I have a new job and have moved to a new city.
This has come with a lot of advantages, doing what I really want to do, having a garden and a garage which has become my own courage corner. One of the nicest things has been my commute. I no longer need to drive to work. Instead I have a 3km walk through some pretty nice leafy suburbs with some hills included. My hours are somewhat flexible so setting off early or late isn't too much of an issue.
Suddenly the effort to get my 10,000 steps a day in has disappeared. Even if I sat completely still at work (which I don't) I would hit this number.
So I have come up with the plan to load my walk to and from work, optimising my time so that I get some good aerobic work in with my commute. My current plan is to make up a 10kg weight and 2x5kgs out of cement/sandbags wrapped in duct tape (a la Rucking: What It Is and How to Do It ). I can see how I'm feeling each day and leave some weight at home or in my office if needed. Add this in to A+A snatches and a little bit of jump rope and I think I'll be on to a winner.
