A Valkyrie's quest to fly
Hello everyone, I'm back and so decided to make yet another check-in thread 
In the last couple of months I had to scale down my workouts due to being extremely tired, then I discovered I had anemia... I didn't give up on the challenges/program I was doing, I just did them at a much slower pace and intensity than expected. But better late than never, so I'm proud to say I finished my first Darebee program, Power-Up.
Now it's a new year (and I'm taking Iron supplements finally) so it's time to up the effort again (but not too much, recovering is important) and so I started a brand new program! The freshly released Zero Hero
I'm also doing 2 challenges firstly the Ninja challenge here on Darebee since I love these types of challenges (mostly because they sound cool tbh). And I'm doing a blogilates challenge with a friend of mine, the 2020 one. I want to build that everyday workout habit in her, and since she's a fan I suggested doing that for starters
Because I've been working out so little (and nothing at all some weeks) I've gotten a lot weaker, but I still have the same goals that I will want to actively pursuit once I'm more recovered:
5 min elbow Plank
1 pull-up
The pull up one specially will be my main goal, I've been talking about it for so long YET I STILL CAN'T DO IT. So I'll keep training for that goal.
Since I don't have space for chair pull-ups in the room I'm renting I need to find a park with bars. Meanwhile I'm gonna do some band exercises for the back muscles, just so I do something in that muscle group, but without pushing myself too hard. This Valkyrie will learn to fly!!
With that slightly chaotic introduction out of the way today I did:
Zero hero days 1 and 2 (lvl2)
Ninja challenge day 3 (I'm doing it on normal difficulty)
the blogilates 2020 day one exercises: 20 squats and 20 rope climbers (that's a fun twist on a sit up XD )
// I won't be making daily logs of my exercise in here but I'll try to post often (-ish)
