What Was Your Work Out Today?

Did 11 miles on stationary bike.
Warmed up with light weights and decided to focus on where my OHP form was breaking down. Went at this with intent of hitting 100 reps. Did sets of 25 and made it to 3rd set with 2 left and tried to grind through it..... bad mistake. Was able to get a step or 2 away before I went down like sack of potatoes hahaha. Positive outcome I got it on video and didn't get hurt. That ended my am workout but gonna hit a couple miles on trail at lunch soon.3 -
10K on the rower unstrapped. Warmed up just enough to not be miserable.2
-
Half an hour-ish of yoga/stretch/foam roll before breakfast.
Stationary bike easy pace (forgot to start workout on Garmin so not sure exactly how easy, but limited stats from the bike suggest HR peaked in lower Z3).
Sixteen minutes of core exercises after the bike.1 -

5.12 mile walk, moving at 3.8mph.
6828 meters machine rowing.
22' strength training.
I'd thought of doing a little more high intensity row today instead of base, but took the walk in late afternoon on impulse, and how I felt suggested a moderate pace row would be smarter. 2:43.3 pace, 21spm, topped out in upper Z3.
Last year on New Years Eve, I rowed 3x2020m, hoping to put 2020 behind me and head into a better (hah!) 2021, like Dorothy tapping the ruby slippers together 3 times while saying "no place like home".
Clearly, that failed. Today, I tried 3 x 2022m . . . in with the new year, instead of out with the old?
I'm not optimistic.
Happy New Year, everyone, nonetheless!6 -
Back.
I have a bad back so yeah...
Barbell T row
Century set
Cable row v handle
Century set strict
Century set shugs

3 sets till failure (15-20 lol)
DB shrugs
started with 20 lb DB's and went up until I couldn't get more than a couple reps. Then went back down
3 sets
Pullovers
Century set
The century sets were a weight I figured I could get to about 30 reps in one go. Then rest/pause and breathe and go again.2 -
Happy New Year to all.
I joined a group of ten friends in entering a "winter warrior challenge" which requires a run or walk outside every day in January. Today was day one. Mileage is tracked and medals given based on 1, 3, or 5 mile per day average. If you miss a day, you're out. I normally don't do these types of challenges, but I'll walk most of the days, so it shouldn't interfere with strength and cycling work.
Just an easy 2.5 mile rainy walk today. One down, thirty days to go.

Day 15 of EPIC II - full body strength & cardio circuit workout. I usually enjoy the EPIC workouts but this was too much calisthenics and not enough weight lifting for me.3

I was relatively active over Christmas, but spent a lot of time with family away from home. My logging here has been weak. As COVID is so prevalent, I didn't get much climbing in. I did go on my little brother's home wall on Christmas day. I was terrifible on it - I need to practice crimpy overhangs.
I decided to start the year in a non-sedentary way. I did a 26 mile walk over many, many hills. It took around 8 hours. I had lunch on the go to avoid stopping. (The walk was the Three Peaks of Surrey https://www.threepeakschallenge.uk/s...aks-challenge/
That website claims it is only 22 miles; the 26 miles was from Fitbit. I did one of the hills twice to avoid walking along a narrow, busy, unlit country lane with no pavements at night. It may have been a bit over-enthusiatic on my part.)5 -
Started the year with 3 miles under 30 and an additional walked mile with ma lady. I cut the yard as well so I’ve actually put in a nice 10 miles on the 1st day of the year. Enjoying some homemade sangria now… Happy New Year to you all.3

Jeez, I forgot to report that yesterday started with around half an hour of yoga/stretch/foam roll, before the walk-row-strength workouts. Oh, well.
Not so good on that, today: Only around 10-15 minute of yoga/stretch, because I got up late, wanted to eat at least a snack before a Zoom thing I had scheduled.
11,075 meters stationary bike 10k+CD, just under half an hour. Easy/moderate, peak in low Z3.
14' of core exercises.
Rest day tomorrow. It kind of surprises me, honestly, that I didn't blow off NY Eve or NY day.2 -
240 minutes on the Elliptical for 16.5 miles.1
-
Last Sunday morning spin/core class today. 75minute spin ending with tabata routine, then a quick 15 minute core workout during cool down.
Day two of winter warrior challenge, so I took my dog out for 2.5 run/walk miles. We did a 4:1 run/walk approach, though we walked a couple of the steepest hills. 2 days down, 29 to go in the challenge.2 -

5K Lunch run - evening badminton1

Did 90 minutes (60 rowing and 30 LateralX) yesterday -- all pretty easy stuff and 60 today on the rower. Though today, something was off -- again -- with my HRM. It showed normal but I felt like I was working significantly harder than it was showing. It showed almost all the workout under 65% max and then right at the end spiked up 10 beats, which is where it felt like I was the entire workout.
Around 12K today. Planning a harder one tomorrow so hopefully the HRM blip won't hinder how hard I can go tomorrow. No biggie, I'll just play it by ear.1 -
I'm only on week 2 back in the gym. But this morning I did back and treadmill. It feels so amazing to be back!1
-

Around 20 minutes of yoga/stretch before breakfast.
6,831 meters rowing machine as 3x(2k on, 2' off/CD), easy pace, 2:32.9 and 19spm, focus on relaxing unnecessary muscles within adequate mechanics, Z3 & below.
26 minutes strength training, still light weights for conditioning reasons, but went to 3x10 on most sets rather than 2 x 10, increased weight on a couple. If things feel OK by next time, will start selectively increasing reps/weights.
Felt fatigued today for no obvious reason despite rest day Sunday, so put off the row/lift stuff until after 9PM, but finally convinced myself it wasn't optional. 🙄5 -
96 minutes on my stationary bike. 26 miles.

30 min. Elliptical at zone 3 and below, followed by my cautiously optimistic strength training routine.
Push-ups (I was able to do a lower incline today. I'll see how the shoulder feels tomorrow.)
Dumbell rows - very light weight
Planks and supermans with increased times.
So far, so good....3 -
Yesterday, I did an hour's yoga; a morning walk; an hour's climb on my home wall; and finally an evening walk. The climbing was good. I think I kept my HR between 120 and 140 for 70 minutes, so I did work. (The home wall is more like strength training than cardio, so I am happy with this.) My crimp strength was good; my dynos were ropey although I eventually got everything I went for.3
