Asylum
Asylum Shaun T
Need to get pickle ball fit by Sep 19th
Have you read Outlive? I need to see what changes are needed to my exercise program. Increase zone 2 for sure.
8/28/23 - Strength
This was awesome. Tough but cool. We have to give it to Shaun T.
Halo's. Progressive loading. Jumps. Squats. All with your fair friend dumbells.
8/29/23 - Speed & Agility
only Shaun T can make you do this. Loved this. Sweat pool.
When it rains it pours.. Heard of Asylum hybrid meaning we are going to do Asylum hybrid part 1 and Asylum hybrid part 2 as Winter Special 2023. Last year I kicked off this Winter Special series with P90x
8/30/23
Zone 2 Cardio (swapping this with rest day 5)
Reached my 600 cal around the time I reached 400cal. There's some walking to go too.. Done with 15 min of back to core already.
8/31/23
9/1/23
I have done P90x and part of insanity before. My journey started off with strength followed by speed & agility. Although it is not living up to the name from my side, I am doing my best and enjoying it. I am gearing up for a pickle ball game in few weeks. After that we will kick off Winter Special 2023.
I am drinking lots of water now.

P90x Round 2
I am so happy to kick this off--- P90x Round 2
Other than this, I get a 30 min walk in the afternoon.
7/14/23 -- Kenpo -- Day 6
If I did Chest & Back on 7/15 and Plyometrics on 7/16 .. it would have been great..
Due to unexpected work on 7/15, I just ran in place and finished my exercise. happens to be the first weekend without any weight change.
7/17/23
I could do only 7 min of chest & back -- due to time crunch
Week 1
7/18/23 -- Day 1
Today I finished the rest of it. Changes this time around -- using 10 lbs pair instead of 8lb. Using a swing for the pull up bar. I added the chair today and its a world of difference. I feel like I worked out. My dad says that when he started exercise in his 40s.. he would sweat enought of fill a small glass. I could brag something like that to my kids now. Full sweat drips on the yoga mat.
7/19/23 -- Day 3
Shoulder & Arms. Didnt get to the last round
7/20/23 -- Day 2
Plyometrics. Did it with wrist weights and 1 lb light weight in hand. Skipped the sports section.
7/21/23 -- Day 5

Done
7/22/23 -- Day 4

Amp it up
Recently I realised I was putting on more weight. I was exercising but my average exercise calories were about 200 per day due to some busy time. Last week I was able to bring that up to 400 and problem solved. I am tacking on 10-15 min more time to my usual exercise time of 30 min. I call this the snowball method of exercise. you are anyways there, just add a little bit more time if you see bouts of days coming where you might not be able to fit in exercise into your schedule.
400 exercise calories 5 days a week, seems to be the sweet spot.
This last weekend, I didnt put on weight. I have figured out how to be active enough.. and ofcourse amp the protein too --- sardines, here I come.

Halasana and Shoulderstand
Have gotten into the practise of Halasana and Shoulderstand. The whole thing at 3 mins now. want to practise headstand.
The headstand sequence took about 18 min. I am sure the headstand will take months. Just getting used to the inversions is a great thing.
The goal is to be able to do any yoga pose for 2 hours - maybe vajrasan. Was thinking of splitting it into 5 sections of 24 min each - with Baddha hastasana, 2 sides of Garudasana and 2 sides of Gomukhasana.
