Nice job! It's good to get this feedback. What I like about this workout is that it really touches all the important points of strength, respiratory and mobility fitness. You've now inspired me to go back and do it myself this weekend.
In your previous post, you shared how you posted an exercise on your bathroom mirror that you must complete before crawling under the covers. I like that attention-grabbing idea! Instead of choosing just one exercise, which I find necessary to allow for recovery days to maximize benefits, I’ve created a rotating list to address my various (...and many)weaknesses across several muscle groups. This list includes Nordic curls, skater squats, push-ups, pull-ups, weighted sit-ups, wall sits, and planks. I draw one card from the deck each night to determine which exercise I’ll do. Then, I'll withdraw that card from the deck until I complete the stack. This is my non-negotiable exercise. It's surprising how often I'll find myself snuggled in to remember I "forgot" my nightly duty. Of course, with a sigh, I roll out to complete the nightly commitment. Thanks, Gwendolyn.
" .... I roll out to complete the nightly commitment." Nice. And I really like the deck of 'non-negotiable' cards. Good tip for all the N2L folks here.
This is what I try to do also. Sometimes I have the particular exercises scheduled(Krav is on Mondays, rucks M/W) but for others like bike rides I just have a set number I want to do in a week. Everything is straightforward so if I miss something I can add it in. Curious about the Grit online training.
I've worked with the Grit coaches since 2019. They took me from back-of-the pack to front — and they are really personalized and specific for your goals. Here's their website https://gritcoaching.net/. Since you are a paid member of this newsletter, you can get a discount on the first three months of training w/ Grit. If you need your code again (it's in that workout PDF you received) just let me know.
I just completed the NTL Gritty workout! It was challenging. I got through two rounds in the second circuit.
