12/04/2019, 10:01 AMI was struggling with going to gym so I dedicated every day before 11am to Health (I wake up at 9). I don’t expect myself to do any work in that time. Drawing this light boundary helps me get the gym done since I have nothing else to do.

12/04/2019, 10:04 AMThat helps as well. However I am following 5x5 which doesn’t require a personal trainer. I also don’t like how personal trainers train in India. 6 days a week and too many exercises each day. Whereas all international trainers only suggest 3-4 days per week, and that too max 5-6 exercise per workout.

12/04/2019, 10:07 AMLocal trainers also suggest 3x10 for all exercises whereas international trainers are like 4x6, 5x5. Number of sets and reps vary depending on the exercise.

This is unsustainable long term. If 3 days a week, 1 hr a day can deliver same results or allow one to continue long-term, ideally for life, I would very much take that.

12/05/2019, 6:36 PMI had to go to my hometown so I stopped doing it. I have resumed it recently. But still in the earlier weeks. 45kg squat. What do you mean by sharing spreadsheet and notes?
