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)
