Re: Polyglot Fitness Challenge 2021

I didn't meet the fitness goals I set a month ago completely but I'm still satisfied with my progress. I had to skip 2 days altogether and did not manage the 15 minutes for stretching on most days. But I did stretch much more than usual and I can see progress with several poses/exercises. I worked out for 20 minutes on average but I didn't restrict myself to the daily challenges from Darebee. There was too much jumping involved and I don't want to annoy my neighbours.
Regarding my language goals I could have done more. I did read some stories and learned some dozen Hanzi but I'm not too impressed with my own effort regarding this challenge.
For February I'll adjust my goals a bit.
Stretch every day and work on 2 poses: butterfly and forward fold. I'd love to be able to put my knees on the ground in butterfly pose but this won't happen in February. I should at least be able to see some improvements at the end of the month. In forward fold I can touch my toes with my knuckles. So that's my starting point. We'll see how far I can get.
For strength I've chosen some 30-day challenges and I simply intend to do all of them every day and an extra workout if possible.
My goal for Heisig is finishing chapter 16 and for DuChinese it's simply reading one story per day.
