Running back home from work, twice a week. I started this last year and it's great ! I have ~13kms which I cover in a bit more than 1h. That's only 10 minutes more than using the public transport and let me tell you that it's much more enjoyable ! I Highly recommend !

How long have you been doing crossfit?? I did it for about 4 months before getting injured, my shoulder still hurts me to this day and that was 4 years ago.
TBH my commitment level varies but when I am committed to getting in serious shape, it's now my go to thing. I agree that you definitely need to be really careful / mindful about avoiding injuries.

#27I bought fractional Olympic weight plates to help me when I plateaued. Recently tried creatine, and that was a nice boost (10% increase in most lifts), but the side effects weren't worth it.

#28My wife and I bought a stationery bike and a mountain climber and at least I have committed 10-20 minutes a day, to the best of my ability, on each.
What’s a mountain climber?
