I went to Mixed Martial Arts class today (I study Tang Soo Do, Kickboxing, Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, and boxing there), 45 minutes of high-intensity cardio! May be intense but it's worth the pain and sweat!
You guys are exhausting me I just got back into rowing on an erg after 25 (?) years and can last about 12 minutes. I love swimming, but I'm so slow.
I'll contribute my workout though (mostly because I usually workout in the afternoon, but I wanted to get my Friday workout in early, so I got up at 4:45...): 45 minute weight routine, 60 min water x class. I feel fantastic now, but I'm wondering what 2:00 is going to look like this afternoon!!

Erging is exhausting - or at least it can be. I was significantly more more worn out this morning than after my half marathon erg last Friday. My first time erging after not doing so for six months was, less than enjoyable. I'd imagine it'd be much worse after 25 years not doing so!
Still weak, but am over my cold.
15 min stretch in the morning
30 min stretch/warm-up at the gym
5 min rowing machine + burpees
60 min with personal trainer
10 min cool down

@girlwithcurls2, 12 minutes is great: If you enjoy it, keep it up, and both endurance and speed will improve - probably quite rapidly, as you've done it in the past, and are otherwise active. A lot of us on-water rowers break up the erg sessions into pieces of varying lengths with breaks, anyway, as you may know, so that's always an option. You may also already know this, but there are lots of great training tips and workout suggestions on the C2 website (https://www.concept2.com/indoor-rowers/training).
15,600ish meters rowing in an 8, rainy but not pouring. I'm still cold, but as one of my sculling coaches who just happened to be in my boat this morning said, "it could be way colder". The real issue is that my face ended up getting really cold which I don't think anything short of a balaclava could help.
No bootcamp today so I did parkrun. Disappointing overall time, combination of legs being tired from a week of being beasted and the start of an IBS flare up. But there were positives, I didn't stop or walk even on the hill, I didn't hate it (well I maybe hated the hills) and I finished strong.
