What Was Your Work Out Today?

Just finished a popsugar 30 min standing cardio workout and then followed it up with a banded booty workout. I crawled at the end to get up as I wasn't expecting it to be that hard.

It's my rest day today but I'll list yesterday's work out routine.

Elliptical 25 minutes medium intensity
Weight lifting ten minutes (I don't log this as I cannot accurately calculate calories burned) for strength
Elliptical 10 minutes medium-high intensity

Yesterday: 15 miles of hiking in the Brecon Beacons, often without benefit of path*, including an estimated 3,200+ ft of ascent.
Today: A nice, gentle BodyBalance class. At my gym. Which is on top of a hill. FML.

*Apparently on one of those occasions there actually was a path, it was just that the leader had missed it and the one person who'd spotted it assumed there was a reason we weren't on it. But my sore ankles aren't bitter.

Friday - worked out 50 minutes (slower stuff) and in the last 10 minutes, my AirDyne Pro pedal snapped off -- the metal broke right in half. Was going slow, so I was lucky not to injure anything. But now I have to get Schwinn to tell me what to do to fix it (I think it's under warrantee still). They just don't make things like they used to! I didn't want the AD Pro, I wanted to Assault Bike, but it was my wife's choice. If I had to do it all over again now, I'd get the new Rogue Echo.

Sat - off day. Took the pups for an early AM walk.

Sunday - 90 minutes of slower cardio at the gym.

3.5 mi run

The standard row in a double, about 7k this time.

No singles out on the water we needed to keep an eye on this time, so we didn't row extra meters to stay on the water until they finished making the circuit. (The double's faster than a single, all other things equal; usually our double has an experience advantage, too, including steering a straighter course, vs. at least some of the singles. They're all progressing great, though. )

Had an "interesting" 6.5k row in an 8. Nothing to really write home about other than that I did manage to work on backing my blade in when we the boat was set (so when we were not rowing whole boat).

Reading between the lines of the bolded, I'm guessing what at least part of the "interesting" was.

You are correct, including with the "at least part of" bit. It's funny because I was so excited for today because I skipped sculling yesterday in favor of laying in bed. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and I have my private lesson on Wednesday (90 minutes!) - in the stable rec single even! I'll be able to actually work on feathering and squaring with my fingers.

Workout number two - done. Zwift's Chase the Breakaway workout from the Zwift Academy.

Apparently today is just full of equipment issues* as Zwift decided that keeping all of my sensors connected was a terrible idea. This was not an interference issue (my watch could still see all of the things), it was a Zwift issue. My ANT+ dongle also hadn't come disconnected. It took disconnecting and reconnecting my HR monitor, cadence sensor, power meter, and smart trainer to get everything working again. Like I said earlier, tomorrow is another day - though not a bike day

*Rowing's equipment issues were not related to the set of the boat and occured in both boats that we took out. Someone in the 4 dropped a spacer and their cox didn't have one in the kit they take out so we gave them one of our spares (that was in our cox's kit) and the foot stretchers in one of the seats in the 8 were wonky but apparently very fixable.
