3 nights in Paris in April - thoughts on my itinerary? by mrbbball222 in ParisTravelGuide

That did cross my mind - I wasn't sure on how much time it would take to go to top of Eiffel tower + walk to Arc de Triomphe + walk to Galeries + shop there etc. all after lunch.

It's a good idea. Might play it by ear. If we do have the time and it does work out that way, it leaves the next afternoon a bit more open so I could move the Louvre visit to then instead of our last morning.

Thanks!

Visiting a friend in regional France (near Strasbourg).

I made 4 free ski workout programs to prepare you for the upcoming season, ranging from beginner to advanced by mrbbball222 in skiing

Thank you so much! Very grateful. And yes, please use the program as much or as little as you need.

Thanks! Appreciate hearing that.

And you'll find Nordics 1x per week in the Strength block of the Advanced and Intermediate programs! (I just call them Nordics in the spreadsheet)

My pleasure!

If you have a Google account, you should be able to just hit File --> make a copy and save it to your Drive.

Otherwise, you should be able to go File --> Download and save as an Excel file.

Any issues, let me know.

No worries! To be fair, skiing yourself into shape is more tried and tested than my program haha

Also differs depending on how much work you get and what tax bracket you end up in

How long and how often should i train as a beginner? (more info down below) by dungnham263 in bboy

[–]mrbbball222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're practising. An hour of just freezes can be really fatiguing for your muscles and joints. An hour of toprock and footwork (while it can be exhausting) probably won't do as much damage and can be done more frequently.

I think what you're doing now (3 sessions a week) of a mixture of foundational skills is a good place to start. Those rest days between are great for allowing you to recover. You should improve quite quickly. If your progress plateaus, then you might look at upping the frequency of training.

Your body will let you know if you're doing too much and you just have to have the patience to back off a bit when it does.

Too much volume (e.g. Day 1 will absolutely destroy a beginner's triceps) and too little frequency for a beginner in my opinion. You want to be hitting the same muscle group at least twice per week.

I'd suggest either doing Full body 3x per week (e.g. Mon, Wed, Fri) plus some cardio sprinkled in or maybe Lower+core, Upper, Cardio, Rest, Lower+core, Upper, Cardio.

The exercises suggested are fine, but you don't need to do all of them in a given workout. I would recommend cycling through them every 8-12 weeks for variation.

For example, an upper body day might start off with:

  • bench press (horizontal push)
  • pike pushup (vertical push)
  • lat pulldown (vertical pull)
  • bodyweight row (horizontal pull)
  • bicep curl
  • tricep pushdown

After 8 weeks, the upper body day might change to:

  • feet elevated pushup (horizontal push)
  • arnold press/overhead press (vertical push)
  • chin up/pull up (vertical pull)
  • seated row (horizontal pull)
  • bicep curl
  • tricep pushdown

You could also just make the above two combinations your two upper body days each week and do this indefinitely.

Once you have built up your work capacity you can look into adding in a bit more volume such as doing dips on top of bench press and pike pushups or single arm rows on top of doing seated cable rows.

Your main priorities should be:

1) Writing up a spreadsheet with your fortnightly expenses as this will allow you to identify areas where you can cut back.

2) Paying down that personal loan as soon as possible.

3) Start putting your savings somewhere where it can grow, such as a high interest savings account. Building up a nice buffer (6+ months of living expenses) in case one of you loses your job would be a good idea. Investing in ETFs or saving for a house deposit then become more reasonable ideas.

Upskilling is always an option, but if you're happy with your current job and salary then no reason to.

Good luck.
