In two of my previous posts (200 Days of running still going and Spartan Virtual race – 2020), I mentioned how I use Zoom to conduct fitness workouts with my friends.

Have you joined a Strava challenge, completed it and was waiting for your Trophy but never received it? This happened to me a few times so I gave up and didn’t join any further challenges until my son Jayden worked out what the problem was. He too is on Strava and he completed the 5 […]
Almost a year ago, I purchased a pull/chin-up bar and wanted to install somewhere in my garage. Yes, it was almost a year and I didn’t get a chance to install it but to be honest I have been avoiding this task since I knew how much effort was involved in installing the chin-up bar […]
Do you use a running belt? Hate it how the belt bounces up and down and it makes the belt lose? Do you have to tighten it several times during your run? I’ve had this happened to me a few times and I finally managed to find a belt that pretty much stopped the bouncing […]
For those of you who were not aware, in Sydney we are currently experiencing a number of bushfires across NSW and most states and Australia.

If your Samsung Health is no longer synching with Strava, check to make sure they are still connected.

I’m not sure if this is the best way to Synch your runs from Samsung Health (I use a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier) to Strava but it seemed to have worked. I was originally synching the data between Google Fit and Strava since the runs synched between Google Fit and Samsung Health but there were […]

In November I was involved in a burpee challenge, where our group decided to aim to complete 1400 burpees for that month. For those of you who don’t know what a burpee is, then had a look at this video. It strengths all parts of the body and it’s like doing a pushup with a […]
Yes, I still go to the gym. When I recently visited the gym I had to take this photo of a dumbbell. Now I know what’s in a dumbbell – just raw metal. Also this week, I ended up attending a workout class called “Cardio Burst”. From the name you can tell there were cardio […]
A few days ago I used a Health Kiosk at Liverpool Hospital to check my health. It was free and I thought it would be interesting to see how my health was. I’m not sure how accurate it was but I seem to be doing OK with my health. The Kiosk asked for a few […]

This might be the last favour we do. Let me explain. A friend asked us to be the middle man ie reseller for one if their friend’s company since they needed To but several laptops. We agreed (everything was legal) since it was a friend… But since then this small job has turned to be […]

Did two workout sessions. My wife thinks I’m a gym junkie for doing two work out but I see it as an opportunity to get healthy – especially when I now have a bit more time. My kids go to Chinese school in the afternoon and instead of just waiting or going home, I decided […]
