Exercise equipment and working out
I've started using the gym at work during my morning break. Been doing it for a little over a week. Nothing super intense because I don't want to be all sweaty and gross but I've noticed it gives me a good energy boost for the day.

That's always been my problem with running or working out during lunch, I dont want to have to shower and take even longer. I'm picturing you bench pressing in dress clothes and trying not to sweat

Haha that's kind of what it is. I usually do some quick upper body stuff or just go on the elliptical for a bit. I only have 15 minutes.

My very favorite is working out in the morning but when (young) kids enter the picture that kind of goes out the window. These days I am fortunate enough to have a work environment that allows me to take 90-minute lunch breaks 2 or 3 times per week without comment. #endunhelpfulbrag

Note: The program begins with the requirement of being able to perform 6 pull-ups. For reference, if your chest doesn’t touch the bar, it’s not counted. All pull-ups need to be performed from a dead hang with feet off the floor.
Easier said than done! But I am getting better at pull-ups. I'll give it a couple of weeks and then start the program. Thanks Kyle!

This is cool, I may look into this. Tyler, have you done clean and jerks before?

I took an Olympic weight lifting class at UNI as an elective. It didn't focus on the amount of weight, but the proper technique. Do I remember that technique or how to translate it to kettlebells? No.
I'll continue my current routine and maybe get into some of these more advanced routines eventually. I made that schedule with reps earlier in this thread and haven't been following it at all. For these first couple of weeks I have been jumping between:
-body weight squats
-pull ups
-chin ups
-sit ups on my new bench
-push ups
-walking lunges
-planks
-calf extensions thingers on a step

Nice, I wish I had taken the Olympic weightlifting class at UNI! That sounds like a fun class

Werd! I'm going to try that program because I suck yet at pull ups to chest.

Haha... between RIPs. Your joke wasn't lost on me!

That was 100% a typo because of my phone. I don't even get the joke I didn't make.

Something about how working out kills you...

I bought a fancy $10 speed jump rope this week. I don't think I'll have room to do it in the garage unless I move out a car. I can't wait to embarrass the wife by doing this in the driveway.

My new work allows you to earn points and get money off your health insurance premium. An easy way to do this is to log steps. I was using an app on my phone but I didn't think it was tracking very accurately so I dug out the Fitbit that I received as a gift last year from work. I thought it was funny when it counted my hour of push mowing as riding a bike. I'm guessing it could sense I was moving but could also tell my arms weren't swinging - something that happens when you ride a bike.
Tracking my sleep over the past couple of nights has also been interesting. Not sure I will do anything useful with this data, but it's neat seeing how much sleep you got and what time you woke up to a crying kid.
