Saturday Double

in #steem • 2 days ago

For a while now i have been either going for a bike ride or going on a longer walk with my weighted vest on each day. yesterday i decided to do both on the same day.

We had a sunny cloudy sort of day with light winds which made a nice change from the 50K winds we had the previous day.

I left my for my bike after an early morning walk around the 3K block i do, set a reasonable time and got home just after 9am.

For the month of October i rode 16 out of a possible 31 days which is alright but could be better.

On the right is the rides by month so far this year :)

Then just after 1pm i strapped my 10Kg weighted vest on and went for a walk which was just under 11K.

After walking 25K the previous day me legs felt good and was pleased to have done both a bike and a weighted vest walk on the same day.

Thursday was a rest day as you will see on the right graph.

Today i have already done 10K which leaves me only 5K to do to get to my daily goal of at least 15K per day.

We have a super sunny day here today and i have just finished mowing the lawns, i may even go and lie in the sun for a while.

Thanks for reading my post today and have a good day :)

Your dedication to regular physical exercise and a healthy lifestyle is truly commendable. Cycling and walking a long distance while wearing a 10 kg weighted vest—all on the same day—is an extraordinary achievement. Keep staying steadfast in pursuit of your goals. Best wishes to you!

Thanks for that, i am trying to stay active and not just sit around on a stupid device looking at the internet.

how much exercising do you do?

I also go for walks in the morning and afternoon. However, since winter is approaching, I’m planning to spend a good amount of time exercising every morning.

Nice there is nothing like staying active i say :)

Ohhhh yes yes yes 😉

En mi experiencia, combinar la bicicleta con una caminata de 11 km usando un chaleco de 10 kg suena como un reto de liderazgo personal. Lo que aprendí del gráfico de octubre es que mantener 16 días activos ya es un buen punto de partida, pero siempre hay margen de mejora. The other day my family tried a similar split routine and we felt the boost in energy for the rest of the week 😊

Yep there is always improvements to be had, how much exercise do you do?

Vi que ayer combinaste bici y caminata con un chaleco de 10 kg, y me recordó la receta de avena con frutos secos que preparo para recargar energía después de entrenar. El sabor de esa avena, con mi toque de miel y canela, es justo lo que necesitás para seguir los 15 K diarios. Probé y quedó genial, ¿te animás a probarla después de tu próxima ronda?

mmm sounds good, nothing like a bit of exercise to get an appetite

Vaya aventura con el chaleco de 10 kg y 11 K de caminata tras la bici, eso sí que es ruta de alta carga. En mi mochila siempre llevo un filtro de agua extra para esas jornadas intensas, ¿tú lo haces? 🌞

Normally i get hydrated before exercise, then afterwards

Miren esto, la gráfica de octubre con 16 días de pedalear me dejó viendo rutas como trazos de luz sobre el asfalto, ¡increíble! ¿Cómo se sintió llevar la chaqueta de 10 kg después del paseo en bici y seguir con la caminata? 😊

It felt good and i had no problems
