    they're both monsters in their own way. the Tabata is 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off...Friday fight is all moves are 1 minute...back to back to back...only 2-30 second water breaks!!!

    Hey there kids...Just wondering if anyone knows how to calculate calories burned skiing? There is no way the MFP conversion is correct. I am an advanced skier who spent the day with my 4,7 and 11 year old skiing. Not out of breath for a second today but there was a little thigh burn (a very little). Any advice?

    Hi cool kids. @TmacMMM do you row outside? Am so impressed with all your rowing. That's quite a workout.

    So, i tried suspension yoga today for the first time. Was there for 3 hours! LOVED IT. At the start of class we were told that we would not be doing a full inversion on the first night, but sure enough, we were doing full inversion. It is the neatest thing. Signed up for classes. :)

    @sdereski - Not yet. I've been working with a coach on the erg to get the technique down and will learn to row on the water this summer. Really looking forward to it!

    Went skiing with my bookend kids last night. Youngest decided to board so spent the night on the greens but great to be outside.

    @bringbackthejoy that is a really hard one to estimate. Personally I would equate skiing to walking if you are advanced for the groomers and then jogging (or sprinting :) ) for powder or moguls. Funny thing is the better you are the less calories you probably burn. Harvard did a study that say 223 per half hour for a 155lb person but that sounds high to me.

    @tojo_73 thanks so much. It all seems pretty high to me too but I like your math on that. The chairlifts, the lunch break and kids make it pretty hard to estimate. I'm going to say my estimate yesterday for 300 calories for 4 hours with kids is maybe a little low but at least I'm not overestimating. I'll log today's 5 hours at around 450. It's hot out

    Hi Kids, I'm enjoying the tapering process while in Florida this week. The warm temps, outdoor pool swims and easy runs are helping my legs recover. Hoping to dodge the worst of the snow when I return home next week. Counting down to race day.

    was gonna put a dent in "Rise of the Tomb Raider" (I think I'm almost at the end), but Amazon sent me the EU version of "The Last Guardian" (on sale last week! $19.00!!)...for "reasons" I guess? had to make sure it would play on a US system, so...

    HIIT class done yesterday. Instructor switched it up so sore today which is okay since today is waaaay too cold to go out running (or at least I've convinced myself is it :) ) So just a relax day today

    Got my first bike in since November. Not a bad ride, not a good ride either but not too bad.
