Walking through HorsePower for kids

Horsepower for Kids

We went back to the sanctuary that Patricia the duck we rescued was staying at for the one year anniversary and I did a video walk through the place. Horsepower is devoted to the rescue and rehabilitation of sick, injured, and/or orphaned Florida wildlife species. Animals are provided with diagnoses and services.

Her swimming area got a little bigger.
She stayed outside in this cage until we took her to Horsepower

Pictures of food with my Samsung S21 Ultra.

A year ago, I did a post where I posted pictures and videos of food taken with my Samsung S20 Ultra. These new pictures and videos are with my Samsung S21 Ultra. I would like to know if anyone sees a difference in the pictures. All pictures and video are taken on the fly with no special adjustments to the camera or filters added.

We do eat a variety of foods from diverse cultures. My previous post showed my workouts and I do not talk about nutrition. My only advice on nutrition or eating is do not overindulge and do not eat fast food often. I love eating and my wife cooks great plus we eat out frequently. I take a lot of pictures of my food when we go out and post it on Google reviews. My photos on Google has gotten more the 33 million views and all done with my Samsung phone.

I have over thirty-three million photo views on Google reviews.

Air squats for cardio

My substitute for running is air squats

Air squats are my go-to for cardio since I injured my heel, I have not been able to run. We do one hundred air squats during our 2.5-mile walk. We stopped at the lake on the way back and after walking about 2 miles. After the air squats we continue our walk, which is about a half a mile.

1000 Air squats at home

The video below is me doing air squats at home. I was supposed to work out my legs with my dumbbells, but I was tired, so I decided to make it a light day and do cardio at the same time. I got this idea for doing air squats a long time ago from a UFC fighter named Ken Shamrock. He was one of my favorites back in the early days of UFC. Shamrock stated that for cardio he did 500 air squats a day. I was in shape back in those days so when I tried to do the 500 air squats, I was able to do them after one week. The video below is me doing me air squatting at home as a substitute for leg day and to get cardio in. I did 1000 air squats below in my bedroom filming it with my Samsung S21 Ultra. I apologize for the background noise and any interruptions.

My Workout Update 2/9/2022

Working out my first 2 weeks

It’s been 2 weeks since I got serious about my working out. I did my at home workout at least 12 times so far. I started on January 26th, 2022 and took a video of my first workout. Please excuse the amateur video, background sound and interruptions. I will get better at these videos. These videos are for my tracking and to see my progress. I will be mixing up different exercises and using a pill up bar with dumbbells for my workout.

Walking a few times, a week for fat loss

Walking is my go-to exercise to burn additional calories. I walk with my wife at the back of where I live. The walk is a little over 2 1/2 miles and on the way back we stop by the lake and do at least 100 air squats.

Workout progress

It has been 14 days since I started this training and I dropped from 196lbs to 185lbs. I lost both some body fat and muscle. I realize lifting heavier weights increases muscle, but I am working out at home and my 35lb dumbbells are all I have. The pull up bar does help, and I did incorporate the bar, but I have not taken a video of those workouts yet.
