Thanks!
FITCHECK! I did leg day two days ago. Today is a push day, with biking for at least 9 miles or more
Fitcheck! I swam laps last night instead of biking for about 45 minutes, lost track of how far I went.
PS: anyone utilize fitness tracking through apple watch or anything similar? Weighing my options...

I've got a Fitbit and used to have a Samsung tracker. They both have their pros and cons.
I track my workouts in my Apple Watch. It tends to use up a lot of the battery though. I like it well enough and it give me stats on my times and frequency and such. I don’t really use it to track calories burned but it amuses me.

I'd always rather sleep in, but I'm managing dragging my ass to the gym anyway. 
Working out wherever to do is a win-win. I’m spoiled; I do it at home, I alternate calisthenics days with weight days, my weights are tiny so I don’t have to worry about equipment yet. We used to go to local YMCA to swim and play on the machines but when Covid hit we had to find at home alternatives.I'd always rather sleep in, but I'm managing dragging my ass to the gym anyway.
I pay for a gym and a trainer because I'm more likely to go if it costs me money. 
Makes perfect sense!I pay for a gym and a trainer because I'm more likely to go if it costs me money.
So I have been walking every day since 9-26. Omg I am feeling so good.. wow.. I did substitute a cut the grass for walking.. but the numbers were close.. that’s Mondays grass cutting.. I think the Apple Watch information is neat.. I hope to match yesterday’s walking with the 3.5 miles twice around the lake.. I could add a side loop at the end if I feel good.. uphills.. the elevation gain is really high usually but cutting the grass was all the same level..
After a month(!) of being sick, I went back to the gym on Monday and did 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Last Wednesday and Saturday, I did 30 minutes on the treadmill. Last night, I tried to get back to my normal routine.
