# Fitness log (rolling)

**Intent** — Track a few numbers consistently; ignore everything else until habits stick.

## This week

| Day | Activity | Duration | RPE (1–10) | Notes |
| --- | -------- | -------- | ---------- | ----- |
| Mon | Walk + mobility | 35 min | 3 | Felt stiff; hips tight |
| Tue | Strength (full body) | 45 min | 6 | Sleep was short |
| Wed | Easy bike | 30 min | 4 | Good recovery |

## Observations

- Morning sessions before coffee work better than after lunch.
- Right shoulder clicks on overhead press — reduce weight 10% next session.

## Targets (review monthly)

- Strength: **2×** per week minimum.
- Zone-2 cardio: **150+** minutes/week.
- Sleep: average **7h** (track separately).

Next check-in: **2026-05-01** — adjust volume or swap one walk for swim if pool hours work.
