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.
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!
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..
First a 15+ minute warm-up and active stretching because I'm no longer 20 years old and can't jump right into it 😊
Chest/Back Day 1 of 2:
1.) 5 supersets of bench press followed by wide grip T-Bar rows - 12 reps each
2.) 5 supersets of incline bench press followed by weighted chin-ups - 12 reps each
2.) 5 supersets of dumbbell pullovers 12 reps each followed by cable crosses 20 reps each
4.) Hanging leg raises - 100 reps
Around 7.2k rowing bow in the quad this morning, temp around 40F and overcast but nice flat water.
8672m rowing machine this evening, as 4 x 2k (with row in/out & CD as usual) at an easy steady-state li'l ol' lady suitable pace in the mid 2:30s on the pieces, and around 22spm, all under 70% heart rate reserve.
Today was just cardio, but YESTERDAY I did most of my leg work 4x12,10,8,6 but on leg press I did a total of 200 reps. And paying for it today.

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 . . . .".

Note..... 2014 outback requires engine lifted off mounts to access the plugs. 🙄

First real “cardio” after knee surgery. I went 4 miles really. First 1/2 didn’t get recorded. 🙄
