    SS work on the rower today again for 50 minutes and 5 on the AD Pro. Wanted to keep HR down a bit today and try to get an hour in but forgot to put the Drag Factor down from yesterday's sprint. Was up higher than I like within around 30 minutes. Was a struggle to keep it down.

    Today is my Official Rest Day, so just a few short, gentle walks.

    Today is also the day my work provides free cake, so I'm climbing the walls at the absence of those sweet exercise cals...

    Just under 8.5k rowing bow (and coxing, coaching, steering ;) ) in a quad. (That's the 4-rower, 2 oars per person (sculling), kind of rowing boat. They're around 40 feet long.)

    Was supposed to be a long slow day. I lost all discipline on this one! It will have to be an easy day tomorrow, but have to admit, felt good to blow a little smoke out of the engine.

    Chilled out wednesday.

    6am sprints with my trainer, 30min working on increasing distance I'm sprinting for

    1hr piyo class, really starting to appreciate this class especially as I usually getting beasted pretty bad on a Tuesday (I generally partner the instructor in boxercise so get to do double bubble, or if her usual partner hasnt turned up I get the machine who is almost as bad).

    Anyway piyo is def getting easier, I'm getting more flexible, or seeing as I'm hypermobile it's more a case that I'm trusting my body more and not panicking about over extending and dislocating. Almost got my head on the floor for the straddle stretch at the end. First week it was just my hands

    Planks and Squats are one of the best exercises IMO! I do them regularly too. Best abs ever! Keep it up!!!

    I need to add early morning squats, planks and push-ups to my (lack of) exercise routine... I'm traveling this weekend, so maybe these will be my workout, since I won't have access to my equipment. :) Thanks for the idea!

    Bouldering, 90 minutes.

    This was another good session - a noticeable improvement. I flashed a V3 with tiny, horrible holds and lots of leg swaps. I got half way up a difficult v3, where I've never got off the ground before. The silly, juggy overhangy ones all felt easy.

    I also did 10,000 steps and climbed some trees en route (there is a picture in the middle aged thread.)

    Good job of listening to and obeying your body and doing a Plan B workout; something is better than nothing.

    Lessee: RowSpinRowSpinRowRowRest. It's Thursday, so it must've been spin. I just try to stay mostly in Z3 after the warmup and before the cooldown (sometimes hard to do with lower body only), maybe throw in a dab of 150+ toward the end when that gets easier to achieve. Not any way trying to train, just trying to have fun. Looked like this today:

    I think that big bpm gully toward the end may be when we stopped pedaling and did a spinal twist long-hold thingie on the bike at the start of the stretching. Wondering if the chest belt momentarily lost contact . . . but maybe not: HRrest is well below that dip, so maybe it could be true - not the first time I've seen it. (I don't bother to stop the watch until after the stretching.)
