Aaptiv has been great for me. Started it my last week on the project and have been on the bench for three weeks. Great way to instill good habits with daily activities that aren’t too strenuous. Good combination of one strength training workout, one intense cardio workout (I only chose two days to start), and then a mix of walking, mindful walking, stretching, yoga, and meditation. Highly recommend if you want to try and build something sustainable.

Watching World War Z, Contagion, and the Walking Dead. Gotta prepare.

It’s more difficult than I thought. No leaving computer sitting on in the corner, no sleep or hibernate. I make sure I shut it down it’s more of a mental thing than anything says to my mind you are done for the day, not just will put it to sleep and come back later. Silly I know but try it.

If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat
