    What is your favorite hobby or pastime? My favorite hobby nowadays is to read and ingest all the political news that’s out there on social media. But it’s mainly through Twitter. (I still refuse to call it “X”.) I can get so lost in consumption that I forget to be a learner and a producer.…

    I took my 25th ride at Soul Cycle yesterday and I got this neat badge from the app. (Shout out to IAM. She put me onto the franchise and she loves it. She has taken 125 classes.) Spin is a great alternative to running for cardio workouts. It’s a bit pricey for a single class,…

    Improving Stamina – Update No. 3 I finally did the workout on 12 mph with the 5% incline. What I did would be considered “assisted” sets. 12.0 is very challenging. I had to hold on to the handlebars for at least 6 of the 8 sets. I was really exhausted after completing it. Next time…

    This morning at the end of my workout I did the stamina treadmill workout again. This time I started at 11.0 mph through the 8 rounds. This was very challenging. By the time I got to the 4th round of sprints I was gassed. That 30 second rest felt like it wasn’t enough. Next time…

    Update: I did this workout 2x this past week and got some decent results. This morning I ran at 10 mph for most of the working sets (6 of 8). The last two, I ran at 10.5 and 11 mph. I broke a sweat after my regular workout. I’ll report back with the 11.0 mph…

    Here’s a workout that I’ve tried a couple times. The first time, I couldn’t keep up with the 12 mph pace during the 2nd or 3rd set, so I turned it down to something more manageable, e.g., 8.0 mph. Today I attempted it again. This time I set the treadmill to 9.0 during the working…

    What’s the most fun way to exercise? This answer may be based on the fact that I play basketball a lot but a good challenging game of 5 on 5 is a great workout. There’s nothing like jumping, cutting, shooting, shuffling, running, and sprinting, etc., all to put an orange ball through a hoop. I…
