Exercise tracker

On this page I hope to track what exercise I do each day, to encourage myself to exercise consistently, something I've been historically very bad at.

I plan on starting out slow, doing about three exercises daily – the plank, wall sit, and push-ups – and doing others when I feel like it. I can then slowly ramp up over time. The advantage of wall sits and the plank, is that they do not require much movement, and they don't make me sweat much, as I quite dislike sweating.

So far I've been at this for 83 days, 59 of which I've missed so far.

That's, what, a 71% miss rate? Damn, I've gotta up my game...

... I was sick, okay? Only the past week, but still...

Truth is I'm clearly terrible at exercising consistently. Probably because I hate exercising. It's boring, difficult, and painful, and I can deal with two of those but three is a bit much.

Anyways, best I can do is keep trucking along, and hopefully the mythical dopamine that's supposed to accompany exercise might hit one day...

Yeah, I'm not great at consistently exercising. My excuse this time is semester tests. But at least I keep coming back to it.

Though I wish this supposed “addictiveness” of exercise would manifest itself and make it easier for me...

It's... been a while. Tests kept me busy. Not that I was too busy to spare two minutes, but ya know...

My arms hurt now...

Been a few days... Between my old phone's screen breaking, a toe injury, tests, and spending time with friends at home I unfortunately didn't make the time to exercise until today.

Decided to do some Duolingo today to practice my German, since I usually finish my lessons in under two minutes, and my back and stomach is really feeling it...

Not sure if I've exercised more today or still recovering from yesterday or what. It could also be that my head was looking up and my arms pulled inwards, which maybe forced my back to curve down a bit...

Ouch, my body definitely isn't too fit... It also seems that minesweeper works better for endurance than GD does, who knew?

I could feel the strain in my stomach and back, and afterwards my upper arms are sore... I don't think the plank is supposed to strain your back, but I've always had a weak back, so I suppose it is good I get to strengthen it a bit.

For some reason my wrist hurts which means it hurts to do pushups... Maybe I should try one-handed pushups? But those are extremely difficult iirc...

Started playing Geometry Dash while doing the plank today. The plan is to only play it while doing some sort of isometric exercise, in order to utilise the dopamine to help me push myself further.

+ running around on my bike of course

Also, man the wall sit is much more difficult than I was expecting. Holding the plank for a minute and a half is almost more of a mental rather than physical exercise, and there isn't much muscle pain afterwards, but a wall sit for a minute was actually quite difficult and my legs were a bit stiff after... Wasn't expecting that.
