How to Stay Fit and Healthy at Home with Geo — Day 26

7 min readMar 26, 2021

I guess yesterday’s enthusiasm tired me out because I overslept even though I had a morning workout planned. This seemingly small misstep was enough to throw off my entire day. Lucky was my day off from work, but I still felt really guilty about not adhering to the routine I had set for myself. This disappointment kind of just lingered with me throughout the whole day.

Firstly, I had trouble focusing on re-grouting the bath and often found myself overly eager to redeem myself right away. Naturally, though, I was stuck in a chair for most of the morning, so I just made myself even more reckless. Once I got off work I wanted to go and work out right away, but I convinced myself to stick to the schedule and handle other things before I started.

Rest day’s are for wimps, I must have needed the catch-up however never let that get in the way of the rest of the mission. All we truly control is ourselves.

I will say that I had a great workout after dinner, so much so that I’d say it almost made up for oversleeping. I lifted heavier and even managed to do more reps. I’ll definitely be sore in the morning, but I’m really proud of how I responded to this small bit of adversity.

Today was a bit of a rollercoaster, but I think I made it into a positive in the end. I worked hard to redeem myself, and I’ll make sure to do even more of that tomorrow morning. I’m not going to oversleep this time, even if I have to tell my kids to pour cold water on me while I’m sleeping.

Daily Exercise Planner Day 26 Geo Life Year of Change

Missed the Morning Jog but made up for it with my exercise regime and HIIT.

I have developed a 5 stage HIIT programme I am on level one obviously, as just started today, however after a lot of reading thee exercises will cover a large range of muscle group and should help shred the fat along with my diet.

LEVEL 1 HIIT

Try some warm-up and make sure that your body is warm to start exercises

Repeat every exercise for 20 seconds and after every exercise take 10 seconds rest. Keep your body warm and try to maintain the breathing cycle.

Jump Jack

Stand with your feet close together and hands tucked beside your body
Now, jump on the spot and take your feet apart as much as shoulder’s distance
Simultaneously, raise your hands in the air such that in your final position your hands are vertically up and your legs are shoulder’s distance apart.
Immediately return to the starting position by jumping back in and with hands back to beside the body
Repeat this exercise for 20 seconds

Toe Touch

Stand upright with both feet at shoulder’s distance apart.
Your hands must be in the air vertically above the body
Now raise one toe in the air such that it is perpendicular to the body
Try and touch that toe with the other hand and then alternate the toe and touch it with the other hand
Now, repeat the exercise

Press-up

This is a simplified version of push-ups
Place your hands beside your body and toes on the ground with knees also resting on the ground
Now lift your upper body with the use of the hands
Now push your body back down by flexing your elbows
Make sure to keep the hand position appropriate to not pressurize your back

Forward lunge

The forward lunge is an extension of Static Lunge
Stand upright and from this position take one stride forward with one leg while keeping the other leg at the original place
Now lower down the body such that the leg which was behind (in the original position) is now touching the ground or almost touching the ground
Hold this position for 3 seconds
Now push back to the normal position where you come back to the position where both the feet are parallel to each other
Now take the stride forward with the other leg and repeat the exercise

Clap Jack

Stand with your feet close together and hands going outwards beside the body in the air
Now, jump on the spot and take your feet apart as much as shoulder’s distance
Simultaneously, take your hands perpendicular to the body to clap in the air
Immediately return to the starting position by jumping back in and with hands back to beside the body in the air
Now repeat the exercise

Walkout

Stand upright and then bend down so that your hands are touching the ground
Bend your knees a little to ease the pressure of the back
Now, move forward with your left hand and then put your right hand forward and then with your left hand to imitate a walk on your hands
Take the steps of walking with your hands so that you reach the push-up position
Now return to the starting position by taking three steps backward with your hands
Now again stand upright and repeat the exercise.

Bicycle

Lie on the ground with bent knees and hands behind the head
Now bring your left elbow close to your right knee by doing the bicycle motion in the air
Now bring your right elbow close to your left knee in a continuous bicycle motion

Single-Leg Shoulders Elevated Hip Raise

It is an extension of the Shoulders-Elevated Hip Raise
Place yourself in front of a chair or a stool with firm ground contact so that it doesn’t move when you exercise
Now place your upper back such that the shoulder blades rest on the chair with hands outwards horizontally from the body and parallel to the ground
Bend your knees so that apart from your heel nothing else touches the ground
The other leg has to be lifted in the air a little bent at the knee to reduce the stress and completely straight in the air to increase the difficulty level
Now lift your hips by squeezing the glutes and the core strength
Hold the top position for 5 seconds and return to the starting position

Squat

Stand upright and then spread your feet apart as much as the shoulders
Now sit down in the air by bending the knees and pushing the buttocks behind
Try and get down till the thighs are parallel to the ground
Now push the body up with heels and calves and repeat the exercise 15 times
Make sure to push the buttocks behind and not push the knees forward

Plank

Lie down on your back with legs completely straight and hands beside your body
Now place your elbows on the ground so that your entire forearm is rested on the ground
Now raise your body using your core strength and by tightening your glutes such that your forearms and toes are the only contact points with the ground
Hold this pose for 20 seconds

Day 26 of the Year of Change Wrap Up

As I am some time today I have developed a HIIT programme I will be following across 5 levels, this looks great for growth, it was brutal but good. Each day does not always work out exactly as you plan, but its what you do with the hours you do plan that counts.
