If you’re wondering what happened to my WODs, I’ve stopped them. Too many of them required movements that keep triggering my left knee problems. I’m either doing something wrong or I have defective knees. I was hopeful for a while that I could get back to it after a break and some rest but IContinue reading “Working Out During MCO”

Knee pain for the third day in a row. Nothing is helping. It’s not getting worse but it’s not getting better despite dropping all leg workouts.

Climbing, Endurance, Over-Training, and Finding Balance
I started rock climbing again. I thought it would be a more enjoyable way to build up my strength since I really loathe the conventional methods. It will not be quite as specific as regular strength training so I still need to maintain my PT sessions. Well at least it will provide a bit moreContinue reading “Climbing, Endurance, Over-Training, and Finding Balance”
Holiday Home Workout
Since I was going Down Under for two weeks and was worried I would lose everything I’ve built up training for the Spartan Beast, I asked my PT for homework. This is what he set me (there were limitations because no access to a gym or weights) – I thought I’d keep it posted hereContinue reading “Holiday Home Workout”

My Weight Loss Journey
A number of people have remarked about the weight I’ve lost over the last year so I’ve decided to share the story… Most of the changes took place over six to seven months from October-November 2017 to April 2018. I should also mentioned that even though this post is labelled “my weight loss journey”, weightContinue reading “My Weight Loss Journey”
What it Really Takes to Burn 800 to 1000 Calories
When I first started all these new workout classes, I used to hear things like – “you can burn 800 to 1000 calories”! It sounded mightily impressive and it got me thinking of all the tubs of Haagen Dazs ice cream I could devour after class. After attending numerous sessions that I tracked on my Garmin, IContinue reading “What it Really Takes to Burn 800 to 1000 Calories”
