Switch it up
I haven’t made a New Year’s Resolution in years. That’s not because I’ve already given up smoking, drinking, unhealthy food and who knows what else. Nor is it that I see no improvements I could make.
No, it’s because there’s a rule that says resolutions must be made during the first minute of January first and I can’t stay up that late.

One thing I need no resolve to accomplish is exercise. That I will do always, and have done so for years. This past year, Apple Fitness+ was my thang, and it is fun and effective, but it has been getting a little boring, so this year I’m returning to doing my own exercises and using Apple Fitness as a fill-in when I don’t reach my daily goal.
Why wouldn’t I reach my goal? Because to avoid boredom, I schedule a number of sets for every three days, some every other day, and a few daily. This means any given day is a surprise for me as some of the three days match up with the every other days, all added to the ever days, and this conflation makes an exhausting workout.
