a current study shows that walking (5001-7500 steps per day) significantly reduces tau-protein accumulation in the brain associated with slower cognitive decline

I've been getting back into rock climbing lately, and currently I continue working on my longterm goal of an unassisted one arm pull-up.

Dunno how to correctly upload a video file...

So I did a thing in January.
I started training again on my rowing machine a couple of years ago, mainly driven by the goal of weight loss. Tried to be consistent, but fell into old habits last winter.
Picked it up stronger than before after the summer holidays, with the goal of actually being competitive again.
Currently taking part in a competition, and was also fueled be a virtual challenge on the Concept 2 app. Trained every single day in January, with greatly improved times. Finished off with a half marathon yesterday.
Will take it slower in February, but I am thinking about stepping up from my usual 10k to a 15k session.

@tody Congrats and keep it going!

[tody]

thanks guys. current plan is to keep it at 20-25 sessions per month, at extended duration. with 15k i'm around the 1 hour mark. weight loss goal is 3-4 more kilos, to get just under 90kg.
