My fitness diary for 26th February 2025: my arm and shadow punching challenge

It was a wonderful morning for me after a night rest. I woke up to get ready for my fitness routine. First, I did my work in the communities where I handle to ensure that put things in order. I woke up late no doubt because I was awake in the middle of the night for some duties.

By 6.24 am, I got up from bed and quickly arranged to go out. I went to the rest room and cleaned up including my teeth. Then I reached out to my outfit for the day and put on. Then, after family pleasantries, I zoomed off to the field where I saw some of my group members always jogging round the field, waiting for my arrival.

On arrival, I set the stage for the days program. I connected to Bluetooth so that I can play music that motivates us to workout. Then I beckoned on them to gather lets start the programs of the day.

Since I am handling fitness learning challenge, Iake sure that the programs for each week matches what to expect the next week. This is to say that ever since the learning challenge began, that is the current season, I give out programs in advance that will be taken the upper week. The current programs we are carrying out this week were dishes out to my clients last week. So the ones for next week is currently what we are carrying out this week.

I have out the programs and we all did it according to the repetitions I already prepared for the week. As soon as it was 8.05 am, we began playing football as usual. We paired ourselves and played 6 mean team members. My team won of course by 1:0. We played both first and second half and we really enjoyed it. It was fun.

Exhausted from both the programs for the day and football, I still went ahead to take on this challenge of arm circle and shadow boxing programs. I have done it severally but I really want to post it. After all, I also need to really show that I can do it.

I call on @bossj23 to help me record the video and pictures which he did with his own device, he edited it for me and sent it to me via WhatsApp.

We spent considerable time at that playground, chatting with the remaining ones who hadn't gone home. The likes of kidi40, Bernard, Abas, Benton3, bossj23. It was a wonderful moment well spent. Others did their own video challenge before we left. En route, I took the selfie below
