    I did an hours Hiit class and a an hour of yoga afterwards. It was great! But how do you add hiit into your diary? How do I calculate calories burned?

    HIIT is an exercise pacing strategy (high intensity intervals), not an exercise. A person can do HIIT on a bike, HIIT running, HIIT on a rowing machine, etc. You add it to your diary as the exercise(s) it is. A lot of classes or videos called "HIIT" are either circuit training (high rep/low weight strength training) or calisthenics (burpees, jumping jacks, etc.). Add the latter as "circuit training" or "calisthenics".

    Erg'd at school - I have too much homework to go to the men's practice and I was already on campus so I just did their workout. My splits are getting considerably lower. I was about to type that I feel like the machine was somehow malfunctioning, but then I looked at my log and, no, I am just gradually getting faster.

    10 min warm up then 10x3:00/2:00 rest. My lowest average split was the last interval and ended up as 1:56.7. My initial plan was go just use that as a cool down, and then I remember that, at practice, that would be a "give everything, you have" interval and then we'd end up with a 5 min cool down...that and inevitably the person next to me would have an average split that is 10 plus seconds faster than mine while also being old enough to be my father (so around AnnPT's age give or take 5 years depending on the person) - we do have younger men in the club, but we're in the minority.

    One hour on Air Dyne Pro (Assault Bike). 233 Watt average sustained (around 1007 calories). I've done this 3 Thursdays in a row. Today was the first time I backtracked a bit. This tied the first time I did it but wasn't as strong as last week. Thinking about doing just 30 or 40 minutes next week as a recovery week of sorts. Not sure I can do this weekly. It's insanely draining. Even though I've been really watching my LSDs (keeping them easier and really controlled), this might be too hard to do weekly.

    I have been really proud of myself keeping the LDSs mind numbingly boring.

    10 miles / 30:38 / 318 calories

    I forced myself to stay at 60rpm at level 12. Started increasing the level the last 5 miles until I hit 25, still capping at 60 rpm. Good ride, if slow feeling. Average split time is good overall still.

    8 miles tomorrow and done with this week’s 50.

    25 minutes on the Stairmaster and 15 minutes on the Rower. Both were super easy but shouldn't have rowed. The back is still not ready to go back to it yet. I'm better but not fully healed yet. Had to go the gym and cancel my membership with our upcoming move and hate their bikes, so I got on the rower knowing I shouldn't just yet.

    Average Watts around 140 today for both machines.
