    Two days as a co-lead for a touring kayak class. Day one was a LOT of flipping the boat and using different techniques to get back in, with and without assistance. Day two was a tour with a flood tide into a stiff wind. The students enjoyed the class, but we wore 'em out.

    Today taking seniors on a paddling trip to a reservoir. The hardest part is probably loading and unloading all the kayaks and gear, but it will be another very nice day.

    Today's work out:
    Sit ups - 2 sets - 50 reps
    Push ups (assited with a little 6-in-1 Multi-Trainer) - 5 sets - 10 reps
    Push ups (inclined) - 5 sets - 10 reps
    tricep presses (using the same machine for resistance) - 2 sets - 50 reps
    Squats - 2 sets - 50 reps

    Biggest struggle is the press ups for me and it's taken time to build up to where i've gotten.

    Walking the dog--10 min before the rain started.
    Gym:
    40 min. walking on the treadmill at a 3.2 mph pace, though I ran at 5.0 mph for 1 min. of that just to see how it felt.
    20 min. various body weight movements (V-sits; reverse sit-ups; superman stretches; hip thrusts, etc.)

    Climbing again. An odd session, I became obsessed with a powerful v4 slab. I got it early on with a French start, and the quite quickly worked out how to do the start. (You are supposed to be completely still on the starting holds; a French start is when one is dynamic.)

    However, putting it all together took a while. I sent it after about 30 goes.

    I've not been getting in workouts much, kind of struggling with fatigue of mystery origin, possibly related to posterior lower rib pain of mystery origin, but not sure. (Lots of Xrays, CTs, more - no insights.)

    Finally back on the river for the first time this season, rowing bow in the double. Went well, not over-tired from that, thankfully. We did the usual club to bridge, to another bridge, back to club route, a circuit of just under 7k. Nothing fancy, just steady state, trying to knock the Winter rust off our technique. Went OK, especially for a first seasonal outing.

    Tonight, supervised open rowing session at the club. No row for me, but carried some boats.

    Loading boats and gear on a trailer. Unloading said boats and gear. Moving that. Helping people adjust boats and get into 'em. Paddling a few miles. Getting out for lunch, getting back in, and getting in a few more miles. Loading boats. Unloading boats. Not too much cleaning. Then a nice walk with a friend. Now... sleep after three long days.

    I did upper body at the gym today. All machines.

    Incline and decline press, overhead press, chest press, pec fly, two kinds of lat pull down (overhand wide gip vs underhand close grip, they aren't called lat pull down but I am blanking on the actual names), a seated row and another similar but different machine. Also bicep curl machine and tricep dips. Oh, and also an ab machine where I kneel on a padded thing and twist at the hips

    All 3x10

    Lower Body

    BB Hip Thrust 4x10
    One-Leg Press 4x10 <superset> Leg Press Calf Extend 4x15
    Roman Chair Knee-Ups 4x20

    Felt good hitting the gym immediately after waking, rather than having to wait until after the work day was complete and competing with other post-work gym goers for equipment.

    As far as I know, they're called lat pulldowns, just with variable grips. What makes you think they're named something else?

    I did Day 1 of a scuba course. I am learning sidemount. It went alright. The set trimmed very nicely; I did the skills well enough (including taking tanks off and putting them back on.)

    They had some other name in the machine, I think.

    I guess the lat pulldown could have been called cable pulldown, but it's the same muscles worked regardless.

    You guys are all so impressive with your weight reps, paddling, and scuba.

    My much more humble gym workout today:
    16 min. exercise bike while watching NCIS solve crime. :)
    5 min. quad stretches
    16 min. of walking across campus and back from my car
    much earlier: the usual walk with my dog

    I'm trying to do weights/ bodyweight stuff 2x a week, which will probably be Tuesdays and Saturdays. Today was the first of that routine. Nothing too exciting or heavy, because I'm just getting back into it, but it consists of squats, lunges, planks, calf raises, deadlifts, bicep curls, and overhead presses. I'll change/ add more as I progress, I'm sure.

    But @DiscusTank5, the fact that you're rehabbing from a very, very difficult passage in your life, working hard at it, doing a variety of things, making such good progress . . . I think that's REALLY impressive.

    Back on the river today, rowing bow of the double with one of my favorite double partners: Usual distance, just a jot under 7k. It was a little choppy with some rollers at our turning point near the West-most bridge, almost close to scary but not quite. Otherwise, a beautiful day for a row. There was a quad of other rowing buddies out with us, with one of the club's newer folks in 2-seat, so they were going a bit slower to help her get accustomed to synchronizing with others.

    A little walk later, but not much.

    Upper Body

    Bench Press 3x10
    DB Bench Press 3x10
    BB Row 4x10 (2 sets pronated, 2 sets supinated)
    Pulldown 3x10 (1 set each hands over, under, neutral-grip)
    Face Pull 3x10
    Cable Lateral Raise 3x10
    Preacher Curl 3x10 (3-second negatives)
    Cable Pushdown 3x10 (5-second negatives)
    Perloff Press 3x15sec

    Been weeks since I did this workout, been doing a full-body most weeks due to work requirements. But this week I get to lift four times again, so dusted off this bad boy and went to work. Tomorrow will be my second leg day of the week, looking forward to it.

    I finished my scuba course. We only had one skill left to tick off (a blindfolded shutdown, which was actually a doddle.) So I am now a qualified sidemount diver with shiny kit; it worked well and hopefully I can use it soon.

    I went for a climb afterwards. I started of really badly, finding a v2 in my warm up I couldn't do. I then actually got quite a lot of v3 and v4s, so I came back to the v2 and found it wasn't too bad. I was trying a heel hook on my failed attempts; using less finesse and more brute force and ignorance solved the issue.

    Today I did a little over 18,000 steps and a Zumba class. I typically try to get 10,000-20,000 steps a day, of I'm not doing Zumba I'm now doing 30 minutes of bike as well as my steps and if it is a Zumba day I do my steps and Zumba. But I do Zumba two-three times a week.

    Legs today:

    Leg press 3x10 (130lbs)
    Calf raise 3x10 (110lbs)
    Leg curl 3x10 (105lbs)
    Leg extension 3x10 (65lbs)
    Led adduction 3x10 (135lbs)
    Leg abduction 3x10 (135lbs)
    Abdominal (crunch style) 3x10 (125lbs) plus 1x10 (105lbs, which was too light)

    I've only been going to the gym for like 3 months and the leg extension machine kills me, as you can see by its weight comparative to the rest, lol.

    Thanks Ann--I appreciate the encouragement.
    And @watts6151 -- I had to look up Wesley Vissers. That guy is a mountain! Geez.

    Last night after a parents' meeting at the school, I stopped by the gym for 15 min. on the rowing machine. Today's workout, if you can call it that, has consisted of a couple of walks in the park with my dog.
