My Actifit Report Card: November 21 2024

(Edited)

The first snow of the year blanketed northern France. It had been forecasted for three days.

To be honest, I’m not a big fan of snow. It complicates travel, makes sidewalks slippery, and, above all, comes with a cold I’d rather avoid. Just thinking about the frost biting at my fingers already makes me shiver.

That said, there’s one thing you can’t deny: snow transforms everything. It covers everyday life with a pristine blanket, muffles sounds, and offers a white light in the grayness of November. Under its white coat, even the most ordinary landscapes become magical.

On my way to my parents’ house this morning, I couldn’t help but stop for a moment to admire this fleeting beauty.

If the entire winter could look like this, it would be perfect. Usually, winter means 5 degrees, gray skies, and an annoying drizzle that shows up uninvited. Not exactly cheerful. But snow changes everything.

As usual, my day started in overdrive: work kept piling up, and stress settled in naturally, but I’m working on it. Once all my projects are completed, I’ll take a long pause to reflect on what’s next.

This morning, I dove into my tasks, determined to make progress. But as noon approached, I decided to take a break. I opened the Freeletics app to see what my workout for the day would be.

On paper, it didn’t seem too bad:

  • A warm-up,
  • A 4-minute PB workout (based on my last record),
  • And some stretching to finish.

The whole session was estimated to take about 22 minutes.

Each week, Freeletics includes a PB challenge in the program. PB stands for "Personal Best." The goal is simple: beat your own best time while maintaining perfect technique.


The warm-up was almost identical to the one at the start of the week. But the PB? That was a different story. The sequence was intense:

  • 50 crunches,
  • 10 mountain climbers,
  • 40 crunches,
  • 20 mountain climbers,
  • 30 crunches,
  • 30 mountain climbers,
  • 20 crunches,
  • 40 mountain climbers,
  • 10 crunches,
  • And to finish, 50 mountain climbers.

All of it, of course, without any breaks.

I really struggled to keep up. To prove it, I clocked in 6 minutes slower than my last record… set back in 2021.

La première neige de l'année a recouvert le nord de la France. Les prévisions l'annonçaient depuis trois jours.

Pour être honnête, je ne suis pas un grand fan de la neige. Elle complique les déplacements, rend les trottoirs glissants, et surtout, elle s'accompagne d'un froid que je préfère éviter. Rien qu'à penser au givre qui mord les doigts, je frissonne déjà.

Cela étant dit, il y a quelque chose qu'on ne peut pas nier : la neige transforme tout. Elle recouvre le quotidien d'une couverture immaculée, étouffe les bruits, et offre une lumière blanche dans la grisaille de novembre. Sous son manteau blanc, même les paysages les plus ordinaires deviennent magiques.

En allant chez mes parents ce matin, je n'ai pu m'empêcher de m'arrêter un instant pour admirer cette beauté éphémère.

Si tout l’hiver pouvait ressembler à ça, ce serait vraiment idéal. Habituellement, l’hiver rime avec 5 degrés, un ciel grisâtre et une pluie fine qui s’invite sans prévenir. Rien de très joyeux. Mais là, la neige change tout.

Comme souvent, ma journée a commencé sur les chapeaux de roues : le travail s’accumule, et le stress s’installe presque naturellement, mais je travaille dessus. Quand tous mes projets seront terminé, je ferais une grande pause pour réfléchir à la suite.

Ce matin, je me suis plongé dans mes tâches, bien décidé à avancer un peu. Mais à l’approche de midi, j’ai décidé de m’accorder une pause. J’ai ouvert l’application Freeletics pour découvrir quel serait mon entraînement du jour.

Sur le papier, rien de bien méchant :

  • Un échauffement,
  • Un entraînement PB de 4 minutes (selon mon dernier record),
  • Et des étirements pour terminer.

Le tout était estimé à environ 22 minutes.

Chaque semaine, Freeletics intègre une épreuve de PB dans le programme. PB pour "Personal Best". L’objectif est simple : battre son propre record de temps tout en conservant une technique parfaite.


L'échauffement ressemblait presque exactement à celui du début de la semaine. Mais pour le PB, c'était une autre histoire. L'enchaînement prévu était intense :

  • 50 crunches,
  • 10 mountain climbers,
  • 40 crunches,
  • 20 mountain climbers,
  • 30 crunches,
  • 30 mountain climbers,
  • 20 crunches,
  • 40 mountain climbers,
  • 10 crunches,
  • et pour finir, 50 mountain climbers.

Le tout, bien sûr, sans pause.

J’ai vraiment eu du mal à tenir le rythme. La preuve, j’ai mis 6 minutes de plus que mon dernier record établi… en 2021.

I love the snow. Those pictures you took are beautiful. And that exercise routine I'm sure will give you a sculpted body in the long term... have you got it yet? Lol. Those workouts certainly keep the heat in the body. Hit it hard.
