    On Thursday, for some reason I failed to get past the lobby of the pre-breakfast Zoom class. So I went for a walk. I also got an evening walk in, so ended up on over 30,000 steps. I saw a stag on the morning walk.

    I felt broken on Friday, so all I managed was a walk.

    On Saturday, I did an hour's yoga. I got a climb in on my home wall. It was a pretty good session. I really should make sure the mats are in the right spot if I do a dyno to a crimp at the top... No harm done, though.

    On Monday, I did another walk, this time around 15 miles, getting 33,000 steps in.

    Just getting started and sadly out of shape. So I'm starting small. I did 10 minutes of yoga stretches. 10 minutes of recumbent bike, another 15 minutes of general stretches and arm weights.

    That's exactly how you should start. It's smart. It's consistency that wins the race in the weight loss/health department. People that start off like a wildfire burn out or get hurt.

    I'm out for a few days. Did 80 minutes steady state work yesterday and felt a slight tweak on the rower. Well, that was my lower back telling me it's decided to go out on me. Going to the chiropractor today. Old injury. Usually the lower back just takes a few adjustments and I'm right back at it. Feeling better today. Still not good but not as much pain when I walk and get up from a chair.

    Since Covid hit, I haven't been on vacation yet this year. I usually take a four to seven day break twice a year on training so hard. Perhaps this will be my Summer break from working out, even if not planned.

    I'd not stretched in a few days because of an injury and then I was away. Where I hiked 22km at 36C. So yesterday I did my stretching routine again and found that I can sit totally comfortably in an upright pigeon pose with front knee at 90 degree angle now on one side. No lengthy warm up needed. It just worked. Also could sit comfortably in a side split on my black roll and on something quite a bit thinner on both sides. It looks like not doing anything for a few days is beneficial.

    Oh, I managed to get up out of a cosack squat. Just once (I was only stretching), but wow! Didn't expect that.

    I did a bit of relaxing yoga yesterday. Nothing extreme. Then wanted to see how far down I come with front splits. And came nearly all the way down without any actual discomfort. This kind of shocked me so much that I decided not to work out today because I know I want to try it again. Which is probably not good.

    Yoga. And the front splits repeat I so desperately wanted to do yesterday. I came pretty much all the way down :o Well, my hip flexors are still too tight to get the back leg all the way down. So I guess to achieve front splits I spent
    about 3 months trying to figure out what works for me (it's not stretching, but rather massaging), and about 4 weeks to get into the splits without specifically training for it and only trying it 1-2 times per week. Wow!

    I cycled about 66km today. Not used my racebike an awful lot because I currently prefer walking. Thus this was something. I didn't feel too tired cycling despite about 28C and massive humidity (I was at the coast, but didn't help today). but once home I realized that one or the other body part is rather tender. Ouchie. No idea what caused it.

    Yesterday I rode my bike to the pool and did an ab workout in the pool. Today is rest day but I might see if my kids want to take a family bike ride around our small town just to get out.

    First workout in a week, though I barely got out of "warmup" mode on my HRM. Did 30 on the LateralX and 30 on the Assault Bike. First workout since I hurt my lower back last weekend. Will swim some today as well. Seems like it didn't hurt it any worse. Been going to the Chiropractor. My lower back usually is fairly responsive to adjustments. The disc injury last year (thoracic spine) was much more serious. This is from an old injury years ago.

    50 minutes, a bit harder than yesterday's test run for my back. Nothing too hard, kept HR between 65% and 70% of max. 30 on the LateralX and 20 on the Assault Bike. Around 620 calories or so. Still too hot to row and I'm not sure if it wasn't that I would yet. Want to make sure the back is feeling much stronger before I attempt that.

    Bought a planking board with a game built into it. Frustrated with how often my back has been hurt. Going to work a lot more on my abs. I'm believing I'm out of balance with my core not matching my back muscles. My shoulders used to get injured a lot when I did too much rowing or too much benching. I'm a firm believer in balancing the body out. Although rowing does work the core, I hadn't been rowing much lately, so I'm guessing that's why I pulled something last week, one day after my monthly hard row timed test.

    I had a long weekend away, scuba diving in Scotland.

    Wednesday I thought I had corona virus symptoms, so I went for a test. I didn't do much exercise - I ended up working to midnight to get ready for the long weekend away.

    Thursday The test came back negative, and the symptoms vanished, so I drove to Scotland, leaving mine at around 2.30 p.m. and getting there for 9 p.m. I didn't get much exercise in due to driving, but managed 11,000 steps.

    Friday Diving! I got a 45 minute seal dive in. I got some walks in, finishing on over 20,000 steps.

    Saturday Diving! A 60 minute reef dive - it was very nice, and stunning visibility. Only 17,000 steps.

    Sunday Diving! Another 60 minute reef dive. I went for a bit of a hike afterwards, getting 28,000 steps.

    Monday Diving! Another 60 minute reef dive. I drove home afterwards, getting back to mine at about 10.30 p.m. I only managed 10,000 steps, mainly due to the inconvenience of a 8 hour drive.

    I will climb tonight.

    I did standing at my desk at work by creating a "stand up desk" that cost me nothing. I found a link to figure out calories burned from "standing" here https://captaincalculator.com/health/calorie/calories-burned-standing-calculator/
