A Get Fitter Subscriber only series?

So, even though I am clearly immortal, age may be catching up with me, and I have noticed at my genteel age of 56, certain foods do not get processed with the same efficiency at getting rid of garbage as I used to be able to do well into my 40s.

And possibly due to having caught the bioweapon designed to kill descendants of Viking Crusaders (Covid) in a particularly nasty way, and then two pneumonias, one of which came close to killing me, I also ended up not moving around as much as the farm in any case requires.

So… am thinking to start some kind of general improve my overall health/fitness regime thing. It’s not going to try and impress anybody, I am just doing this for my personal sense of well-being and overall health, but I figured there are probably a bunch of people out there either around my age or a bit younger, or older that might want to get some inspiration from it and if my showing what I do helps motivate them, it might be helpful to post regular updates on my progress. I don’t have specific targets in mind, other than to get overall a bit fitter, being able to train a little even if only by myself and a bag and the forest, or chase my kids around a bit more and swim with them in the sea when we go to the beach (in fairness I do this anyway, but it would be nicer if I felt I could do it longer and more often without feeling it at all).

There are only 21 of you that are subscribers, and they are split as follows:

3 founding members

12 yearly paid, and

6 monthly paid

I figure if I do this it needs to be something of value to these people, so let me know if you are interested in it.

For the most part it would be a record of what exercises I do on a weekly or so basis, more or less a brief description of what I eat or don’t eat and possibly whatever else comes to mind.

I’ve always been fairly good at being self-motivated to train, or do whatever, but it is definitely harder with work, a farm, a wife, and six kids. So, in part, my having to give a report on it regularly is also a small way to help keep me at it even on those days when everything conspires to try and make you a lazy man.

As I said I don’t have any specific objectives, but we can come up with some together possibly. I was toying with the idea of say doing X number of pushup by Y date, or stuff like that.

I would also probably demonstrate some exercises that I would do not in the classical “fitness” sense, but rather in a Systema alternative that has some more long-lasting effects.

Alright, the proposal is out there, if you’re a subscriber let me know in the comments if you want this or not.
