This is a quick “catch-up video” to show you what I’ve been up to since the 15K race I ran back in August. After that race, I cut back on my running and shifted my focus toward functional fitness. Now I’m at the point where I want to reintroduce more running into that functional training—especially since I’m still struggling to fully dial in my diet.
So the big question is this: 👉 Can a 47-year-old computer guy who sits on his rump for 9 hours a day lose weight, get back in shape, and chase a version of his 35-year-old self? That’s the journey I’m on. Tune in, follow along, and drop your suggestions in the comments, especially when it comes to affordable gym equipment for home workouts. In today’s video, I break down two of the workout routines I’ve been completing. I run a randomized workout similar to these about 4 times per week.

* 30 × 24” Box + 10 lb Kettlebell Front-Mounted Carry (Up & Overs)
