Hitting legs on consecutive days??? Not sure if that makes you crazy, or a hard-core person to be feared!

Elliptical, one hour, intervals - 819 calories

Glad today was cardio day, as I got my COVID booster shot last night, and woke up to my arm stiff and sore as all get out, not sure I could trust it lifting. Hopefully it'll be back to normal by tomorrow morning.

Hit the gym for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday, took it relatively easy with a mixture of some old and new exercises. Still ached this morning regardless! But went back at it today with a focus on core. Tried Copenhagens for the first time, definitely worked my core! Increased weights on my other exercises by 1kg too, not loads but all helps!

I'm retired, and don't have access to a gym. I work out at home with YouTube videos - cardio, yoga strength, Pilates. I use resistance bands and hand weights for strength training. I rotate workouts depending on my schedule and how I feel that day.

Still dealing with extremely ill cat so sleep and free time etc. iffy, so yesterday only underdesk elliptical 26:35 (290.5 cals, 12.03 niles) and arm bike 3:47 (24 cals, about 174 revolutions).

Weather continues unsafe/unpleasant for rowing (wind! lightning!).

So, more mostly-Z3 stationary bike today, 8-point-something pseudo miles at 109W average (33' including CD), while watching video instruction about botanical watercolor. 😆 It'll have to do.

Ballet barre - also known as stretch from hell. Those of you who use a foam roller. Worse! Lol

Back/pull day.

Did 1 warmup set of pendlay rows and my hammies (still sore from leg day) decided to tighten up on me, so I had to pull a mulligan.

3x12 cable curls

I'm contemplating calling end of routine on-water group rowing season.

Today, 35 minutes stationary bike plus 3 minutes cool down. Mostly Z3, a little Z4, around 5 minutes lower than that at the start.

Unless I do something tomorrow (Sunday), which would be my normal rest day in a more typical week, this week will have fewer intensity minutes (under the Garmin definition) than any other week in the past 12 months. I'm only at 140 at this point, not even the basic 150. It's some combination of bad weather so last-minute changed plans, disorganization over making alternate plans, pure laziness, and Fall doldrums. Ugh.

I have been active recently, but poor at logging.

Yesterday was a scuba dive on South coast. 27m deep, 45 minutes with 7 miutes deco. It was pitch black with loads of crud in the water.

This made all the local critters behave really differently. Two lobsters came running towards our torches, for example. I think they thought it was night.

I had been on "inactive" status at my gym since April. I call it "active" status - active enough I don't have time to get to the gym. I started early this year since I spent the entire month of April below the rim of Grand Canyon on a private raft trip with seven other people rowing four big rafts. Then it was on to hiking, disc golf, canoeing, kayaking, and mushroom hunting. Now with darker days, it's time to get back after it.

I'm easing into it of course. So easy that my first visit was just to check on my locker and sit in the sauna. Yeah. I know. I went back, and I was stoked to see that there was almost nobody in the pool, so I swam 1000 yards. It felt good, and I could have swam another 1000 pretty easily, but I really do want to ease back in so I don't overdo it. Sooner or later I'll get back to strength work - I think I need it.

Weekly horse ride today, 50 minutes with about 10 minutes of trotting, the rest in walk.

laughingdakini1

yesterday elliptical underdesk 27.77 miles (68:04, 670.5 cals) and arm bike 12:44 (414 revolutions, 59 cals). I hope to get a little/lot more arm bike in, since that tones the whole thing since I do it with my legs up off the ground and it works abs, core everything--life is giving me excuses to wimp out but I am trying!

Push/pull combo workout today for the 2nd of each for the week. Lowered volume to get in quality sets of my main 4 exercises.

2x10 Pendlay Rows
2x12 DB Bench
2x8 Weighted Pull-ups
2x12 DB shoulder press
2x superset of Cable Curls and seated machine skullcrushers

AnnPT77

Repeat of 35 minutes stationary bike with 3 minutes cool down, 24' Z3, 8.5' Z4, remainder below. This took me up to 213 Garmin intensity minutes for the week, no longer worst week of the past year (more than 3 other weeks this year, tied with two others).

Also sent out an email ending my regular on-water rowing group for the season. Going to have to accept the rowing machine into rotation again soon.

It took about two years but I finally lost all the needed weight. Right now, I want to maintain 133 pounds and gain muscle. I'm taking it slow so I won't overwhelm my muscles and stop working out. I have a history of giving up. But I keep trying. This is what I did today:

Full body workout at the gym, started incorporating copenhagens which are killing my core but in a good way. Also upped weights as of last week and it's tough! Seem to have tweaked something in my knee so might rest legs for a few days.

Leg day:

Squats
1x5 at last week’s working set weight for 8.
2x8 with 20 more lbs. So 2 “working sets” but that set to 5 was pretty tough. Going hard on my calorie deficit, so something had to give on volume or intensity.

3x12 Leg curls

3x12 Leg extensions
