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.1 -

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.

10 min warmup, then 4 rounds (2min High Cadence/2min Normal) then 5 min recovery watts

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.1

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!1 -

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.1 -
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.0 -

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'.1 -

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.1
