Today’s workouts: 15 minute walk in the backyard then a 3 mile run...hoping to still walk a mile or two out back later...1

Yoga, breath work, dead hangs and handstand pushups...0

Over lunch a 48 minute workout, consisting of 12 intervals of 4 minutes each, alternating exercises until time up, without breaks
10x kettlebell clean and press alt with 40 step ups
5x reverse pushup (under table) alt with 10 situps
10x kettlebell chest press alt with 20x glute bridges
10x pushup alt with supermans
10x kettlebell bent over row alt with leg lift/one-legged romanian
10x kettlebell overhead triceps extension alt with leg lifts
repeat one more time
And I just did a 40 minute stretching session. Hip flexors and glutes were rather tight today, but just ~10cm to front split. Not too bad considering I could not even touch the ground about 3 weeks ago.2 -
Been spending the past few days a bit unmotivated with weights so lots of cardio. Yesterday I did not carb up enough for a great leg day today, but I also biked for a bit, which gives some resistance, right?!? Ironically, although not enough carbs, I’ve been having way too much fiber, and my tummy tells me so! I’m talking for the past 2 days 72+g. Not good. Back to white rice.0

Nice! I’m about as flexible as a cutting board so jealous!! But I think I will be adding stretching into my nightly routine for legs and glutes.0 -
52 min brisk pace walk outside (average pace 4 mph)
35 chin ups (first time doing 15 in a row)
105 push ups (both chin ups and push ups are in sets to failure.)1 -
My virtual indoor rowing club announced this week that we have to do a half marathon row this month, so I decided to switch around my days and start training for it now. I've made Sundays my AT (anaerobic threshold) day, instead of Fridays. I'll take it easy on Monday and Tuesday now and then go hard on Wed and Sundays (light days also on Thur and Friday).
This was the hardest I've pushed an hour in a while. Actually didn't feel bad at all. Handle slipped out of my hands twice with all the sweat so I toweled off and just started back up. Might have done the half today but went out too fast and was doing it fasted. I'd have to eat a bit first before I attempt it. I might do 15K next Sunday then do it the following week (the full 21,097 meters).
When I was getting ready to start, my dogs kept barking -- mule deer near the fence.

I've always been somewhat flexible, but always had very tight muscles due to being the kid who couldn't run with the other kids, and then just preferred to play/read/etc by myself. Stretching the hip flexors really is key I think, plus the hamstrings to get anywhere with regards to flexibility. Also read up on how to do exercises properly. Something like downward dog is brilliant if done properly: if you bend over forward do it from the hips and not the back, and try to point the tail bone upwards. Doesn't matter if you only manage a bit at first. 2 -
Confused this morning as a Dup Thread was started.0

I keep saying I'm going to lift more but last night was tough to do. We're not even talking major weights, very light. But with all the rowing volume, it's been tough.
Last night I did 100 pushups, 50 KB swings (half with 30 lbs, the other half with the 25kg one -- 52 lbs), 50 weighted deep squats with around 35 lbs, 100 shoulder pressups (each side).
Today was an hour easy row at 5AM. Never had an issue before with the handle slipping out of my hands but it did 3 times this morning. But in six years, I've never rowed outside this much. My hands get very sweaty and you're supposed to keep a very loose grip. Just frustrating a bit. I guess something I'll have to adjust to as the Tucson Summers heat up. Some of my workouts will end up into the high 80s, even at 5 AM. Maybe I'll break down and take it inside eventually. We'll see.
Around 900 calories this AM in an hour -- kept the HR mostly in check at under 150. UT2/UT1 workout (easy to moderately easy is UT2, moderate is UT1).3 -
WOD- 4 rounds, 45 second rest between
-15 Russian KB swings
-20 split squats
-30 double unders

3 minutes alternating 15 tuck-ups, hallow hold
———————————————————->
2 miles at varied speeds on treadmill with incline.
Great Day!!2 -
Its tree day!!

An hour easy row today, again. Felt good. Handle only slipped out of my hands once with the sweat. When you do a moderately easy row like this, you look at consistency of form, data, consistent rate and try not to let the HR drift up too much. I did well on all these things today so it was a satisfying, yet painfully boring session.
@big_fn_rob - please tell me those are steel toed shoes?? You're ridiculously strong.1 -

I'm in the first week of reduced training volume. Yesterday was a true rest day, so I went turkey hunting with my son. It turned into an unplanned "open water swim" for me when I lost my balance and fell into a muddy creek while trying to sneak along a ditch to stay out of sight of a wary turkey.
Today's workout won't be as exciting, unless I fall off my bike while riding on the trainer.
Big_fn_rob, That is awesome.

Thanks! And you know I never thought about toe protection. Now you have me thinking lol2 -
Wanted to run 7, maybe 8km. The running gods were not with me. While I ran my last 5k at a similar pace with a fairly relaxed HR near the end I had to stop running as I was at 85-90HRmax for too long already and could not go on past 5.3km. Oh well.. one of those days. The previous fast run was interrupted because my HR didn't come up and then suddenly dropped, and this one because it was too high, and felt like a fast, tough run.1

Hangboarding day.
I got under 4 hours sleep and felt terrible. The hangboarding was brilliant fun. There are many things I will never understand....
The workout was:
Dynamic stretches; Burpees; Band stuff to warm up
Jug scapular pull ups; jug hangs and then short (5 second) repeaters on the 21mm ledge with 4 finger half crimp as more warm up
Loads of 10 second repeaters on the 21mm ledge half crimp
5 second repeaters 3 finger open crimp, 21mm ledge.
5 second repeaters one hand in 21 mm ledge one on 15mm ledge (4 finger half crimp)
5 second repeaters 15mm ledge (4 finger half crimp)
1 rep 3 finger open crimp 15mm
60 kgs finger curls
Hanging leg raises
Yoga
As I said, it was brilliant fun. 2 and a half hours in total.
For reference, I couldn't use the 15mm ledge at all 6 weeks ago.
I also did 16,000 steps and didn't leave the house!😀1 -
Hour ride on the trainer tonight. 15 min warm up power/cadence drills, then 2 x (18 min @ 90% threshold/3@ recovery power) then cool down. Trying to keep up some intensity in workouts to maintain fitness, given reduced volume in May.1

Full body and the post pump view is an amazing 😉 feeling.1

Almost 6 miles of walking total. I took my normal daily walk this morning for half of it and then this evening I went for another walk to forage some mulberries and ended up walking another almost 3 miles. I burned quite a bit of calories but didn’t exhaust or hurt myself and I feel great still.

HIIT workout today. Tried something different. At 5 AM, the brain isn't caught up to the body, so I started cold with no dynamic warmup (not a great idea, good way to injure yourself). I'm OK, but should have started with a slow row just to warm up.
Instead, hopped right into 500m rowing sprints, then 15 either heavy KB swings, 15 decline pushups (with the feet elevated to make them harder) and 15 pressups each arm, repeat. Got to five before I was dying. Was shooting for at least six with a goal of 8. After five of them, I did 25 minutes moderate work with a few sprints on the rower (around 6000 meters) and then ended with 15 more heavy KB swings and Farmer Carries back with the weights (100 lbs or so) back to the garage.
Nearly 900 calories for the hour.2
