MAPS Anabolic Day 1 Phase 1! Back to doing some real programming, although I'll have to say goodbye to loading the spine for a while. Not even front squats. Luckily, I truly think bulgarian split squats are just as effective.2

I need to self isolate for a bit. I had a Covid test on Thursday in preparation for an operation this Tuesday. I need to isolate until the operation.
I climbed for an hour in my garden. It was very good - I was in form. I got a heel hook on a tiny hold, going from a small crimp. It's a move I have tried many times before, and the first time it has worked.
I warmed down with finger curls.
It was nice and sunny, but only around 5 centigrade.4 -

C2, 8904m, 2:34.8, 20spm; base, i.e., < 70% HR reserve. Still working on posture, but I'm again trying to make sure I get 10m+ per stroke, at least. Why? Teaches patience. Boats like patience. 😉 Rest day scheduled tomorrow.2

To me, that sounds perfect.
A gradual on-ramp to increased fitness, then keeping it manageable but always just a small challenge: IMO, that's the smart route.
I think too many people do some impractical "zero to sixty, let's go to the gym 2hrs/7days" approach, and burn out - too big a jump, doesn't accommodate to a balanced life. You're doing it right.
And it'll be fun, chasing your *great*-grand babies around, playing tag'n'stuff. Meanwhile, keep checking in here!2 -

1700 meters outdoor pool
53 mins.
1 app says 996 calories burned. Another says 694. Go figure.
Swimming was my favorite until I picked up rollerblading again recently. I burn 1/3 more calories for the same amount of time swimming.
I have serious back issues (2 spine surgeries),so I mix things up )swimming, blading, walk-running and some lifting.
My short-term goal is to drop 25 pounds in the next 2 months or so.

I started running again recently, and noticed that not running, but spending a lot of time hiking and cycling kept me kind of fit. Earlier this year I needed nearly a month to go from 5km to 4 miles. This time I just ran three 5ks, and then a day later 4 miles. It just worked. And the 4 miler was faster than the previous 5k. Have to say that I'm still the slowest runner around, but ho hum...
I'm currently working on a running badge for which I need runs on 10 successive days. Stupid? Yeah. But I'm already at 8 days now. Some days were super short, but I still made it count because I wrecked myself on the first few meters
Btw, if someone wants to try smashrun, please feel free to use my referral. I don't get anything other than maaaybe another badge. https://en-gb.smashrun.com/nina.lili/invite yeah, so it looks like badges keep me motivated 3 -
Another day as an honored and proud member of Team Body Project:
Sunday morning of Real Start "HIIT 30"
and early afternoon of another round of Real Start "Beats 2".

I did an hour of yoga before lunch.
In the evening, I did upper body lifts.
I started off with hangboarding. This was pretty good - my finger strength was good.
I then benched 55 kgs for 2 sets of 10.
I did loads of dips.
I did weighted pull ups, getting plus 22.5 kgs.
I finished up with military press, doing 35 kgs for 2 sets of 10.3 -

Great running! I'm a runner too, streaking Day #6 so I definitely do not think consecutive days are stupid, not at all. I was scheduled to run Austin Marathon on 2/14 and it was changed to a Half with a different date or you can defer to another year, but anyone who signed up to run the Marathon also got 6 free virtual races. So no, I think what you're doing is pretty cool! You need to stay motivated! I'll check it out and if it's free, I'll probably give it a shot!2 -

Wow, nice! I could never run a marathon or a half due to a particularly nasty dysautonomia (get in the flow and relax, hr drops by up to 20bpm, me: I need air!!!) and generally poor energy accessibility). But I still enjoy my shorter, slow runs.2 -
Did only my second full hour row yesterday. Not fast, but controlled and consistent. Kept HR mostly under 70% Max HR for the duration.
Followed that up by a couple hours of yard work, pool cleaning and then X-Max lights being put up. I'm also the home chef, so made a huge batch of spaghetti and homemade meatballs, which I thoroughly deserved, along with a couple glasses of red wine.3 -
Pretty much recovery today. 30 minutes (really light Drag factor) on the rower and then 25 on the LateralX. All under 70% max HR.2
-
10 sets of push-ups, 9 sets crunches, 8 sets of loop band pull aparts going from heavy to light 2 sets each band.2
-
Leg day. I took it easy, as I was shattered, squatting 80 kgs for 2 sets of 8; and deadlifting 100 kgs for 1 set of 10.2

3 mile run, 4 one-minute forearm planks, 30 dumbbell arm curls 5 pounds1

60 min's cardio1

C2, 8950m, holding to <70% HR reserve as usual. Still working posture, plus focusing on the upper story at the front end: Non-moving arms & back, off the catch. Curiously, that was more productive than focusing on the lower story of the front end last week (spend legs first). 🤷♀️1
