[qrfit]

Day 5 of 5 day workout week:

It’s Friday! 🙌🏽 I made it! So did you! I feel like we all deserve a pat on the back for getting here and working on ourselves in the process. I decided to reward myself with a ride in the Ferris-wheel at our local fair! (See above and below!) But first, I had to put in the work! So…

-I did a full body strength training routine with a dumbbell weight range of 8-12 lbs. Using a dynamic range of motion, I ran through compound exercises and add on static moves. No resistance bands this time. But, I did use the ankle weights for additional leg work.

-I capped off my week with a low-medium impact cardio HIIT routine. I put in 40 minutes, but put in additional minutes of stretching from all of the impact of the week.

Total calorie burn = 429 kcals 🎡

I did end the week on a strong note! 💪🏽 Time for a couple of rest days, some meal prep, and muscle recovery. 🫶🏽

I did NOT spend five fucking years breaking my back and my brain getting a degree in this for people to say that musical theatre is corny and useless and inherently shameful.

which is worse, twilight or 50 shades of grey

Oh 100% 50 shades. I might have a bias given the twilight special interest, but I think even without my bias 50 shades is infinitely worse. It's literally like. twilight but without the vampires (and much hornier). like??? why would you not want the vampires!! if you're gonna write something horny vampires are so much fun for that

I will concede perhaps if you read 50 shades without having read twilight, it might fare better in your mind. but I have read twilight, and all I can see when reading 50 shades is how reliant it is on Twilight. It has the same characters (though some of them are a little switched/altered), but it also literally has the same plot.

In both, MC (Bella, Anastasia) meets a man who she's very attracted to (Edward, Christian) but is telling her to stay away from him, turns out he has a dark secret (is a vampire, is a sadist), they fall in love anyways. They break up after one book, leaving everyone shells of themselves until they get back together. They're being stalked by an unstable grieving individual who may hurt them (Victoria, Leila), MC is threatened to do something (come to a location, give money) because an individual important to them has been kidnapped (Renee, Mia). MC accidentally gets pregnant and Love Interest reacts poorly/isn't happy about it, but MC is fiercely protecting of unborn child.

I just. It's like when writing 50 shades EL James had a checklist of twilight plot points she was going through for her own novels. Which is like...yeah, you can do that, but the story doesn't stand on its own then. Like it's a little much at this point

And some of the qualities transferred over from one setting to another just...don't work the same. Like the post I made earlier about how Christian's anger and threats don't hit the same because he's literally just human. Yes, he's struggled with anger, but he's still human. Edward's a vampire. He can make much more important and impactful threats, and the threat of being near him is much more potent than being a sadist.

Anyway, point is I think, even taking into account my bias, that twilight's better. Because the characters and plot used in both were designed for Twilight. Everything fits and flows better, AND it's got vampires and werewolves. But this is only my opinion, so others may disagree :)

Why is fitness important?

Fitness is important because it is essential for maintaining both physical and mental health.

Micro workouts -- As effective as hours in the gym.

As a former U.S. Air Force member, I can tell you from experience that physical fitness is crucial for optimal performance and enhancing daily life.

The discipline I developed in the military laid a foundation for prioritizing fitness. Whether working on aircraft or homeschooling my children, staying physically fit has allowed me to keep up with the challenges life throws my way. Fitness is more than just looking good; it is about having the stamina and strength to live a fulfilling and active life.

One of the primary reasons fitness is vital is its role in preventing chronic diseases.

Regular exercise significantly lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and certain cancers. As someone who has spent years in high-pressure environments, I’ve seen firsthand how physical activity helps maintain the body and mind. Studies show that regular exercise can lower the risk of heart disease by up to 35%.

This makes it an invaluable part of any long-term health strategy, particularly for those like me who balance various roles, from parenting to preaching.

Physical fitness also plays a significant role in mental well-being. Exercise releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones that can improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Daily exercise has often been my sanctuary, where I can clear my mind and recharge my spirit. This is especially relevant for single parents like myself, who can feel overwhelmed by the stresses of balancing multiple roles.

Exercise provides a natural, healthy outlet for that stress, making it easier to focus on the things that matter most.

Fitness can boost your energy levels for anyone managing a busy life, like homeschooling and work.

I’ve noticed how staying active directly impacts my ability to stay productive throughout the day. Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health, meaning your heart and lungs work more efficiently. For example, when I play disc golf or engage in other outdoor activities with my kids, my endurance allows me to keep up, making those experiences even more rewarding.

This improvement in energy levels leads to better focus and greater enthusiasm for tackling daily responsibilities.

Fitness is also a critical factor in weight management.

As someone who enjoys physical activities like disc golf and fishing, I’ve found that staying active helps me maintain a healthy weight and metabolism. Regular exercise increases calorie burn, essential whether you want to lose weight or maintain a healthy one. But it’s not just about the calories—it’s about building muscle and improving endurance, which allows you to stay active without getting fatigued easily.

For example, incorporating strength training and cardiovascular exercises into your routine can help with long-term weight control, especially when paired with a balanced diet.

Another key aspect of fitness is how it contributes to longevity.

Numerous studies indicate that people who engage in regular physical activity tend to live longer, healthier lives. This holds whether you're working a desk job or leading a more physically demanding lifestyle, as I did in the military. Regular exercise reduces the risk of premature death by keeping your organs and muscles functioning optimally.

The ability to stay active and mobile as one ages enhances life expectancy and quality of life, allowing one to enjoy activities like spending time outdoors with family well into old age.

For parents, especially those homeschooling, fitness is an excellent opportunity to teach children valuable life lessons.

Incorporating physical activity into homeschooling routines promotes a healthy lifestyle from a young age. I’ve seen how my kids benefit from staying active, not only physically but also academically, as regular movement improves concentration and brain function. We often engage in activities like family hikes, fitness and bonding experiences.

Teaching children the importance of fitness at an early age sets them up for a lifetime of healthy habits and a better understanding of the body’s capabilities.

Beyond physical health, fitness fosters a sense of discipline and self-esteem.

Growing up, fitness wasn’t always on my mind, but once I joined the Air Force, it became an essential part of my identity. Regular exercise instills discipline—something that I’ve carried into my professional life and parenting. The confidence that comes from physical achievement translates to other areas of life, such as tackling work projects or leading a congregation in a sermon.

Fitness is a powerful tool for anyone looking to improve themselves holistically. It builds mental and physical resilience.

Fitness is vital not just for the body but also for the mind and spirit.

It significantly prevents chronic diseases, improves mental health, boosts energy levels, and increases longevity. As a single father, former pastor, and military veteran, I have seen firsthand how fitness can improve every aspect of life, from parenting to professional responsibilities. The journey to fitness doesn’t have to be complicated; it can be as simple as incorporating daily walks, family activities, or personal fitness goals.

Ultimately, prioritizing fitness sets the stage for a healthier, more fulfilled life for yourself and your loved ones.
