I have four weeks off from work now and have been reflecting a lot on an improved schedule for the rest of the year. I have been reading books about spending time in flow and will work on increasing activities that help with that, and I'm able to work 50 % from home now which helps with having the time for this.

I planned to try bouldering this morning but I have some weird pain in my left leg so waiting for that for a bit. I'm also getting an increase in toxins when I exercise more and especially heavy like the mountain bike or assault bike at the gym, so this is just my goal and not what I will do each week in the beginning. The yoga studio is close to where we live but with only very few classes until the middle of Aug, so haven't tried it yet.

Daily
Morning
Cold shower
7 min yoga most days
Reading a book
Sun exposure

Evening
Putting away screens 1 hour+ on weekdays
Massage gun, foam roller, etc if needed.

Weekly schedule
Monday
Gym
Nature walk near the office (might mix with 1-hour yoga instead later on)

Tuesday
Fasting until dinner
Epsom foot bath and low-level laser therapy
Mountainbike/bouldering/gym
Ir-sauna

Wednesday
1-hour yoga
Epsom foot bath and low-level laser therapy
Gym

Thursday
Epsom foot bath and low-level laser therapy
Mountainbike/bouldering/gym
Ir-sauna

Friday
Gym

Saturday
Time for nature

Sunday
Time for nature
I moved all the exercise away from the weekend to give me more time to spend in nature. Me and my girlfriend will take a lot of cold baths outside also.

If needed I will add another sauna session and/or some more Epsom foot baths.

Monthly schedule
A 2-day fast Sunday dinner – Tuesday dinner once each month.

I will only take treatment like Oil of oregano and Argentyn 23 if I have Covid exposure or any cold symptoms. Exercise and nature will be my standard treatment instead.

Thats some impressive scheduling!

Guess I land somewhere between wishful planning and spontaneous action. Im not always sure of my freetime ahead of time either though so I need flexibility.

For fitness: Remember you can only benefit from what your body can do that day. This will vary, I listen to my body.

I plan my workouts depending on how my body feels and outdoor weather changes - (if its outside). And I try to make it fun and adventurous when outside (different place, different routes).

Biking- This summer I started riding a more variety of bikes (was only riding three before, I have many styles) to get full hip movement. Riding a gear higher than normal changes muscle use too (but be careful with knee issues with high torque applications).

For people with one bike, changing the seat/post height will really change weight distribution, which is good when focusing on muscle. Changing the bike ergos will make repetitive motion wear/injuries less likely to happen too. Optimal seat height ("bike fit") is really for body/cardio endurance efficiency- not strength building.

Gym- I only "max out" at the gym when I'm having an odd "strong day" , and that can be surprisingly and spontaneously awesome. And then I take it easy for a while to rebuild days after.

Thanks. My work is quite flexible so I can start later some days and do a shorter session at the gym before I work. The longer workouts are during the day when I work at home. Without the flexibility, I wouldn’t be able to do all this during a week.

Had my first yoga session at the yoga studio today and it was great 😊 Small classes and friendly people. One of the reasons I'm trying yoga is to get to know more people and it seems to be a great place for that.

I find it funny that you “only” had three bikes before 😊 I only got one…

Clarification - I was only "regularly" riding three (of the many already in my stable) for anything longer than a 30 minute ride.

(As a bicycle geek/addict for 50 years, I prob shouldn't say how many I have here. It could be quite prestigious if this were a bike forum though (ha ha).)

Please tell me how many bikes you have 😊 If you don't want to write it here, send it in a pm.

I thought it before, but I think the yoga studio is going to be the final big piece of the puzzle for me, and I will likely aim for two sessions a week soon. The social aspects, the positives of yoga, and that they have collaboration with the bouldering gym where a lot of them climb. They are also interested in cold therapy, sauna, and other things that I do.

More time in flow during hobbies will lead to a lot more flow at work, especially as I can work from home 50 % and have fewer distractions.
