Ha! I’m curious to know where you got your vocabulary of exercises without ExRx.net (of course the site also merely curates from other sources such as the books that came before and along it). I don’t remember the exact search keywords, but I’m pretty sure I found it while building my own program and looking for exercises for specific muscle groups.

I worked for an organization that contracted out fitness instructors to various gyms, apartments, churches, etc.

So I would go to their classes to pick up moves. There were also various certifications and conferences (SCW).

I got started in lifting weights ironically enough because I was a short (still short), fat (I got better), kid with a computer (still a software developer…sort of) and had cerebral palsy (still do).

While I didn’t have any coordination to play sports (my CP basically effects my left hand and a very slight limp), I could “lift things up and put them down” with the best of them and my “physical therapy” turned into weight lifting at 12 and I was paired with a personal trainer early on.

When properly conditioned as an adult, I found that I could run up to 9 miles (a 15K) in races and come in the middle of the pack (a little more than 6 miles an hour) before my legs gave out on me.

At my old age of 49, I wouldn’t put my body through the kind of training it takes to do anything above a 10K and probably no more than a 5K.

I also took advantage of remote work to buy a “Condotel” unit in a resort in Florida for half the year specifically because it had 3 pools (swimming is much easier on my body) and a gym.

The other half of the year, I “nomad” and fly around the US and stay in hotels instead of AirBnbs partially to have access to gyms and pools.

My wife took up the mantle a few years ago and now she teaches dance/fitness classes.
