i did workout "snacks" today. 40 mins of chest/abs, break for lunch, 30 mins shoulders/abs, 40 min walk, 15 min bicep/tricep....so my usual upper minus back.....might still get back in but its been achy
has anyone else done workout "snacks"?? get any good results from it?
I don't snack, I eat monster meals because I do all my work fasted!
But if you're spreading out your workouts, a bit of protein and carbs between is a good idea. On days I used to lift, then row (or vice versa), I would snack between and take at least an hour. You should have glycogen loads at least sufficient before lifting. But you don't need to overdue. Idiots that run races on huge bowls of spaghetti usually end up puking that out during the race. Just enough carbs to keep you going.1 -

Love seeing your different setups. Good stuff!1 -
Some afternoon yoga (meh) and a super short evening interval bodyweight session (a bit more than meh). May yet do a light jog along the waterfront before it gets too dark.3

None of my strength sessions are very long,so I don't need fuel.
I will consume electrolytes and calories inside a longer cardio workout. The amount of fuel intake varies based on temperature, humidity and length of the session(s). I often take in both solids and liquids on the bike, but usually stick to liquid fuels and/or gels while running. I typically consume a recovery drink/meal soon after a workout.
Today's run was an easy 1:15:00 trail run, so I had nothing but water.2 -
Yesterday completed 30 days of yoga with Adrienne so today I went back to picking one at random.
Today's Fitness Blender workout was was bodyweight upper body and cardio kickboxing fun!
Added back in a 30 min virtual fast hike on the Max trainer in the evening.

I did:
One hour's yoga so ridiculously early I didn't even have a coffee.
Then we had a bridge tournament in the evening, so my workout didn't start until late. I finished at around 1 a.m.
It was leg day:
Dynamic stretches; "hill sprints" (using my stairs); band warm up; squat (5 sets of 5, 75kgs); deadlift (5 sets of 5, 110 kgs); lunges (32 kgs); pistols; 3 rounds of baby shark ab workout; yoga for warm down.3 -
Rest/cardio day. Did some CX work tho and waiting for this rain to clear to go for a run. Still no COVID test results. Sigh*

75 minutes indoors on the bike this morning. 10min warmup, 50min at endurance power (Zone 2) then 15 min cool down. Some bodyweight strength/core work and stretching planned for noon hour. Virtual Happy Hour tonight.

1 hour hard row today (on the C2 machine) at 5 AM. Even my dogs were like, "WTF???". Got up at 4:15 and was on the rower at 5 AM. 4 minutes slow paddling, then 6 as hard as sustainable, repeat that for six times total (no rest, all active work). 1100 calories burned in an hour. Average HR of 80% Max. Around 12.6K meters, I believe.
Intervals were mostly around 2:11 (faster, for me right now because I'm currently still very slow for a rower -- around 10 seconds off my better paces at this workout) and slow were slow -- around 2:39 pace. Just tried to maintain 24 SPM on the faster work. Hopefully this speed will improve. HR sure was up there.4 -

I did this workout this morning, with added chest and back work. Yvette has some really good ones. Check out her channel!1 -
Weights and then abs circuit.2 -
Yikes, I don't know where to start...
walked into town before breakfast because I needed rolls for breakfast and a few other things.
Did a 48 minute interval/circuit training pretty much without breaks at lunch
walked into town again to pick up an order and to buy something I'd forgotten earlier
Walked to supermarket because all the handwashing leaves my hands so dry and I needed cream (ok, only 300 meter and back)
Danced to Ethiopian music for about 40 minutes after dinner and with a glass of gin straight
38 minutes of stretching, which is not something I should have done after a drink.3 -
*kitten* day today. Most I exerted myself was running those few minutes between my place of work and where my vehicle was parked during thunderstorms in central Florida, scared shitless of getting hit by lightning.4
-
Slow walking. Ambling about the neighborhood in short bursts, really.
It was supposed to be a rest day so I should have fewer steps but it's so disgustingly nice outside what with the sun, lack of clouds, and the ability to wear shorts without looking like a crazy Canadian. I may yet go outside as it's not even suppertime.
Since we're doing screenshots...

