10x goblet squats10x leg halos each directionThat should loosen things up a bit. I'll aim to add sets and moves as I go along.It feels good to be moving again!Sent from my HUAWEI RIO-L02 using Tapatalk 1 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
Roamer Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Can't say I know ya, but I'm glad you're back bud. I know how hectic life can get, but if you don't make time for the stuff that is important - then it will never get done. Sounds obvious but I know so many people who refuse to try and make time for exercise or personal growth because there 'aren't enough hours in the day'. Only thing I can say to that is think about what is most important to you, and how much time you actually spend on that/those thing/things. In other words if work has you too busy - ask yourself if you really need to work so much? If family has you too busy - ask yourself if there is a better way to handle it. If some combination of all of those things has you busy - then you are playing on expert mode and just have to 'git gud'. Glad to hear you're back in the saddle. Keep fighting the good fight and if you ever want to just shoot the shack or need a little extra dose of motivation feel free to PM me!

I used to be out there every day, running, lifting, etc. What you're saying is exactly right though...I'm now carving out some time for fitness again and it feels great to be back into it! Day 2 and going strong Sent from my HUAWEI RIO-L02 using Tapatalk Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
BarefootDawsy Posted October 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Three days, three workouts. I know they're very light-on at the moment but it feels good to start building a routine again!Sent from my HUAWEI RIO-L02 using Tapatalk 1 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
