I’m also carrying a mask everywhere at the moment. Not always using it but certainly using it in airplanes and alike… Better safe than sorry

I split that thought into several groups:

General Health

• get quarterly blood works done
• eat clean
• fix broken left shoulder
• fix mobility

Fitness

• integrate more compound movements and free weight training as I’m mostly doing strength on machines
• get my abs to really show (I’ve lost a decent amount of weight and are hovering around 18% body fat so it should be possible)
• fix my running (poor feet and asthma make it harder)
• get a 100k hike in 24 hours done

Fun

• I picked up wakeboarding end of last season, wanna continue during summer
• dabble a bit in basketball and rugby as I’ve always been interested in those
• go on a rock climbing tour

In general all goals are just more direction giving, I’m not sweating it as long as I keep my general routine that I thoroughly enjoy (every 2nd day resistance and every other day enough steps or a little cardio).

You got that! Take each day as it comes and take the time you need. COVID can be such a bitch… Rooting for you

Update: I’ve been using my vest from time to time. Not religiously, and only on rest days. 10kg is very easy to carry and doesn’t feel extremely taxing. I use it when I go for a fast walk or when I know I’m shuffling a lot of stuff around my place.

I don’t feel overly exhausted or fatigued by it. Will post a second update once I took it on a longer hike.

Thanks for all the tips and feedback!

I just tried yesterday and so far I can say I’m a bit more fatigued than usual. However, I also did my usual (quite intense) workout in the afternoon and I walked another 15 km around town due to tattoing and dinner with a friend. Really hard to tell right now.

Thank you for the advice! I will go slow and ease into it

Thank you!

Re 1: I’ve got the caloric deficit realigned over every now and then. It’s about the last few percentage of body fat. Trying to see how far I can get/if I can get shredded for the first time in my life before my mid30s body decides to never allow it again LOL (JK).

Re 2: That’s actually possible, it’s so hard to see this tho on a day to day basis. I haven’t taken regular progress pictures or anything so I’m hardly noticing the diff. For a long time it was easy to go by weight and BF reported by my xiaomi scale.

Alright, it makes sense. Instant 10kg more load is fairly taxing. I noticed that as well! Thank you for the tips!
