    Rowing machine 4 x (2K on, 2' off) in two sessions = about 38' actual rowing not counting CD, trying to get it in efficiently while getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner/drive. Various tech focuses during pieces (heels down first, quick arms, . . . and a certain amount of "just get it done, already". Must be Holiday Challenge season, eh? ;) ).

    Awfully good motivation for me to go to all of the coach rows. I know where I'll be at 5:30 tomorrow morning (and it isn't a store).

    It's Thanksgiving here and my gym was closed, so I did a Hasfit video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytan6kalv5A.

    I work out 3 to 4 days a week trying to fit and one more day but I do a 2 mile walk indoors do you think that is enough

    Enough for what? There's no shame in gradually increasing fitness time. You are probably more likely to stick with it too.

    Coached indoor row - working on negative splits (with rests in between and a stroke rate between 18-22)
    10 min steady state
    8 min ss -4
    8 min ss -6
    6 min ss -10
    4 min ss -15 (this is where it started getting "fun")
    2 min ss -20 (I can do anything for 2 min right?)
    1 min ss -30

    It's impressive how much noise 16 people breathing heavily while not talking at all can make. We were also allowed to choose any stroke rate for the last two intervals (because really...). I was able to hit all of my splits but it became apparently 8min into the 1st interval that I should have been pushing harder. But hey, now I know for next time.

    I am veering off the actual topic a little but wondered did you all do a lot of exercise (running, weight lifting, etc) before you got on your weight loss/gain journey?

    Yes, but as an adult it was broken up by numerous knee surgeries and limited by the state of my maltracking patellas before my two most recent surgeries. Rowing is new for me as of this past summer, but cycling is what clued me in, years ago, that maybe I should see an orthopedic surgeon because my knees should not be hurting when I'm riding my bike.

    Rowed on the water for about an hour and a half, this time with an advanced boat. Eventually we got hemmed in by the fog and had to go back to the dock but I made a lot of progress technique wise.

    Yes, I did about the same amount of exercise I do now. I started being active in my mid-40s, after cancer treatment. I increased activity level gradually. I lost 50-some pounds at age 59-60, after being obese for decades (and staying obese while regularly and vigorously active most days of the week). I'm 63 now, maintaining weight, and about the same exercise schedule I've had for a dozen or so years.

    On threads like this one, people who feel most enthusiastic, confident or proud of their workouts are more likely to post, I believe; and people who are new to exercise, feeling tentative about what they're doing, or are maybe not having fun yet, are less likely to post. This isn't absolute, of course. But I think it's important to realize that a thread like this probably isn't representative of the average of everyone here, let alone the average of the general public; it's the average of those on MFP forums who are willing to type a blurb about their workout.

    Saturday was rest day so I hiked our old pup 2.5 miles at a sniff every tree pace. It was great to be out in the snow letting him explore.
