2024 April Update
Updated on: 2024-04-11
Books I’m reading #
- The Art of Impossible
- Hidden Potential
Other things I’ve been doing #
- I stepped aside from my day job on April 1, the reasons of which I will share at a later time
- I’ve been going to the gym regularly since Feburary, here are some things I’ve noticed:
- The 5 minutes before I finally decide to put on shoes and stepping out to the gym are the tougher than the actual training at the gym
- If Apple Watch measurement is to be believed, I observed a roughly 7% improvement in VO2 max over the past 2 months
- I did not alter my diet. My craving for sweet and fatty food actually subsided
- My body weight actually increased a little probably due to the supplementation of creatine. Yet, my clothes are fitting better. Two weeks ago, I comfortably wore a shirt that I haven’t been able to fit in for 5 years.
- Workout I have been doing most often:
- Rowing is my primary choice for cardiovascular workout
- Lowerbody strength training through squat and deadlift
- Outdoor uphill walks in the morning or after dinner
