Another Day in Early Retirement

Today was a beautiful day. I started by waking up after a nice sleep in (7am, I normally get up around 6am) had breakfast and then I rode my bike to the gym for my daily workout.

I had some more to eat and then decided to ride down to the beach as it was such a beautiful, sunny day. I laid in the sun for a bit and went for a swim.

When I got home I decided to do a bit of "work", so I completed some of an assignment that I'm working on for my Advanced Diploma

Shoulders Workout at the Gym

One of my biggest hobbies is going to the gym, or bodybuilding. It's something that I've been into a long time. I enjoy watching fitness Youtubers such as the Hodge Twins and Physiques of Greatness/Pump Chasers.

The only downside of having bodybuilding as a hobby is that it doesn't take enough time! Generally half an hour to an hour at the gym most days and that's it, so it can't be your only hobby or you won't have anything to do for most of the day!

Today I got up and had breakfast, no work of course, took some creatine and WPC (Whey Protein Concentrate), watched a couple of fitness youtube videos to get motivated and then rode to the gym. Most people, and I mean at least 90% of people, drive their cars to the gym. My opinion on that is that it is pretty stupid. You either need to find a gym that's closer to your home or stop being so God damn lazy! I like 1.5km from the gym so it takes less that 5 minutes to ride and burns about 50 calories each way. If I was wanting to do cardio at the gym (I don't, I'd rather go for a ride) then this directly cuts down the amount of time I would need to spend on a cardio machine.

Some people would literally be better off
