NARRATIVES
I WORE A WEIGHTED VEST AND STOOD ALL DAY…
So what was the first thing I noticed wearing a 25-pound weight vest all day? Well, I thought my shoulders would be sore, but after 20 minutes, I forgot I was even wearing it.
Then, a few hours later, my feet started aching—even though I was barefoot in my home office. It turns out that adding weight while using a standing desk is a sneaky foot workout!
By the end of the day, I expected to feel like a Crab Walk World Champion or at least an anime character shedding their training weights and unlocking superpowers… but nope. No instant transformation. Just a strong urge to sit more than usual, which isn’t like me.
Next time, I’ll test the vest on a hike. Standing all day is okay, but I’m interested in seeing what happens when I really put it to the test.
However, if you're interested in my structured flexibility plan, which is more thought-out than my weighted vest shenanigans, consider checking it out here.
STAY FLEXY,
David
MOVEMENT OF THE DAY
90/90 SWITCH
How to perform it:
Sit on the floor with one leg in front, bent at a 90-degree angle, and the other leg behind you at the same angle. Keep your torso upright and your hips evenly grounded. Slowly switch sides by rotating your legs while staying as controlled as possible.
Why it helps:
It improves hip mobility, supports knee health, and may help reduce lower back pain.
Watch me perform it here.
Quick Tips:
Keep knees bent at 90 degrees to avoid strain.
Sit tall—don’t lean forward.
Use props like yoga blocks if you can’t stay upright.
Pro Tip:
Breathe deeply and relax into the stretch for better results.
