Here’s a picture of me half way through my first post-lift HIIT session in what feels like eternity ... Historically, I’ve always been a ‘fitness enthusiast’ - whatever that means - and while my main sport has always been basketball, really, I just always enjoyed being active. About 8 years ago, I was undergoing treatment on my ankle for an accumulation of all the injuries I’ve had there and in this time I was asked to not play any contact sports .. so I took up triathlons 😰. I built my way up to Half Ironman distances and even though my Lake Placid Half Ironman race was cancelled a few hours before it was to start, I did get to participate in the Long Distance Phuket triathlon.... Im a long ways away from the conditioning I was in back then- I guess navigating the dynamics of such a changing world needed the best of me - so getting this #AppleWatchUltra has come at the best time. I can’t claim that a gadget could be my motivation- but being a sucker for good design and great product, the watch really has been a catalyst for re-prioritizing my health - something that used to come naturally to me but got lost in the past few years. More than anything, maybe it’s just because I felt a little “imposter-ish wearing it and need to do the watch some justice! Some people have been asking me how it is and to put it succinctly, you couldn’t imagine a product made to do what it does - any other way! The size is very natural & usable, the screen is vibrant, and it’s the most comfortable #applewatch I’ve worn (this trail loop / strap is iconic). I wouldn’t say this watch is for everyone but the best product isn’t! It’s made for a purpose and this is def #notanad , just appreciation for finding a reason to be motivated the past few weeks and going into the new year. ✨ #gr8likewhoa
