Fitness Boxing session

Sometimes in this game it's very difficult to practice, because it randomly throws at you bangers like this as a soundtrack, and it's really hard to focus on exercise and not just VIBIN

Years ago, as a teenager, I tried to lift my dad's kettlebell (16 kg). I tried to do all the basics, but it was really hard. Years later, when I had already bought my own 24 kg kettlebell, I went to visit him and decided to take out his 16 kg kettlebell and workout a bit. Imagine my surprise when my body responded with, "Eh, boring." Now, with my current Argentine 24 kg kettlebell, I want to achieve that same feeling

Standing Yoga with Finch

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

Standing Stretches with Finch (it's a different set of exercises )

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

Warmup:
Cat Cow Pose - 3 times
Elbow Plank - 15 seconds, 2 sets

Started a new thing, at first we'll go easy cause we have some technique to learn

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

Ring Fit Adventure session.
Pretty chaotic day, but staying consistent clearly helps my brain

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

Okay, so staying consistent in fitness definitely helps. That I understand.But what if — and I’m thinking this while having dinner — just what if staying consistent with food helps too? No way, that’s some forbidden knowledge!

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

Dead Hangs (45x37x20 sec, 2 min rest between sets)
My base definitely grows, but my energy management still requires attention

Also 5 reps of Ab Roller

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

[Sebastian_Greil]

Also today I tried on some old shirts that didn't fit at all just a few months ago. Today they were...not bad? Not perfect yet, but that's a progress for sure
MY GOD HYPOTHYROIDISM IS AWFUL, you know

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

Dead Hangs (38x38x21 sec, 2 min rest between sets)

Workout:
Ab Roller - 5 reps

I'm still getting used to this thing

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

Ring Fit Adventure session.
Something interesting happened today: I felt a distinct urge to do an stamina set. Usually it's just doing the next level in game to progress, but today I clearly wanted to make my own life a bit more difficult And so I did

Also 3 songs in Just Dance

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

No Dead Hangs today, because I had strange tension in my neck (I think it's due to bad technique during the last Ab Roller session).
So - 3 songs in Just Dance.
I definitely have something with dancing. When I was a kid and I was having a bad day, I would put this song on boombox and GIVE IT ALL.
I should use it more

Hello I've been a fan for 4 years now. Still on my first playthrough, because I don't play every day, but I totally understand the greatness of the Ring

I'm on level 11 or 12 after two years of owning the game so I can't judge I love it but damn trying to find the time

I heard that when you complete your first playthrough and finish New Game+, the next best thing is to do a playthrough with ankle/wrist weights.

Haha the number of fitness games I downloaded and haven't yet touched I won't be done for a while...

 

[Sebastian_Greil]

Haha the number of fitness games I downloaded and haven't yet touched I won't be done for a while...

The best ones are Ring Fit Adventure and Fitness Boxing (I have only tried the Fist of the North Star part, because these games are usually expensive. But OMG the soundtrack is a banger).
I also tried Let's Get Fit and Fitness Circuit, but they are not...intense enough? I don't know. At least I love how in terms of difficulty levels Ring Fit Adventure can give you easiest warm-up ever or just reduce you to zero

24kg kettlebell is impressive to me as beginner...
Cool, another kettlebell fellow

I had a year of Crossfit experience with a veeery serious and strict Crossfit coach, and he taught me all the necessary basics.
Still currently I won't do stuff like Halo or Turkish Get-Ups with 24 kg kettlebell, I don't want to smash my skull, but Swings, Deadlifts, Rows and other base exercises go pretty fine
