·I have been jogging since 2015. I have always been very bad at drinking enough water, generally speaking, and while jogging.
As the weather has begun to warm up, this year I decided I would make an effort to drink between 2 and 3 liters of water a day during working hours.
The difference it has made, has been remarkable. My runs feel much easier, I am sweating less and I am eating less.
Of course I have always known that it is important to stay hydrated, but never really put it into practice until now. Oh well, better late than never.

·Fitness is a pretty big part of my lifestyle. Pre-pandemic I was training to compete in a power lifting competition (all natural) plus played tennis regularly to keep nimble and cardio added.
Pandemic hit, gyms shut down, lost 25 lbs. Did what I could with the little we had at home, but it was mostly cardio/bands/calisthenics. Could not retain the muscle
Since life returned to normal, I have been slowly working my way back. Hit my goals on press/ohp/squat, work left on dl. Unsure if I will hit the dl goal. More disciplined on how I eat and watching the waist, it does make strength gain more difficult.
Also play basketball or swim 3-4 days/week and have started to add some short yoga routines in again recently

·I've been using exercise bikes a few times a week, and it makes a big difference, especially when the weather’s bad. I throw on some music or a podcast, and the time goes by pretty fast. It’s low impact, so easier on the knees than running, but still gets the heart rate up. Definitely helps keep things balanced alongside strength training.

So much easier on the knees than many cardio alternatives!

·I'm still just lifting heavy 2-3 times a week, powerlifting style. My work also has me lugging moderately heavy stuff around 1-2 days a week on average. Add to that, a lot of time spent running around with my kid and some time on the rower.
I'm lifting at about 85-90% of my peak competition years, and I'm not sure I'll hit a true PR again, but I'm happy that I can still overhead press my bodyweight in my 40s.
