Back to working out

[mtbc]

I was back on a cross-trainer at work this morning, for the first time since returning from my vacation. I didn't achieve a lot, the couple of weeks off may have set me back another couple of weeks, but I will eventually get to half-hour workouts.

My fear of SARS-CoV-2 means that the dropping of the mask mandate at work makes me hesitant to use the gym. I do not think that I dare risk it during normal workdays. If I go in on weekend mornings, I typically have it to myself but that is extra drive time and I don't know if two consecutive days of cardio each week suffices for reaching reasonable fitness atop my simple strength training at home.

I wear a mask when I work out because I'm around a lot of young people who don't wear masks. I feel really safe doing that. I also got my second booster yesterday, which will help.

Calisthenics is surprisingly good for cardio too, and could be done at home.

That is a fair point and helps to explain why that kind of exercise soon has me short of breath.
