What Was Your Work Out Today?

Went for a bike ride this morning, which was cut short when it started to pour 20 minutes in (luckily, I was close to home when the skies opened). This evening, I went to a class at my gym called "Torch" which varies from week to week, but tonight was stations with weights, medicine balls, battle ropes, etc., interspersed with whatever exercise came up with a roll of the dice (could be something as easy as 10 crunches, or more challenging...like 90 seconds of push-ups.)0

Yet another 7k or so rowing the double . . . but finally a little cooler, and not steambath-humid, so we threw in some power 10s just for fun.
Addendum for today:
Went to a fun event (for "young professionals"
) at a local lake where there were sampler sessions of lots of things: Paddleboard yoga (first time for me), hula hooping, booths for things like Code Red and Orange Theory where we could get on their WaterRowers (in one case for a free t-shirt if I could beat my (younger 
) friend over 150m - heh), a local fitness training group where we did a lateral band walk challenge (again for a free t-shirt), a row in our rowing club barge, and some non-exercise things (like a pontoon boat ride, watching a circus aerials performer).
Then I helped row the rowing barge down the lake to the take-out ramp, load it up with all the oars and a couple of rowing singles (the wider recreational ones), take the barge apart into 2 sections, and load it onto 2 good-sized boat trailers.
So fun.3 -

So fun.
I chuckled at the bit in bold All and all sounds like a fun event though. I'm always curious about paddleboarding. Not curious enough to try (as if I would have the time...), but curious none the less.
Today I did a lot of resting.2 -
Yesterday was a 15 mile bike ride with my youngest kiddo. He hasn't biked since last summer, so it was a slower ride than I'm used to. I may do another ride this evening - we'll see. I *need* to yoga or stretch, I think. Maybe tonight... Gotta get better at taking care.0

Two 45 min spin classes this morning for a total of 27 miles. Oof.1

Then the 30 minute express circuit at Planet Fitness, really pushing myself on the cardio bits.

So far...making coffee. But...will walk minimum 8,000 steps with my willing dog, and an hour of Pilates later this afternoon. That's pretty much my routine every day. 0

5.5+ miles and near 4 hours mowing the lawn starting a little after 6 as my workout today. Might do core work this afternoon.

~9km in a 4. Nothing to write home about other than that the water was really choppy coming back to the dock. I might do an hour on Zwift this evening depending on how hot it is.1

Yesterday went real hard: multiple bench sets, deadlifts, leg press, shoulders, back, push-ups, jump rope - about an hour and ten mins altogether.
Today - bi’s and tri’s + 3 mile run0 -
^ Thanks Mike. I do try to keep a steady pace. I always accelerate in the last 1k, as I'm glad the end is in sight.
Yesterday, I went bouldering. I didn't get any significant new routes - I got some new overhangs. However, they are always more about power, which I'm OK at. I'm not as good at technique and tiny hold, but I think I prefer it when I get one.
Today, I had 1 hour of vinyasa yoga. I think I may have shin splints, but the pain goes away if I do enough stuff and ignore it.1 -
Spin class, and a little more walking than usual (2 passes through the big state-wide-sourced farmer's market they have once a month at the capitol) - I'm usually very sedentary outside of exercise.1

30min session with trainer combining barbell and resistance band with a bit of cardio
2 miles of running intervals.
5/3/1 cycle 3 week 1 bench. Plus
5x10@28kg normal grip.
3x10@21kg close grip
Flies, incline dumbbell bench, decline dumbell bench.
10 min on ski erg, my first time trying this, very impressed with the calories burnt.
Fast 5k on treadmill.
3 mile cycle ride to circuits (plus ride back)
45 min circuits class, lots of fun with water guns and paddling pool1 -
Today's hard interval workout. It was supposed to be my first ITC (Inter Squad Row). It was row 7777 meters with 7' rest, any way you want and record the time. I got to the last 500m and figured out I programed it wrong! Didn't count for my club, but screw it, the effort and intent was there! Plus, huge improvement over last week long intervals.

Thanks Pier. Yeah, I'm pretty good about that. Learned some hard lessons on that a while ago! Good luck in your race this weekend, BTW!
@ Firef1y72 - The SkiErg is the last piece of equipment that I want to complete my home gym! I would love one of those. Never tried one but many of my indoor rowing buddies have them. Fantastic workout and very complimentary to the rower. Brutally hard to sustain for long periods of time. Really a great full body workout.
In my humble opinion, after watching some of these really hardcore performance athletes and rowers train for a long time, I honestly think that if I had to pick five pieces of equipment, it would the rower, the SkiErg, some heavy KBs, an Assault Bike and Plyo Boxes. That's enough for anyone to train like a beast! I have four of the five currently. Would like some padded Plyo Boxes but man are they expensive.0 -
Had planned to go to zumba, but when I arrived at the gym I discovered class was canceled. I wasn't wearing the right shoes for other stuff, so I came home to do 30 minutes on the elliptical and a short fitness blender workout.2

7/25/2019 - at Santa Cruz with less than 90 hours to my Sunday morning 6-mile fun run and an earned rest day sporting shoulders DOMS from yesterday’s double KB carries complex.
Will walk 2-3 miles in a while for some transportation active rest meeting a client for dinner. Will do an easy run tomorrow with some strides.
