Herd 90 - Men

Day 1 almost completed. About to start my 5k and I will have finished strong today.

Well, i got a mile walk in this am, and multiple stretching, planks and pushup sets through the day. Got my journaling, prayer, fasting (ironically church is doing a fast as well right now), read exodus 1, act if kindness all done.. but why is it sooo hard to drink a gallon of water lol

A gallon of water is A LOT for anyone; 128oz in a day is tough (IMO). I've pushed myself today and got in 88oz...

DAY 1 MEN LETS GET IT

Day 1 let’s go!! Glad to be here as a men’s ministry leader I absolutely love this and seeing men step up take charge and start leading and growing.

New member. Navy vet with some back issues that really have been controlling my life far too long. I have been in physical therapy and on pain meds and even have a stimulator implant. Going to give this a try!

Pete Miller 2026-01-05 16:45:40Z

Praying for you; my wife had a spnlinal cord stimulator for ~5 years; didn't work and had it removed. slow n steady with respect to exercise! Strict form and remember to hydrate! Fair winds...

I have asked the VA to remove it a few times. It helps a little but it def. causes its own pain. Daily pain for 15 years and I look fine so I get exactly what you would expect from doctors most the time.

Nicholas Orozco 2026-01-05 16:47:52Z

Navy disabled vet as well. I’m facing similar concerns. We can do this tho. Don’t push yourself beyond your limits but don’t make excuses for yourself either. This should be challenging but not painful. Nothing we haven’t pushed ourselves through in the service.

Appreciate the response.

Thank you for your service. Also congratulations on stepping out and working towards Herd 90! I have also had back problems in the past. I had surgery in the 8th grade and haven't treated it very good since, including running heavy equipment the last 8 years. A resource I found to really help me is, Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill. He is a world leading expert in back health. The book is written in a way that normal people can understand it. He goes through what causes pain and how to help avoid it and also has a workout plan to help strengthen it. everything is at home body weight. At most I'd say you need a mat and a stretching strap. I'm doing the workout through the book and then stretching for my 45 minute inside workout. I have also recently found a great chiropractor to help get stuff moving correctly again. I have been using McGill's stuff on and off since around 2021 and it is really helped just even just working on my own. Typically I get to feeling better and stop doing the workout. Best of luck to you!

Sounds great! I will look up Stuart's book, thank you. I think i have made mine worse by sitting at my desk for far to many hours a day. I have some stretches I have started from my physical therapist and I finally got a standing desk to help some as well.

First day underway! Joined the gym on the 1st and started some light exercises to get back into it (been a hot minute since I failed this last year - travel distracted me and I shouldn't have let it). Reading out loud to my wife and then prayer together makes it a better experience for me!

Wishes for success for all of us this year!

I’ve done 75 hard before, but this is going to be next level. I’ll be leaning on you men to stay in it. Very thankful to be here.

Checking in, Excited and scared! Excited to have God in my life all day as I go through this plan. Scared to not let perfection get in my way!

Is there a way to upload a photo from your phone or at least set a timer in the app? Can’t do a full body picture without those options.

Alright. Let’s get it.

From today's text from Church... Hebrews 12:11 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. #LetsGo #Everything

I'm in for the whole schebang! Mapping out my afternoon workouts (weights) for Monday - Sunday (then repeat). Morning workout is a 45 minute walk in the neighborhood before work (probably mega-early, but gotta do what I gotta do).

Might have my wife join Herd for Her, so she can do it as well...but we'll see. :)


AAAHHOOOOOOOO!

My wife and another Herd Strong wife will be hosting the Herd for Her challenge so even if she doesn't want to do the full thing they will have some options.

Pete Miller 2025-12-31 01:52:11Z

Excellent! I will pass along the info to my wife.
