week 1 of body re-training
so this week i decided to start retraining my body to wake up and move earlier in the morning. i generally set my alarm for 06:37, snooze it until 06:55, drag myself out of bed, brush my teeth, and start the work day. i am now setting the alarm for 06:00, getting up at… 06:00, getting fully brushed and dressed, and walking on the beach. it’s nothing spectacular but it’s something. and even though i’m just walking, i’m walking in sand which makes my legs feel like they’ve done something. my plan is to try to make this the routine for another week or two before stepping it up. eventually, i’d like to actually be jogging (probably on the street in shoes rather than barefoot on the beach) in the mornings but it is still amazingly hot at 06:00 in florida. after a thirty or forty minute walk, i’m dripping sweat. jogging may have to wait until it starts getting under 90° at that hour of the morning. after a few weeks of getting my body used to waking and moving, i’d also like to throw some lunch-gymming back into the mix but i’m just too tired from getting up so early right now. anyhow, that’s the plan. here’s the execution, thus far:
monday | tuesday | wednesday | thursday | friday | |
25 | 40 | 30 | 30 | 25 | minutes walking |
