A graph of my weight over the last month going down from 92.6kg to 90.8kg

Finally going the right way! Weight loss is the main goal until I hit 80Kg, then I can probably think about strength and fitness.
I need to remember to take some progress photos…

On another note. Everyone should start playing Motortown: Behind the Wheel. One of the most in depth driving games I’ve ever played, despite looking like a Roblox game

Anyone else tried it?
#gaming #motortown

So this one was actually surprising. 50 something (ugly) double unders as my starting benchmark here. Nearly two weeks in now and I’m down approx 1.6kg since this video. Looking forward to testing again soon!

Might as well post all of the humbling benchmarks then. This was my max push ups, it’s now down to 20 @92.5kg body weight. It used to be somewhere in the 50s I think?
Hopefully this ages well and 20 looks stupid in a few months time.

A rather humbling beginning to this latest journey. 10 pull ups is now my maximum, down from 25 at my peak. This is at 92.5kg body weight. Time to get to work…
(On the bright side, new pull up set up is awesome)

Well, in the 9 months since I last posted I have gotten very unfit. But as a very valid excuse I’d like to say it’s because I am now a Dad!

So my posts will now be me (hopefully) getting fit again and fawning over how awesome being a Dad is

Trying my hand at using ProRes 4K footage and some colour correction to go along. So here's some super high quality exercise footage featuring Maple in the background

(The aforementioned piano)

New L-Sit record! Somewhere between 10 and 11 seconds now. Up from about 8 previously.

Followed by some more piano practice between sets

Todays workout, 5 sets of scenic zen pull-ups ☀️

Definitely know I’m getting older when a new lawn mower gives me the same feeling a new playstation used to

Sorry I haven’t posted for a bit, just been stuck reading Mistborn for the first time and forgot about the rest of the world. What a great series!
#Mistborn #BookSky #Reading

No way you’ve got an axe throwing set up next to your gym stuff. Love it! 😁

Trying something other than scrolling TikTok between sets today, still learning this one!

Anyone else get up to anything odd during rests?
#fitnessSky #calisthenics

Unfortunately there’s no cure for my chin disappearing every time I do an L-sit 😂

L-sit is coming along nicely! 10 seconds(ish) today. I love seeing progress
#fitnessSky #calisthenics

It’s finally light before and after work, the dark ages are over ☀️

First pull ups in 18 months! Finally starting to add them back in now, and they feel not completely horrible, just mostly horrible…

Hoping to build back up to sets of 10

Growing up with video games gave me an unrealistic expectation of how a great a role jumping would play in my adult life.

Part of this ‘getting fit again’ journey is being humbled by exercises you were once good at. Todays exhibit, like push ups
(They moved better than I thought they would though!)

The sun coming out in earnest after winter and my mood suddenly being 10x better makes me realise I’m basically a plant

I’ll post progress pics eventually with an update, just want to give it another few weeks first

Oh yeah, I’m trying to lose some weight and said I’d post updates here for accountability…
End of week two: 85.5kg/188.4lbs
Total loss so far: 2.5kg, about the same as a small watermelon
#fitnesssky

More parallettes work! Beginning to vaguely remember how to control my body, hopefully a few more weeks and I can post impressive things, got to put the work in first though
#fitnesssky #calisthenics

Turns out I can still do a headstand! Just about…
Really enjoying finding out what I’m still able to do whilst getting back into fitness
#gymsky #calisthenics

I’ve been trying to find people who post about Calisthenics/bodyweight workouts, decided to put them into a starter pack!

#fitnesssky #calisthenics

Let me know if you are interested and want to be added. (I’ll hopefully make a custom fee for this too if I can find out how)

Forza? On a PlayStation? Never thought I’d see the day, great news for all gamers!

(Can we get Gran Turismo on PC next? 🤞)
#gaming

imagine running this route while on fire

Have you see the Hyundai RN24? They’re the only main company that see to be putting effort into figuring out what ‘fun’ looks like in a EV world
