Fitness

I’m currently in the middle of a bit of a mid-life renaissance when it comes to fitness. Having spent most of my adult life (and a significant portion of my teenage years) either sedentary or with fleeting dip into something resembling exercise, I had always assumed that it just wasn’t for me.

However, it turns out that isn’t the case. This post is the story of how I got to where I am now, and why it took me so long to do so! I turned 40 at the end of 2024, and yet my fitness journey feels like it has only really just begun.

Introduction

For those who don’t know me (which is presumably most people who will read this), it is worth an introduction to myself.

I am a dad, I work in the technology industry (SRE/Software Engineer/Platform if you wanted to know), I play guitar, I listen to a variety of music (with a slight preference towards metal and EDM), and I am a little obsessed with Motorsport too.

For a few years I wrote blogs as YetiOps, mainly focussed on DevOps, Automation, Networking (TCP-style, rather than meeting people), but lost a little steam (partly life, partly time, partly jobs) and haven’t written anything in 3 years.
