What Was Your Work Out Today?

Alex - good luck, hope it's all nothing serious.
My logging here has been poor, although I've remained reasonably active.
My Dad is not as serious as we thought. It may be cancer, but if so, it's a far less aggressive variant then we feared.
Sunday Medium sized walk, around 12 miles. I was slightly time constrained so couldn't do further.
Monday Climb over lunch. This was pretty poor - I was out of form.
Tuesday A evening walk of around 10 miles.
Wednesday Leg day. Many pistols, squatted 80 kgs for 2 sets of 10; deadlifted 100 kgs for 2 sets of 10. My body weight was 64 kgs in the morning.
I seem to be regularly be in a Fitbit Monday to Friday step challenge. I occasionally make an effort to win it - I did last week, with just over 100,000 total for the 5 days. I am unlikely to win it this week - I'm only in 3rd, and I have just over 50,000 for the three days so far.2 -
Easy steady state rowing machine, 2 x (2 on 2" off/CD) . . . then egregiously many freshly-baked homemade buttermilk biscuits with cherry-creme honey; another steady state 2 x (2 on 2" off/CD) . . . then very indulgent solo vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner, amounting to possible 10X the exercise calories. Heh. Worth it.
Total of 9,065m between the pieces, row in/out, and CDs.
@drmwc, so glad things are looking a bit better with your dad. Hope the news will continue to be as good as the situation allows!
@alexmose: You're sweet to say that, but . . . no, really not. 😆 I know you're still having challenges on the exercise front, but I hope you're finding things that keep you comfortable and contented, as much as possible. Hang in there, and keep on healing!2 -
Thanksgiving morning session with the infamous Team Body Project:
- another round of "Total 4"
- followed by a gentle "Cardio Breeze"
I've expressed my gratitude for daily movement and Team Body Project specifically many times before, but no amount of times will ever suffice. I admit I too often take for granted the gift of movement. I truly am blessed to have a body that is able to move, despite the mild aches and pains and fatigue. I am blessed to have suffered minimal injuries. I am blessed with the power of patient and timely healing.
I pray I, and we all, get plenty more years of enjoyable daily movement -- up to the day our time here comes to its close.
Happy, Joyful, Peaceful Thanksgiving - wherever you are.2 -
Taking two days off. My left shoulder was really hurting yesterday when I was cooking Thanksgiving (I'm the chef at home). Took today off too for good measure. I'm consistent but not obsessed about working out. When I have a pain I shouldn't, I take a break.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Matt -- really great news about your Dad!2 -
35 min / 7,446 m indoor rowing.........day 2 of the C2 Holiday Challenge2

Black Friday with a Team Body Project "doorbuster"!! Morning movement is always a good deal
- "Real Start HiLo" with Momma!!
- repeat of "Cardio Conditioning 3" -- it's been a while since I've done one of the "Cardio Conditioning" sessions. I'll definitely need to revisit them more often. I feel like I might not have been as energetic this time around..

12K meter row today in an hour and two minutes (so really slow but working to keep HR down under 70% max).1
-
20 min yoga w Adrienne and 10K steps.2

8903m rowing machine, the usual 4 x (2k on 2' off/CD) steady state.
Three overlapping goals: Shift the peak left of center on the power display on each stroke, feel the lift/decompression between glutes/seat (ideally through all 3 phases of the drive, but arms is challenging), don't push so hard it's over-fatiguing 😉 . . . all while listening to depressive Jason Isbell songs (not sure there are any other kind?). Oh, and keep HR below 70% reserve, which I did for all but 2 seconds, according to Garmin 😆, but maybe that's the same as that "don't push so hard . . . .".1 -

Climbed for 90 minutes. It was mixed session, I was pretty strong but moving a bit incompetently.1

I'd probably put it in as calisthenics or similar.
30 minute row today and 20 more on the Assault Bike (50 total). Started out a bit too hard on the rower, so took it easy on the Assault Bike.2 -
Hangboarding. It was a very good session. I got 10 second repeaters on the 15mm ledge, and a 10 second hang on the 12mm ledge.
I finished up with 60 kgs finger curls.1 -
Monday morning - ending November the way I began it: a boomin' Team Body Project session:
Today was another round of "Resistance Cardio HIIT" followed by Real Start "Cardio Core".
Who's excited for December movement??1 -
8829 rowing machine meters, usual format; focus on posture, firm core, proper layback. One of the four 2k pieces was rowed feet-out, which went suprisingly well. (The first time I ever rowed feet-out in a double, I fell over backwards into the lap of the collegiate rower sitting bow. Fortunately, she took it well, despite her surprise. 😆)1

I did a lighter full body workout!!! Had to cut it short but was glad to do SOME lifting for the first time in about a month!3

Yeah, I second that! I wish I was more excited about exercise!
Did another 8 X 500m row today w/ 3 minute rests. Last week, I did the same row but I crashed and burned on the first rep. Averaged 2:02.6 last week overall. So I wanted to do it again with better pacing. Ended up doing a 2:00.5 average. Certainly not great but big improvement from last week. I used to do these around 1:49 pace, so a lot of work still to do. I'd like to at least get back in the low 1:50s on this workout. Again, really low drag factor (air input into the machine that most think of as resistance) to keep the back feeling good. Instead of working at higher DFs, I'm working on keeping the stroke rate fast. All were 30 and above on this one. For an average height man (and short for a rower), I've never been a terrible high SR rower. Slow relative to my height.
Also did a 1K Warmup and 1K Cooldown.1
