Exercise:

My Religion

Went in the morning later than usual being a Sunday. On reaching the gym found out it was closed. Surprised. Luckily, carried the Anytime Fitness card so went there for lifting.

10 min treadmill walk and run. Then went to do Triceps.    4 sets of Rope Push down lightweight. 4 sets of Triceps extension lightweight. 4 sets of Triceps kickback. Then went for Rehab.

Rehab has been going well, but I still get lower back pain after moderate weight lifting. I had chest day before yesterday. The exercises were on an incline bench. Still, I had back pain all day despite maintaining proper form and not going too heavy on the bar.

So there is a puzzle still unsolved on the injury part. I need to research more and do some extra routines to get better.

After the gym, I came out and saw that Fit 7 was open now. Apparently, it opens at 9 A.M on Sundays. Happily, went to do what I had come for - a Steam bath.

Steam bath feels great. It even has physiological benefits for it enhances the growth hormones. I enjoy it as it relaxes the body and removes impurities from the skin.

Zone 2-3 Training:

The range of Heartrate between 110-145 bpm which is good for cardiovascular health. I note it down through my Garmin watch analysis of the workouts. (180 minutes per week target)

5 mins. 17 mins for the whole week. <10% of the weekly target. Sucks.

Meditate:

5 minutes of practice to start with       

Went to Bangla Sahib Gurudwara. Felt peaceful as I listened to Shabad Kirtan. Saw the Bhai Baghel Singh Museum on Sikh History.

Influence Book:

Book by Robert Cialdini. Want to go slow to internalize the concepts

0 pages. I will pick it up this week.

Homework for life:

A daily practice to capture important events of the day that made an impact on you; that can form a story.

 Saw the Gay congregation at C.P today. They stare at you and make you uncomfortable. I feel little uneasy. Wife has different perspective. They have a right to express and stare. Let them. 

Weight:

Daily monitoring to track my eating habits and goals.

Not done. Too lousy.

Push-ups:

Just to have an everyday pump

22

Kegel:

For a strong pelvic muscle floor.

Nope

Calves:

To grow these minions

40 (30 Seated + 10 Standing)

Write:

To take forward a passion not realized

Blog

Mewing:

Just a fad maybe. To breathe better; for a visible jawline

As I write this

One Podcast:

Podcasts to learn and grow. Utilize Travel time

Nothing

Flossing:

Remove Plaque, prevent cavities

Done in Morning

Brush at Night:

Needs no description

Index funds: How they can be a better instrument over Mutual Funds

  Over the years I have got exposed to the idea of Index Funds through reading some books and following the advice of celebrity investors on social media.  An index fund is a type of mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to replicate the performance of a specific market index, such as the S&P 500 in the U.S., the FTSE 100 in London, or the Sensex 30 or Nifty 50 in India.  Unlike the actively managed funds, which rely on the expertise of fund managers to select individual stocks, index funds passively track the composition and performance of an underlying index. Now the question arises what is an Index? An Index is a benchmark for evaluating the performance of an investment portfolio. In India, we have 2 major Indices- Sensex 30 and Nifty 50. In Sensex 30, we have the top 30 companies by market cap (Share price X No. of shares) listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, and for Nifty 50 it is the top 50 companies by market cap listed on the National Stock Exc...

One who agrees against his will, Is of the same opinion still !

Compliance refers to the act of following instructions or conforming to the expectations or demands of others. It is an important concept in psychology and child development as it relates to how individuals, particularly children, respond to authority figures and social norms. Compliance can occur due to various reasons, including a desire to avoid punishment, gain rewards, or seek approval from others. To understand the practical outcomes of compliance tactics, Jonathan Freedman, a social psychologist conducted an experiment involving school boys to assess their compliance to directions to not do a certain activity. The direction in this regard was to not play with a particularly attractive toy and different samples of school boys were given directions in different ways. In the first leg of the experiment, Freedman invited the boys one at a time into the experiment room and presented them with 5 toys to play with. However, he gave a command to the child to not play with an attract...

Think before you say something, it may be hard to retract- the fallacy of Consistency Bias

  The Korean War was a conflict that took place on the Korean Peninsula from 1950 to 1953. It began on June 25, 1950, when North Korea, supported by the Soviet Union and China, invaded South Korea. The war stemmed from the division of Korea after World War II, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the United States occupying the south. In the conflict, many American soldiers were taken Prisoner of War (POW) in the Chinese camps. The Chinese treated these soldiers differently than their North Korean allies who were brutal in their tactics to solicit compliance from the POWs. The Chinese followed a compliance tactic through commitment garnered from American soldiers by making them write marginally anti-American things about America and marginally good things about Communism. But how did they achieve this? They set on a path of staggered compliance by committing soldiers to their own confessions. What were these confessions about? The Chinese used to force American soldier...
