    I attempted hangboarding yesterday, but I was terrible. So I gave up on it, send also gave up on my planned upper body lifts, since did a 6 mile walkv instead.

    I will re-try today. It may be that I didn't give myself long enough to recover after climbing the day before

    I re-did the hangboarding the next day, and was a lot better. I didn't break any records, but it was a solid session.

    I did upper body lifts yesterday, doing 3 sets of 6 on the bench (50kgs); and 3 sets of 6 overhead press (35 kgs).

    It has rained constantly for the last few days, It would be nice for a break in order to get a climb in.

    Haven't climbed for a year or so now but have climbed for more or less since my mid-20's... I can attest that hangboarding is freakin' HARD!! Good job!!

    Slow 4.16mi walk (3.2mph), moderate rowing machine 2 x (1000m on, 1:30 off) at 2:29.8, 22, peaked around 73% HR. Stiff and a little sore from tripping over something in my kitchen the other night and falling; no real injuries, but some bruises.

    Thanks! I got a woody built in my garden early in the first lockdown as a way to carry on climbing even whilst at home. It has been a good investment.

    Yesterday, I did an 8 mile walk. I ran for a small portion of it as an experiment. I've never really been a runner, I wanted to see if it could be fun. It wasn't too bad, although I only did about a mile as I'm easing myself into it.

    It was sunny today, and although I had 8 work meetings, miraculously I had a free hour over lunch. So I got a climb in. I wasn't in form at all, but it was still good fun.

    Run yesterday was a short endurance type effort: 1
    10 min walk/jog/dynamic warmup, then 4 x 12 min blocks (10min aerobic pace, 1min push, 1min recovery pace) then cool down.

    Bike today on trainer: 1:08:00 High Cadence/Threshold session
    10 min warmup, then 4 rounds (2min High Cadence/2min Normal) then 5 min recovery watts
    then 2 rounds 8 minutes each(5min Sweet Spot/3 min recovery)
    then back to 4 rounds of high/low cadence as above
    cooldown.

    Been running 3x week full body MAPS Anabolic plus teaching 1 day Bodypump for last 6 weeks. Today, my body started crying for a deload. As in, couldn’t hit my numbers, at least for arms, 2 sessions in a row.

    30 minute chair exercise for seniors, obese, and people with limited mobility plus 12 minute stretch routine for lower back pain. Both HASFIT. I know the stretch routine won’t help with weight loss but it would be nice to wake up without my low back hurting.

    Nice, @JessAndreia: You're continuing to improve your pace. Including work at base (lower HR) will improve endurance, of course. FWIW, if you're finding it possible to push it, but not quite continuously, a format multiples of my friends enjoy is repeats of 20 strokes on (i.e., very hard), 6 strokes easy.

    I'm more of a timed intervals person, if I do them, personally, but I seem to be an outlier in that: The 20-6 thing is more popular among those I know. (Came from one of our coaches early on.)

    You're doing great!

    Thank you. Sometimes I do something similar and tell myself "10 or 15 strokes", and count them.
    I also get thirsty quite easily (more than anyone else I know - went through 17 ounces of water in just those 24 minutes), so a lot of my pauses are to take a couple sips of water.

    My rower doesn't allow to set specific interval times like C2, but it does have a 20/10 and a 10/10 interval feature, so I might try that.

    I lifted some stuff today, doing:
    3 sets of 5, squat, 80 kgs
    3 sets of 7, deadlift, 100 kgs
    Farmers' walk, 60 kgs.

    There is not much rain forecast for tomorrow, so hopefully I can climb.

    Have you ever rowed/raced on water in a boat? What you describe doing is exactly a common race strategy. The coxswain will say "Now, we're going to take a power 10 for (inspiring reason X), in 2; 1 (stroke), 2 (stroke), and we're on". Coxswain counts strokes for 10, everyone focuses on making them the hardest, most effective they've got in that moment. And, since it's a race, we then go back to . . . hard. 😉

    You've probably noticed that I usually do repeats of 2K. Water is one of the main reasons: I need a drink! After the first couple, I also need to sop up some sweat, as I sweat copiously, too. 😆 So, row 2k, take a few easy strokes, get a drink, wipe some sweat, start easy strokes until C2 starts the next 2k. The 2' "rests" usually end up being 30" to 1:15-ish, not the full 2'.

    I had no idea, and I have not. I don't know how to swim and have a fear of deep water (probably because I don't know how to swim), so that's a huge no for me.

    I was able to get between 170 and 200 watts on a lot of my strokes today (an improvement for me too; I'm 127-128 lbs). Believe that's what knocked down my time. Hopefully over time I'll be able to hold that for longer and longer without pausing.
