Day 4 · Awesome! Hybrid Calisthenics

Day 4

I had another busy day on lack of sleep, but hopefully my sleep will return to normal soon (my toddler is in a growth spurt ATM and wakes up in the night).

I did some inverted rows at the park, lots of incline pushups throughout the day everywhere, more glute bridges, the forearm plank for 45 seconds and over a minute rest then 20 more seconds (that's all I could do--it's SO, SO HARD!), and used 15 pound weights to hold my arms out like the iron cross for as long as I can twice and later in the day did 15 reps with them (literally a few seconds break after each one by the time I started that as my arms were already tired and sore), a few squats, and leg raises. So although I had a very busy day, I prioritized more exercise today everywhere. A little bit at a time throughout, not all at once.

With all that said, I am still in my typical step range and have only 4, 736 steps at the end of the day. I don't understand how busy people can consistently get 10,000+ steps per day. I have done it a few times this year, but that's me going on two 30 minute walks plus general moving around the house. It's so hard to get steps in. What's an easy and fun way to get at least 10,000 steps per day? I struggle big time with that, especially with my busy life.

I will probably do daily updates for only 7 days or so then I will switch to a weekly update. I tend to stay up way too late writing these updates and it's best if I can at least go to bed earlier if my baby girl is going to wake me up in the middle of the night. I may be able to write some other posts in the week, but not like these updates at the end of the day. We will see what happens. I do still want to remain fairly active on here whether that be making posts or actually being able to comment on others posts, that would be nice. Off to bed now. Thanks for reading!
