Exercise

I try to exercise between 3 and 5 times a week. I try to separate between goals and expectations so that I can always reach for something hard to do.

Flexibility

I started working on flexibility far too late, but it is an awesome way of doing quick workouts at home.

Kettlebell

I love working out with Kettlebells and feel like they have been a way for me to efficiently and effectively push out quick but strong workouts. The swing is one of my favourite exercises.

Spark The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain

Spark is basically about how exercise is good for your brain as well as your body. Most of the book tells in allegories how exercise helps people become more focused and that by stopping exercising we are losing out on important functions for the brain as well as the body.

Strength Training

I started strength training when I was 17, and did some on and off until I was 19. From 19 to 24, I consistently worked out between 3 and 5 days a week. I did a lot of failing and needed a lot of guidance during that period. First of all, I started with only upper body exercises and neglected to work out my legs for quite a while. I think this was because I was not flexible enough to do the squat exercises correctly. In hindsight, it is difficult to assess in hindsight what the causation for the lack of leg exercises, but I am certain the lack of flexibility made doing leg workouts quite a bit difficult.
