I loved this one. Something has shifted and I’m not weak on the burpees or sprawls on this or the other cardio in this series.
I did it at night for some reason and probably won’t wind down for hours! 😝
But it flew by, well paced and I usually don’t even love complexes but these were all great by me. Solid!
Highly recommend to check your voter registration status as 3 people in my family had been inactivated. One had moved and probably didn’t respond to a postcard or something, but the other 2 are elderly and voted at the same place for 40 years.

I missed seeing new versions of this kind of dynamic content. Busy day tomorrow, so I decided to knock it out this evening and I feel great after day 1!
I haven’t redone FUEL in its entirety since it came out. My year-long CGX sub ends a week after that program starts so I’ll at least try it for that week.
So I redid the first day of the YT one today and it did go surprisingly fast and was fun. Are you guys going to be in on day one of the app one?
Well I figured this day would come… CG was always great about not allowing ads to go in the middle of workouts. The last two I’ve done on YT though, I could make it full screen on my device, but a few minutes in, it goes back to the little quarter-screen in the top left, with ads down the right…
The prevailing theory is that there is a strong link between OCD and SUD. Makes sense to me, as when I stopped drinking, I started progressive overload strength training, and doing HIIT workouts, lots of walking, for almost 5 years, and it was my new “thing” lol. I think a lot of us here probably used it that way: the combination of adrenaline and endorphins making you feel better; and exercise’s effects speeding the healing of your body. Especially increasing cardio health helps most folks feel much better.
I feel so strong and healthy and happy, don’t have to lie to my doctor anymore or be scared of annual labs. Any minor boredom or whatever I have I can take, rather than give my general good health over for alcohol.
On the subject of good food choices, and how that affects the whole health picture, for me whether I drank or not I made about the same food choices but they were badly timed and my ratio of food to booze calories was quite poor. I understand that booze calories don’t “count” like food ones. When alcohol comes on the scene, other processes like digestion slow to let more energy and resources go to de-poisoning you. So food sits and insulin builds. It was a huge help for me to learn and physically appreciate the difference in my gut happiness. To visualize the real effects, any time I’m tempted to drink and consider if I do, how many days or hours before I would have to scratch and claw again to get back to where I am *right this minute*. My resting heart rate while I’m drinking daily is 64 bpm, when sober at least a week, 46. Huge difference in anxiety that makes.
Consciously considering all this strengthens my resolve a ton.
Just some deep thoughts going into what can be a tempting weekend for me and others. Happy weekend and be safe. IWNDWYT
I wish I could make my watch (Fenix 7S solar, have had Garmins since 2017) happy wrt my high aerobic! In the past week, I did:
an hour of biking (zone 4 for about 42 minutes).
About 7 hours weight training, which sometimes gets to zone 3 or low 4.
HIIT workouts, total about 2 hours, with at least half that in zone 4.
Walked about 3 miles per day.
I feel like this is my normal week and plenty of cardio. What are you guys whose watches don’t constantly say “high aerobic deficit” doing right that I’m not? I wish I could ask it how much is enough here…
