What Was Your Work Out Today?

Took 10 days off to have a deload week as I was on holiday. Did make use of the hotel "gym" once and went for a casual horse ride but no other structured exercise.
Before we came home I came down with a really bad bout of food poisoning that's still affecting me 6 days later so I haven't been back to the gym yet. I managed a 45 minute horse ride today, just walk and trot but that's the most I've managed. On the road to recovery but not quite ready for gym yet.
I've also somehow managed to pick up a knee strain - no idea how as I definitely haven't done anything to warrant it happening but here we are! Hopefully it'll go along with the food poisoning!3 -
Yesterday did 82:43 minutes of underdesk elliptical bike while reading (841.0 cals, 34.83 miles) and 8:18 mins 'arm bicycle' (on similar underdesk bike on table) for 44 cals. and 309 revolutions. The arm bike thing does MIRACLES for core toning and abs, no joke. I keep my legs off the floor when I do them and the extra weight and muscle tension helps bigtime. These are so helpful for being sort of housebound due to health and life circumstances. I've done more than those amounts today but have not finished for the day yet--I pretty much do them to mild pain or exhaustion or other physical cue that any more would be too much, and it has been fine even with old in juries and being a mature age and not thin.3

Workout with my 12 yo.
I did:
3x8 squats
3x12 leg extensions
3x12 seated leg curls
Him:
3x8 deadlifts (pretty light, first time he’s done conventional deadlifts. We’ve done them with a trap bar previously)
3x10 DB Bench
3x10 DB Shoulder press
3x10 Pendlay Rows
2xfailure/form breakdown on lat prayers into machine rows
3x12 Leg Extensions
3x12 seated leg curls
He had an awesome session doing a bunch of new lifts and picking up on form quickly. His deadlifts are really clean (we tried multiple ways with lighter weight and he settled on an over/over grip sumo style).3 -
I've been very distracted and lackadaisical lately, due to having an active substitute teaching schedule and lots of other social stuff happening. That said, at least I have managed to work with my trainer 2 mornings per week at 5:30am (ugh) before school.
Today is a day off from teaching due to local elections. With the forecast calling for 65 degree temps this afternoon, we'll squeeze in an outdoor bike ride.3 -

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.4 -
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!2

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.5
