    There! Then I am on again. My every other weekly Saturday workout between 10 and 12 am. One hour of strength training and one hour of pulse training. It is deluxe to go for exercise in a comfortable temperature outdoors. No extra jacket. No gloves or hat. The bike lock does not need to be defrosted. Everything becomes so much easier.

    Sathurday routine.

    I really should have gone to the gym. Tomorrow I will. I am trying to teach myself some new routines. These machines that are so popular. Always a lot of people going to the gym. I made my first step this spring, and now I am getting help from an expert on the subject. I know that muscle mass decreases with age, and since I want to live an active life, it was only natural to start strength training.

    After a few training sessions, I was surprised at how out of breath I got from a strength exercise. I needed a few minutes to catch my breath before the next muscle group was trained. Of course, I wanted to delve deeper into the theory, and now I am reading about strength training. Strangely, I always want a theoretical background regardless of the subject. In this case, strength training.

    Now my goal is to improve my muscle strength by the New Year. I have a few months. Let’s see if I manage to get out of my comfort zone. I like to train to music, and here is some of Agnes’ energy.

    Time to wake up!

  • Medicine balls 💊

    So many difficult things are happening in the world right now. In these times, it is nice to go into my little training bubble. Sit-ups with imaginary medicine balls and leaders who say: “add more weights – if you fail, you just take it off”. And good music to go with it!

    TGIF Strength training

    The Revolutionary Guard headquarters in Tehran was destroyed in Iran. Martyrdom is sacred in the Middle East. The large crowd leads. A mindset that I will never really understand, but which is very important in this context. I remember Lebanon to get a perspective. An Iranian ship was sunk by the American Marines very close to my friend´s Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.

    No democratic opposition has been able to take over naturally. Iran now lives in a polarized society with different wills. Interestingly, France, the UK, and Germany immediately showed that they support the USA. This is on a level that we ordinary people do not know, but the military intelligence service is one step ahead without us knowing. Similar to when a lot of countries knew that Ukraine would be attacked by Russia long in advance. What Sweden’s intelligence service does is secret.

    My other little bubble is my thought bubble. I am currently writing about how monoaminergic transmission inspired me to write my book, ´Generations´. The theme of ´Generations´was the opposite of war, much like this song to my American 🇺🇸  family who fancy Paris. Also, Dogma-Denmark 🇩🇰 inspired, I think. I am learning Spanish right now, similar to this, with Duolingo 🇪🇸.

    Stay safe 🐾
