Veteran's Day morning session with the legendary Team Body Project:
- "Walking Cardio Evolve"
- "Boxing Resistance Express"
- "H2O Refresh"
Happy, Blessed Veteran's Day!! Thank you to those of you who have served, who are serving, and thank your loved ones who have served and are in the service. God bless you all, courageous heroes.1 -
Legs: squats, weighted lunges, deadlifts. 62 mile road bike ride. It was a good leg day.1

Update: Tragically was sent to the hospital and now a neurologist to see what this back pain is about. Sigh*2

Oh no!!
I am so sorry you are in pain.
Try not to be discouraged.
I am praying that not only you heal soon, but that you are in the most capable and graceful hands, and the neurologist figures it out. (:2 -
I worked out like a beast yesterday doing 95 minutes of circuit training, so today was an active "rest day." Squeezed in 35 minutes of ab/core workout. 💪1

A countryside walk in deep mud down to the waterfalls and back. Only 2 miles but it was nice to be down there. My boots are filthy now 😒3

Ironically, the doc was like 'pls continue to lift weights, we don't want you to become any weaker!!'2 -
Another 5K row for me today, followed by 30 minutes on the LateralX. Rowing was all under 75% HR max (though that's way too high considering the DF was really low, I'm just not in rowing shape yet) and the LateralX was nice and easy stuff -- all under 70% max. Around 700 calories burned.1

Friday the 13th Morning Session:
a repeat of Team Body Project's "Essentials Segments".
**I am thinking I'll rotate through each session successively, doing one every few days of the other Team Body Project cardio/circuit workouts, and just repeat the entire Essentials plan over and over again. I like that the "Essentials" workouts devote an equal amount of time (about 15 minutes each) to cardio, resistance, and abdominal/core exercises. I am hoping that doing these Essentials workouts regularly (starting at at least 2 times per week) will help me to keep my core engaged and form good as I keep doing the other sessions that are more cardio-focused on the other days of the week.1 -
Saturday -- another chilly, sunny Autumn day!!
I started the day with my ritual morning Team Body Project session: today's choice was "Real Start Evolve PT 5".
Then I went on a 2-mile outdoor "cool-down" walk (slower pace today....😖).
I went on another short 1-mile walk around the block in the early afternoon as my meal of "egg white floofs" baked in the oven.1 -
180 min's hiking hills with 30# pack2

My dad collapsed on Thursday, and my mum took him to hospital. He has low sodium in blood, and the hypothesis is that the cause is oesophageal cancer.
I did an hour of yoga on Thursday. Then I climbed - it was a very poor session.
I did leg day on Friday, building up to 3 sets of 10 squats, 80 kgs; and 3 sets of 10 deadlift, 100 kgs. I am new to sets of 10 - they seem pretty brutal.
I visited my little brother yesterday, with a vague aim of climbing on his outdoor wall. It rained, so we did a 7 or 8 mile walk instead.
I did an hour of yoga today. I then climbed. It was a really good session, my best for a long time. I will do a 9 mile walk later today.4 -

Best wishes for good results and speedy healing from the surgery, @JimDew. Frustrating to be off the workouts for a while, I know from experience . . . but I'm sure you'll find some creative ways to get back into it, even with some limitations, once cleared to do *something*.
@drmwc, so sorry to hear about your dad! That's very frightening, but I'm hoping it still could turn out to be something less severe. My husband had oesophageal cancer, so I can understand the concern. Good for you, sticking with your routine even with this stress. Sending strength to your whole family!1 -

Yes, best wishes for the both of you. I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad, Matt. I hope it's not what they think.
Did a nice 4 X 8 workout on Friday (Anaerobic Threshold workout) -- first two on the rower at around 2:08 pace or 2:09 pace and the next two on the Assault Bike and LateralX.
Today was just an hour easy steady state cardio with 30 minutes on the rower. Longest continuous row I've had in a while. Really slow but really low DF and concentrating on keeping HR under 70% of max.1 -
An hour walk on flat and hilly terrain aka my neighborhood. Not sure when to begin lifting weights. I build muscle easily. Drop weight at a slowish pace.1

Sunday morning with *drumroll, please* TEAM BODY PROJECT!!!! (I hope I haven't caused anyone to start rolling their eyes at the words "Team Body Project". They're just so rad, folks -- it'd be a terrible shame if my repetitive mention of them turns people away. You'd be missing out!!
Anyway....)
Morning session was a third go at "Totally Cardio".2 -
@mytyglotz -- nothing wrong with repetition. It's more important for consistency. Doesn't hurt, at all, to change things up on occasion, but I do mostly 3 machines and the same lifting workout weekly, so I'm pretty humdrum as well!
Today was 30 minutes again on the rower (very easy, all under 70% max HR -- low DF @ 22 SPM/2:32 or 2:33 pace or so). Then 24 minutes on the LateralX.1 -
Monday, November 16th -- Morning session with Team Body Project for the 193748493920485th time (slight exaggeration..).
• Turbo 30's followed by
• Move Beats
C'mon Tuesday!!2 -
Monday: Upright rows, squats, lunges. 1 hr. Just starting resistance training today, it's a big deal for me, although I feel like jello now and will probably be sore tomorrow! I hope I can stick with this
Normally I just go for long walks, but it is starting to get REALLY cold outside brrrrrr 2 -

Tuesday morning movement celebration with the "GOAT" Team Body Project:
• "Totally Tabata"
followed by a very rapid sub-13-minute mile around the block before another day of Zoom virtual instruction.1 -
Hardest row in a while -- 6 X 250m with one minute rest, then 30 minutes AT work, then 5 minute C/D. 800 calories in 50 minutes. Avg HR was over 160 for the duration (over 80% of max). My max is roughly 195 still. Roughly 8K meters.
Ridiculously low DF (around 65 or 70) but my back isn't hurting, so I'm working on a faster stroke rate for now.2 -
My dad had the key test today. We're waiting for the results - his doctor was pretty pessimistic.
I had a climb over lunch. It went pretty well. I did:- Warm up climb on jugs
- Heel hook practice
- Pogo practice
- One foot off wall practice
- Campus (no foots on wall)
- Static practice (move like a robot)