Today I walked some 15km though my local heath area. I'm basically trying to convince my body to not need something to eat every hour or so when I'm active. Imagine you run for 60 minutes, and after 65 minutes you hit a wall, end up all shivering, low blood pressure and soooo hungry. It sucks. So today I had my usual 350ish calorie breakfast and and went out at around 11. Hiked and geocached, and had some more 180 calories lunch and some water at 13:00, went home and just hit my local market at closing time at 16:00. Had a big dinner at 16:30. Slowly managing to get on without eating constantly.
Some 30-40 minutes of slow, relaxed hamstring/calves/Achilles heel stretching.3 -
Plan called for a 1:40:00 indoor bike session called "The Kitchen Sink" because it tries to hit all energy systems and aspects of power, blah, blah, blah. Since it was sunny and 62 degrees here this afternoon, I made an executive decision and pulled the bike off the trainer and hit the road. Really enjoyed the ride, 32miles in just under 2hrs (16.2mph). Nice aerobic pace, a little climbing work and a chance to "blow the stink off" on the home stretch. I need more days like this. 2

Hit the glutes and quads hard on lower day. I think I’ll split each of my two lower days into one glute focused and another hamstring focused. Let’s see how that pans out.1

33 min spin bike
Afternoon: 1 hour brisk pace walk2 -
Golfer's elbow really putting a hitch in my giddy up....4

Fun trail run this am. Water is still too cold for a swim/run, so we did a 4:1 run/walk through the woods following the mtn bike trail. One loop is 5 miles and it was just enough. Saw two mtn bikers and 3 deer on the trails. Felt really good to just run easy and enjoy the scenery.2

My abs and chest were screaming for rest so just did back, bicep, and shoulders today. Perhaps will take a couple walks today hamstrings and glutes are achy so home workouts are at least stimulating these groups the same as the gym. 0

One hour row today (easy) early in the AM, then a 45 minute fun bike ride with the wife and daughter on the Tucson Bike Loop -- best thing I did this year was get two new bikes for the wife and I and a used one for the kids when they come to town. Bought them right before all of this started. We went only around 10 miles.
Most eventful thing is I nearly ran over a 5 foot rattlesnake. Actually the first one I've seen in Tucson. Some old man came up behind me (and didn't follow the rules and didn't say anything), got up on me really close at the same time my daughter yells from ahead, "look out for the snake". He rightfully hissed a bit at me as I was getting too close to him thanks to the idiot that didn't inform me he was coming up on me on his road bike. We have just fun, comfort hybrids. Been in Tucson over one year and this was the first Rattler I've seen and it was a big boy!1 -
*sigh* I went out to finally work on running longer than 5k again. I started too fast, and just about managed 3km. I did shave 0:35 off my current 3km pace though. Looks like the lockdown is after all getting to me as I'm a bit too restless to take it slowly.
Just now: Had a glass of gin, listening to kologo music, smelling the marijuana smell from a neighbour somewhere, stretching thoroughly for an hour. I guess this music and gin are a good combination for stretching
(no, don't do that!) 5 -
Yesterday was max pull ups. I got 14 reps unweighted, and +25kgs single rep weighted. I was pretty happy with both of these. I also got 17000 steps without leaving the house. (I did a stack of gardening and housework.)
Today, I did 1 hour of mandala yoga in the morning. Then, in the evening, I did a 6k row on the erg, in 2.12 pace. I was happy with this. It's not fast by other people's standards, but it is fast by mine!😀3 -
What should have been an easy row at 5AM seemed too hard. Either the 5AM part or the 9 miles I added on the bike after my row yesterday and spending another hour swimming in the heat accumulated. My HR was OK this AM (capped at 150) but the last 20 minutes seemed like an eternity. Just over 12K meters.4
