I'm 60 and overweight, so I started going to the gym Jan 1, Three days a week. Squats bench press bent over rows overhead press deadlifts calf raises lat pulls I do 3 sets of each, trying to get 8-12 reps to failure, try to rest about 60 seconds between each set, I am on a serious to me diet, very low carbs, eating clean. Damn this is hard. Will start some cardio later.

Haven't missed a day yet this year. Just did an hour on the spin bike, with 30" of that as intervals.
I can't wait for the new bike to arrive.

We still have high quality carbs and don’t deprive ourselves of the fun stuff every now and then but I feel better at 41 than I did at 25. Way to go Coyote!!

Got 4 miles at an 8:35 pace this afternoon. Had scheduled 6 for my long run but time constraints prevented that. Daughter rode her bike with me for part of my run.

I dropped 10 lbs that I packed on over the holidays eating all the junk we're not supposed too, but now I am stuck, hoping this will break and start losing soon. Chipping away at the mountain. LOL

I’m trying to do weights, taking it slow, can see a difference in 3 weeks, don’t want to sit and waste away since I retired.

Run log update:
Week 4 (Jan 23-29): 9.2
2022 Total: 38.7 / 4 ( 9.68 / Wk)
Not my best week but tomorrow is nice and sunny and 6 miles should give me a good start to the week.
Got in two strength days as well.

Finally got back on the dreadmill this week after a few weeks of the crud. 4 slow short runs with stretching and 30 good form pushups for warmup. Youngest son finally got on the mill too (been pestering him to do so in prep for winter league indoor soccer) and he want to start lifting. Plan to hit the gym tomorrow.

Holy crap, the new bike has an app. Did a 1 hour intervals workout and my legs are jello.
It is nice having data now. HR and cadence don't lie.

I wear a heart belt at the gym, it’s kinda cool to watch the calories burn.
A couple of things I learned: 1 the stair master sucks, but burns a lot of calories 2. Weights burn a lot of calories in a short time.
I usually start on a treadmill, 8% incline at 3.7-4 mph for a 5-10 minutes. Usually 10 minutes, some days I a little less.
Then it’s total body work out. My energy levels have went up, that and I started eating more protein and less carbs.

Had a good January with 155 miles on the trails (23 of those with backcountry skis). Not keeping track of elevation this year, but in the 35,000' range. Definitely on track for 2022 miles. Have some bigger trips in the works, so they'll give me some breathing room too. Hit my strength training sessions twice a week. Deadlift/squats/bench.overhead press- all up. Sticking with Wendler's 5/3/1 as it works for me.
