Short workout, but intense. I skipped rest timers. I tried a new exercise: waiter curls. I thought it would be really easy, but of course, working out muscles in different ways and forms means it was not! Still, any workout that leads to bigger arms is going to be my favorite! #fitbyforty

I was pretty tired tonight, so I leaned probably too hard on the rest time instead of hitting it hard. Still, two days in a row for working out? I'll take it. #fitbyforty

It's funny the things that give you the motivation you need to do more and be better. For me, recently, it was seeing this interview I did while wearing this shirt. In short, I don't love the way I look in it, so I'm definitely going to hit some incline bench and some cardio! #fitbyforty

¡No puedo creer que ya haya pasado un año!

After a long summer of being outside doing outside things that I considered “working out” (moving tons of rock for landscaping, etc), I’m back in the gym!

Half a routine. Better than nothing. Goodnight!

Summer on the farm has meant so much work to do outside, which has left me with little energy for lifting. I have shifted to a new program, which will hopefully keep me from skipping legs/abs! 😅

Why not sneak a push exercise into a pull workout? #fitbyforty

April and May were crazy busy, so I didn't get any lifts in. I'm excited to get back to work during June!

With that said, now that I live in the country, I've been working (out) a lot outside, pushing myself in different ways, doing lots around the yard!

Tomorrow is the last Sunday of Sunday School! We'll be singing two songs in church, and our lessons will end at 10:00 so we can enjoy some goodies in the basement. Let's show our Sunday School teachers appreciation for all that they've done this year. Thanks so much!

It's been a good month! #fitbyforty

Fifty! Granted, I've done plenty of workouts using apps other than Hevy or no apps at all, but this is certainly an accomplishment! #fitbyforty

Putting in the time! #fitbyforty

It's been a busy week! Please don't come at me for skipping leg day this week and just starting over with push!

I'm over here lifting trucks, you guys! Follow me on Hevy (aehanson)! #fitbyforty

Three week streak! Let's go! #fitbyforty

Wednesdays will be my rest days during Lent. I almost skipped tonight (so tired) but forced myself anyway!

I love seeing so much blue on this image. It shows that I'm hitting most every muscle I can! It's been a great last four days! #fitbyforty

Working up to a longer routine. More exercises, more sets, more reps. But for now, I'm doing what I can. #fitbyforty

The bonus of buying a house with five garages, I can convert a corner of one of them into my own personal gym space. I am so excited to get back to work! #fitbyforty

As an eSports coach, my only jobs are to be organized and check in with teams at least once a week. I'm not actually required to play the games that the teams play. That all changed tonight: I gave Rocket League a try. I will admit that I'm terrible, but I also had a lot of fun playing it!

Please note the time change for the Open Gym on Sunday, February 23rd. Open Gym will run from 3pm to 6pm (rather than the usual 2pm to 5pm) this Sunday!
