I did strength training in gyms for the past 56 years , but I more or less lost the motivation to go this year . I mostly did basic exercises benchpress , squats , pull ups etc . . I also went running a lot and was quite good at it , but I got myself a strained achilles tendon while running in bad shoes at the beginning of this year and was not able to get it off me yet despite attempts at physio , self training and osteopathy I can do most things now , but not running . Also I go 34 times a week to my HEMA club , so there is not so much time left to do other stuff work , relationship , catz . But also I startied going to a boulder centre nearby once a week with a friend just four weeks ago , I hope I can keep it up . it ' s fun and a great training for strength coordination ! however , I feel like it ' s not so good for my achilles ' either P . Another plan of mine is to go swimming before work more often , but the pain figuratively this time of getting up earlier and jump into water . brr .
