I went round my little brother's for a climb on his garden wall.
It was good - I was in reasonable form. I felt terrible right up to when I started. The it all felt good, and fell into place.
We did a short (maybe 5 mile?) walk afterwards.1 -
Short 10 minute workout today.
Rowing - the latest usual 10 secs hard 20 sec off for 4 minutes x 2. Some decline sit-ups in between and at the end.
Yes, I'm on a decline sit-ups kick this weekend.2 -

@JessAndreia, I hope you'll trust that this is no kind of loaded/gotcha question (!😬!), just me being sort of a rowing nerd.
When you're doing these, are your "off" bits easy rowing, or not-rowing? I've done a similar style of interval in the past, usually in the format WU, 8 x (20" on, 10" easy), CD (i.e., the old-school Tabata), so I'm just curious how you're structuring yours. I'm sure it's challenging!
(I don't do decline sit-ups. I'm not sure I even *can* do decline sit-ups. Go, you! 🙂)1 -

Dang! Got me!

Completely rest, so not impressive. Not sure I'll switch to easy rowing as opposed to not-rowing as I feel like I need the rest to mentally and physically prepare for the all-out rowing bits. But hoping to be able to do 10 on 10 off (not-rowing) in the near future.1 -

There's not a single thing "lesser" or less impressive about that! Hard pieces are *hard*. And you're doing 8' of those intense intervals, besides. You're doing great.
(Like I said, this wasn't any kind of attempted "gotcha" or critique. I think you're doing good workouts, nicely varied, with some good intensity in the mix. Besides, I have no platform for criticizing others: I'm pretty much "all moderate, all the time" lately. 😆 And that's fine, too. Overall, I think it's a wonderful thing when an individual figures out what's fun, challenging, satisfying, creates the right progress for them . . . vs. maybe falling into some fad, or other people's expectations.)
Row on, and enjoy it! 🙂1 -

Thanks! And no worries, I didn't take your question that way at all.
I think your workouts are quite impressive, moderate or not. Many younger people wouldn't be able to keep up with you.1 -
Around a 40 minute easy row today, though it was hot, even in the AM. Also 20 on the Assault Bike and then swam this evening.2
-
3.1 mile walk
Planks 6 x 30 seconds
Isometric exercises 6 x 30 seconds1 -
4th April - leisurely dog walk
5th April - argument with a timber sleeper - garden project & an afternoon in A&E! 🙄
(Bonus - fish & chip takeaway for tea!)

10K row on the machine on the patio. It was 85 degrees, so it was nice to have a breeze at least. Managed, albeit was pretty slow, to keep the HR all under 73% max (140). Most of it was actually under 70% max.
Got one of those industrial floor fans coming this week for my weight gym in the garage. Going to need it!2 -
I got another cheeky dive in.
It was cold. Visibility varied from 20 cm to 5 metres. The water temperature was around 8 Centrigrade, the air temperature was lower. It started to snow as we went in. By buoyancy was good; my air consumption was low (12.8 litres per minute Surface Air Consumption.)
I went for a walk afterwards, getting around 30,000 steps in. (I am on the left.)

Chest day (3 sets of dumbbell bench press and pushups) and a lot of walking1
-
Still sick, phlegm city. 🤢

After a rest day yesterday, another round today of:
* 30' or so yoga/stretch/foam-roll. Feel a little stiff in the AM, and this gets the joints oiled up again. (Wondering if my thyroid meds need adjustment, though, since stiffness for me is a leading indicator sometimes.)
* 5.11mi walk, a little faster at 4.1mph average this time.
* 30' stationary bike, easy pace.2 -
30 mins of core work today. Doing legs 3days/week is too taking. back to 21

Fit Father Project - Phase 2 - HIIT training on the Dreadmill for 35 mins2
