This morning I hit a one hour yoga class at the gym. Going to do some crazy housecleaning, wall washing, laundry taking the stairs 4 stories from the laundry room in the basement to our apartment and some furniture rearranging is going to happen today too.
Appears to be 10-30 watts more generous on power output with higher power getting more generous. Think that means I need to do an FTP test (basically a fitness test on a bike that's really hard). Not looking forward to that.
New spin bike is smooth though. Also made to be able to stand up. Yay.
I missed my Friday workout for my dog, Toby's, first water therapy session for his bad hip. It was a blast watching him swim for the first time. So worth missing the workout for.
Yesterday was my planned rest (but Saturdays are always busy -- likely walked 4 miles including walking the dogs with Toby in his new red dog carrier).
Today was 90 minutes of cardio, fairly easy steady state work. 30 on the rower, 20 on the Stairmaster, 10 Endless Rope Machine, 10 on a Spinner Bike and 15 on the Stepper (different from the Stairmaster, which has the actual stairs). Did a pretty nice job, overall, at keeping it under 150 HR (78% of max).
8.6k in a single at a sculling clinic that one of my sculling coaches gave at the boat club he stores his single at. The water was glassy and it was the most confident I've ever been in a single (I was in a club single using my coach's oars...with handles that are too big for me, but such is life). If that was the water I got to row on on a regular basis, I would try to row in a single every day.
The clinic was more like an unstructured semi-private lesson, but I was totally fine with it becuase my main priority is getting time in a single and gaining confidence.

I've not had an ice bath before. It was cold. I lasted 2 minutes, and immersed myself fully underwater.
I can feel a difference it's pretty cool

Then spent a few hours in the kitchen meal prepping for the week. I'm beat!
PiYo is absolutely fab, I get bored doing just yoga or pilates, but with piyo I'm challenged enough.
Omg though the burpees and power rounds. I was like wtf burpees.in the middle.of a leg workout
