I’m currently staying in Japan, and I’ve realized once again that autumn is the best season. Summer is way too hot, and winter is incredibly cold, so if you’re coming to Japan, autumn is definitely the best time to visit.
This morning, the temperature was 12°C, which is pretty chilly for October. Just a few days ago, it was warm enough to wear short sleeves, but suddenly it got cold. I need to be careful not to catch a cold.
By 5:30 PM, it’s already dark, and the nights feel really long. I’m truly enjoying autumn in the mornings as well.
Since I bought my Garmin smartwatch, I’ve been able to keep up with my gym routine.
Today, I completed a workout focusing on my back, biceps, shoulders, and abs. When I work out alone, I tend to hold back a bit, but I’d rate myself an 80 out of 100.
I’m always a bit easy on myself!
The Garmin Connect app is pretty awesome. If I set up my training menu on my phone in advance, I can transfer it to my smartwatch.
This way, I can record my workout details like weight and reps directly on the smartwatch, which is great. If I touch my phone during my workout, I end up getting distracted by social media and stuff.
