I've started to do the breathing technique recommended by Wim Hof. I do it lying down in bed to energize myself for the day.

Then I do pushups and crunches. Today I lost count while doing crunches, and I did an extra 10.

The breathing gives me strength and endurance to do these exercises.

He also recommends cold showers, starting out with 15 seconds of cold water at the end of a normal shower and gradually increasing the time. I just cannot do that, but I can splash cold water on my face, hair, forearms with no problem.

Well my jog didn’t happen this morning, I was on a very rare night out with my colleagues last night which involved some alcohol, and a lot of dancing and singing - I’m therefore claiming the dancing as exercise lol. I was taken aback by how much my colleagues drank! I drank only two small beers and I still feel groggy this morning, no way could I have drunk that much.

So my challenge today is to get a bit of movement into my day. Feeling a little fragile right now though.
