club walks

 I could never really figure out how to interleave work and physical conditioning. ( I know lots of people who can. )

- Around 2005/6 when I started work,  bought a 15kg dumbbell set. It worked while I had a routine. But I didn't use it a ton.

- I tried using the gym at a bank where I worked once. Tried cycling to work too. Neither was an optimal experience.

- Later I signed up for a 3-year membership at a gym when those became available in Malaysia ... the gym switched policies on me halfway, so I stopped going.

- At some point, I tried doing manual labour to see if combining work and exercise was better. The exercise was great - the pay, not so much.

- Around 2023 I finally went back to spreadsheets and decided to rebuild my diet from the ground up.

- In 2025 I started walking with weights ... the old dumbbells? Weights on one side only, so they handle like clubs. This feels balanced, and it seems to stimulate the fingers and arms sufficiently. I'll see how long I can keep this up.
