What Was Your Work Out Today?

I used to be an insufferable gym rat, but now I have health issues that slow me down. I go for walks in my neighborhood and do qi gong. I've recovered to the point that I can comfortably walk for 3/4 mile at a time, which is a huge leap from when I first got sick a few years ago. I'm crossing my fingers for the day that I can kick *kitten* in the dojo again.
Edit: I just noticed that the website automatically edited my word for derriere to "kitten." For the record, I do not kick kittens. I actually volunteer with a local cat rescue program. I love animals!8 -
Stationary bike for around half an hour, moderate pace, mostly Z3 . . . I think. Can you tell where I turned my tracker around from the outside of my wrist to the inside?🙄🤣
I'm not sure whether I've just gotten too suntanned/freckled, or what: This used to seem to work. Lately, the chest belt is giving me readings sometimes (suddenly) that seem way too high; the wrist monitor sometimes reads way too low. I feel completely normal, so I think it's the devices, not my actual heart.4 -
10,000 steps and 30 mins of yoga. Anyone else use the Gaia app for yoga or Pilates?2

Temps were in the high 60's here yesterday, so I left work early to join two friends for a bike ride before dark. We knocked out 25miles @ a 17.4mph moving average. It felt great to ride outdoors for one of the last times this year.
Practiced twenty minutes of yoga this morning. No bike or run tonight, just leaf blower duty. Right now, the fallen leaves are winning.5 -
The weather and my schedule finally cooperated this morning - about 58 degrees, so a great morning for a ride outdoors... 17.86 miles @ 13.3 mph avg, total of 80 minutes on the bike. Didn't know how hard I would be able to push after doing the spin bike late yesterday, but everything felt good, so win-win!4

Pushed myself to do a sub 30 minute 5K. First one in a while...4

Been doing back to back Bootcamp this week and walking over lunch. Have my Styku scan tomorrow to see what 6 weeks of bootcamp has done 🤞🤞3

Today is a yoga day. Instead of my normal hatha or vinyasa yoga, I mixed it up with a yoga fusion class that had some pretty challenging (for me) body weight strength training. Wow. I was feeling cocky lately that I've been getting in better shape and this knocked some reality into me. lol... I had to modify quite a few things to get through it. This class was really out of my comfort zone. Guess I'll have to throw it into the rotation more often. Challenge accepted.
(P.S. For anyone that cares: I'm using yogadownload.com. It's got a great mix of all types of yoga and you can sort by type, time, intensity, and teacher. Not all of it is free, however.)3 -
Tuesday's double workouts take a toll on me, so Wed is easy recovery day. I did around 55 minutes of cardio (32 or so on the rower and the rest on the LateralX today). Finger got just a tad sore from yesterday so not all of it on the rower. All under 70% max and most all of it under 65% max.

A shorter run today, in the time I had left before dinner: 5.05km in 35min37, mostly Z3. Nice to see my effective VO2max (as per Runalyze) increase to 36, not as high as the 43 my Garmin gives, but an upwards trend is all I'm looking for, I know I'm not a natural athlete 😁

Another kickboxing day

Rowed about 7k, back in bow of the quad. Then, walked just over 5 miles, averaging 3.4mph.
Possible this will turn out to be our last on-water row of the season: The end is very close, at best. At least it was beautiful today, only mid-30s F to start (bit above freezing) but sunny, with flat water, and it gradually warmed (to around 40F) by the time we finished rowing . . . 50s by the end of my walk, really nice.
When I got home, I put the garden hoses to bed for the Winter. Pulling 150 ft or so of hose over a tree branch a few times might be sort of a mini workout? 😆

On Sunday, I did 15 miles walking.
On Monday, I felt like death warmed up and did very little.
On Tuesday, I felt recovered after a decent night's sleep. I went climbing, I was OK but not at top form. (I got two graded v2-v4, but nothing harder.) I lasted 2 hours.
On Wednesday, I did a shorter walk (around 8 miles).
Today will be climbing again, which I'm already looking forward to. Here is a pic of me on a sea kayak from Saturday's Thames mega-trip.

Following up from yesterday... Holy cats! I'm so sore!! (And I see a half pound water gain on the scale today too. The joys of inflammation....)
So, yeah, I will definitely be adding that one to the weekly rotation. Just not today. haha..
Off to the elliptical to get some blood moving through these sore muscles. Have a great workout today everyone!

Gym day today. Lats and tri's were still feeling Tuesday's session. Lots of balance today via single leg work, swiss ball core stuff and weighted movements done while standing on bosu ball. Finished up with med ball slams, band pulls on bosu and 3 x 30 sec rounds done all out on the xcty skier(pull down and through).

Pretty easy day again today. 32 or so minutes of rowing (6K, 1st two unstrapped, thus the slow time) and then 25 minutes on the Assault Bike. Avg HR 63% of max, right around where I want it. Never exceeded 70% and mostly under 65%.

Strength training today:
- 4 sets landmine deadlifts
- 3 sets assisted pull ups
- 3 sets cable rows
- 2 sets hyperextensions
- 2 sets dumbell lateral raises
I'm nowhere near being able to do full pull-ups, but happy to see I've 'graduated' to full pull-ups with my strongest resistance band, not just doing negatives anymore.

Just under half an hour stationary bike, all Z3 and below. (It's an alleged virtual 10k 🤷♀️ + a 3' CD piece.)

I did a Orangetheory lift 45 and then immediately a run/row 30. So 45 minutes on the weight floor and 15 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the tower. Tomorrow I have an Orangetheory 90 (so it’s 90 minutes of floor/rowing/treadmill) and then I’m going to barre class in the evening with my mom.
