1 hour leisure walk.
Here's some Canada geese walking on the frozen lake.

I got an hour's climb in over lunch yesterday.
I made a slight blunder in the evening, and picked up a very hot saucepan with a metal handle. I now have blisters on my hand (and not just the expected climbing calluses). It's fine - it stopped hurting after about half an hour under the cold tap.
I decided the blisters were likely to heal more quickly if I could avoid heavy use of the hands. I blundered on this, and absent mindedly campused up my climbing wall as I wandered past it. A couple of blister popped, so I reckon I can tape up then it's golden.
I did an hour of yoga before breakfast today, I'll squat after dinner.

Not sure this will help, but hand blisters are common among on-water rowers. IME, once the blisters open (as they will, when rowing again!), it helps to put some liquid bandage on the raw area, before taping up. It helps avoid the raw skin adhering to the tape and ripping off when tape is removed, and limits friction-wear on the raw area.
(For rowing, I'd be doing liquid bandage, then making my hand into an oar-holding shape, and using duct tape as the tape. No bandaging tape I've ever tried will hold up to the rowing for more than mere minutes, if that long. The duct tape, if wrapped all the way around fingers/hand to stick to itself, generously and with foresight about where stress will happen, will hold up for quite a while. I doubt that this level of obsessive taping will be necessary in your case, but the liquid bandage might still help with healing, if friction on the tape or adherence of tape to skin are possible.)1 -
Spin class and some weights. ⚡️1

Just 40 minutes on the Assault Bike today. Had some workers outside and didn't feel like doing the workout on the deck while the dogs were inside their crates, so I worked out in the room with them.0

Rowing 500m x 4. Decline sit ups.0

Today was my hard rowing and lifting day. I was going to try to get up at 4 AM and row at 5 AM. That didn't happen, so what I did instead was a 35 minute superset lift a bit early for lunch and then right into a hard 5K with no rest between. Loved it. I used to work out like this all the time, but really started reading how you're supposed to separate your workouts. I don't care. I prefer it this way. 1000 calories in around 65 minutes. Once I got on the rower for a few minutes, I stayed around 90% of HR Max, which was already elevated from the lift. Around a 2:18 pace on the 5K.
As for the lift, did a lot of Plyo box step ups, heavy rope, pushups, 50 lb KB swings, dips, pressups, slam balls and more.0 -
I am an afternoon or evening workout kind of guy. Always have been. However, I have plans this evening, so I actually got up at 5AM and cranked out 440 cals (indicated) on the elliptical. Glad I did it, but no plans to make this early AM nonsense a habit.1

30 minutes of intense stationary biking. 15 minute Emi Wong slim legs and thighs workout including stretching! Feel good!1

I decided to go for a walk in my condo building. I walked briskly down the hallway, ran down the stairs, walked down that hallway and down and over on each floor until I got to the lobby. I wanted to walk up the stairs but my bum knee started hurting. I added a walk to the fruit market. Next time I will start at a higher floor and repeat. Trying to mix things up with what I have. Can’t wait for my pool to reopen! 😃1

Haven't been here in a while. Any Zwifters here? Completed Haute Route today (today's leg was 30 miles but with 5,300 feet if climbing). I'm getting really close to final goal weight (2 lbs). Started September, 2019 though so it's been a process.0

Took a break from the cold weather last week. Four of us cycled from Florida City to Key West. We traveled at a leisurely pace, covering 85 miles on Wednesday and the remaining 48 miles on Thursday morning. Once in Key West, I was able to do an open water swim as well as a run on Friday before returning home. Now I"m back to ten days of cold weather training before heading to Florida again for the Challenge Miami triathlon.

10K on the rower today. Kept it all under 72% max HR. Most of it under 70% max HR, just a few times it drifted over. Wanted to keep it nice and easy today.0

Easy cardio day (34 minutes intense, but not HIIT) Bumped up my preacher curl weight by 20# for a change (3x5 instead of my usual 5x10). Lat pulls downs (5x10), reverse narrow grip lat pull downs(3x10), and approx 50 Greasing the Groove-like chin ups at work. Form was so horrible while grunting out the final curl reps, I injured my bad shoulder (unless the lat pull downs (since I over indulged) were the culprits -didn't noticed I was hurting until I was all done...then the pain came). We've heard it a thousand times: Proper form! Now I'm sidelined (strength training) for a day or two or? Lesson learned (yet again). My form during the final reps on the preacher curl bench:

Had a handyman at the house today and had the dogs crated all morning. When it was time for my garage lift, they had been in the crates long enough, so I hauled my Plyo Box, adjustable dumbbells and 40 lb Slam Ball outside on the deck with the rower and did 6 X 500m intervals with 5' breaks on the rower, supersetting the weights in between.
Alternated between bridges, weighted step ups, pushups, slam balls, shoulder presses. Fun but brutal. 40 minutes of total work, around 580 calories.0 -
Back from Florida on Sunday. Yesterday was an easy 1hour run. Today I had a short bike/run brick session.
Bike was 60 minutes including 3 x 10minute blocks that had 5 second bursts to 400 watts. Then right off the bike into a 15 minute transition run.1 -
Working out some, lackadaisically, but not reporting, so few days catch-up:
2/26 - 4.16mi walk, 3.8mph (finally decently un-cold, 30s-40F, and not too much snow for road shoulder walking.)
2/28 - 6,765m machine row (3 x 2k plus row in/out & CD at 2:33.7, 19spm)
3/1 - 40' stationary bike, easy pace 13,929m
3/2 - 5,315m machine row (2 x 2k, 500m, plus in/out/CD at 2:32.3, 18spm)
All moderate, Z3 and below, except for 47" of mild over-enthusiasm somewhere in there tonight. 😆
Daily, sun salutations and some stretching before breakfast, maybe 20' to half hour, and some random calisthenics type sets in spare moments.
Working toward a bit better consistency in exercise schedule. We'll see (low enthusiasm 🙄).2 -
