Hey
Hearty!
1. Oh yes, with exercise, getting started is always the hardest part for me.
2. Ah of course, for some silly reason I thought you were doing your strength intervals in the park in your down jacket.

Sounds good. I do fine with bridge, but struggle with proper plank for any real length of time.
3. Good idea. I should try the lift gloves for class, so I can keep up.
4. Seasoned fitness buff? Hardly.

I went to a gym and got a personalized program around 20 years ago. Since then, pretty sedentary until about six months ago. Then I got serious about my health and using it to help with my depression. So I asked around and did some research.
And I don't know about the web site as a whole. I'm not really into actual "bodybuilding" myself. I honestly haven't gotten around to checking it all out. But the article and video seemed like one of the better ones I found regarding wrist strengthening. Please feel free to share anything useful you find.
I hope you have a good day.
