I want to restart Dead Hang Challenge one of these days. I think I'll jump back in at day 15 or 16 to avoid frustration.

The challenging thing about programs for me is definitely the part where I have to remember that I'm doing it and then also to take the time to do it. I didn't expect to start and finish the Recovery Program this year but I'm happy about it. My first finished program of 2026!

Perfect Balance Challenge (Lvl1) day 1/30
------------
June and July are going to be sooooo busy, or at least it currently looks like they will be
I am looking forward to the challenge though! I did think for a moment about picking some challenging darebee goals for the month again, like I did in March & April, but decided against it for now. For the next few weeks I have weekly handstands training and probably also weekly back&core workout with a friend planned. As long as I keep that up, along with daily warmups and logging, I'll be very satisfied! Any acrobatics or additional workouts I do in June I will consider Extra Credit

Universal Warmup on the balcony
20 calf raises
10 tricep dips with a chair
20 squats
20 bridges
20 knee pushups
20 one-legged bridges
Perfect Balance Challenge (Lvl1) day 7/30 (spicy!)
-------
As mentioned before, June is pretty full with things I really want to do or really want to get done. This first week I have already noticed a disbalance between time spent exercising and time spent sitting in uncomfortable chairs. My shoulders and back aren't very happy about it.
Goals for the second week of june:
- use breaks during the day to actually go outdoors! Take a walk around the building and/or do some standing exercises (squats, leg raises, shoulder circles etc.)
- do a warmup every evening, ideally paired with some stretching

Yesterday evening I got a message about a change of plans for today, meaning that I had to leave the house one hour later than usual. And somehow I managed to take care of a few things in that time, but not do my usual morning warmup or any replacement warmup. Sometimes I really don't understand how my mind works!
