"OKfit, what are you doing these days?"


  

          

I'm finally not traveling for work, working static hours, and those hours are during the day time. First time I've had anything like that since at least 2011.

So starting this week I've been focusing on keeping myself accountable and figuring out what works for me so I can consistently do that.

Keeping track of my calories and carbs via MyFitnessPal is my initial weight loss plan.

Me and the wife are trying to do yoga together a few times a week.

And I set up a weight cage in the basement a few months ago, but didn't have a lifting plan. Stronglifts 5 x 5 helps develop a plan.

Also, Ive been walking a mile to metro to work rather than drive and I'm getting about 3 miles in a day. But when daily light savings comes I'll start riding the bike to work again.

           position of how upright or forward you are plays a huge part
Jan 30th 2018
73
                ^^^ lunges should feel like you're pulling thru the heel, not pushing
Jan 30th 2018
76
                     Can you give squat form advice
Jan 31st 2018

Jan 31st 2018
94
                                    Yeah that's pretty bad advice
Jan 31st 2018
96
                                    Since you're here giving out squat advice
Jan 31st 2018
97
                                    Those are basically front squats and more quad dominant
Jan 31st 2018
98
                                    Thanks for the response.
Jan 31st 2018
100
                                    Front squats are great for a lot of people
