What Was Your Work Out Today?
Replies

An hour of pilates with a focus on spinal health. I can still do bridges, it wasn't a fluke!
I overworked myself this week so time to rest until monday morning and enjoy the nice weather.5 -
44 min walk at an average speed of 4.9kmph.
2 mins below zones
14 mins fat burn
27 mins cardio
1 min peak.
My blisters are covered in Compeed plasters and while that helped quite a lot, the soreness was still pulling me back a bit from the speed that I usually walk at.
Caroline Girvan Iron Series Day 2 - Upper body with dumbbells, 30 mins.

Still recovering from whatever weird virus my kid and I got this week (and yesterday's migraine to go with it). Anyway, I had more energy today so I hit the elliptical for an hour (3.3 miles), with my HR up in Zone 3 for most of it. This isn't a bad performance (for me) on paper, but it felt hard.5

Feeling better today than last 3 days and hoping to feel even better tomorrow. Elliptical 210 minutes for 16.3 miles. Thought I would get another session in today but I had to cut the grass. I have a unit employee picnic tomorrow and made a big bowl of broccoli salad to take. And all that pretty much filled my day.5

No walking today, staying off my blisters for a couple of days.
At home workout today with Caroline and then Nicole.

I didn't post yesterday, really technically a rest day, though I did go out in a double with a learner in our learn to row class. As with the earlier such outing, I rowed a bit to get us back on course now and then, but mostly just stabilized the boat and let her row alone. So fun and rewarding, seeing someone make changes, improve, get the hang of it!
Today, rowing with my regular group: 6 of us, a double and quad, with me in bow of the quad; the usual 7k-ish distance, not intense - Z3 and below.4 -
Elliptical 211 minutes for 16.2 miles. Got up at 6 to do it. I knew I wouldn't feel like doing it after my work picnic.5

Elliptical for about an hour, 3.6 miles, most in HR zone 3, with dips into zone 4 for some intervals at the end. Unlike @swimmom_1 I did NOT get up at 6 to do it.
Instead, I spent most of the day whining and being grouchy that I didn't get enough sleep last night. I eventually told myself to shut up and get my grumpy butt onto the machine. In the end, I went a pretty decent pace (for me) and felt pretty good doing it. I guess I should reflect on the NSV of that. Instead of "self-medicating" my grumpiness with a bag of chips, I chose to workout instead. I'm tired, but my mood is improved. I'm betting the chips would not have had the same result.5 -
Saturday
I went climbing. I went to Arch, a gym I've not been to since before lockdown. It was really good fun. I lasted a slightly ridiculous 2.5 hours. It was good. Consistent with all the other London gym, the route setting has got easier over the last couple of years. (Or I've got better. I spent a long time in my youth learning to play the board game Go. I never really thought I got better at the game; but my opponents did all get worse. I went from beginner to national champion, so it's possible I did improve, but I preferred the everyone else getting worse hypothesis.) I got a couple of v4/v5 graded climbs, which I'd have never managed before.
I've never really looked into heart rate zones and whatnot - I prefer to just do stuff without really thinking. However, I suspect there was a lot of anaerobic effort in my harder attempts.
The gym is in East London near the Thames, so I decided to stroll down the Thames to get to Waterloo to come home, and I also got 15 miles's walk in.
Sunday
I did a hike. It was perfect weather for it - around 20 Celsius with slight cloud cover. I did 16 miles with many, many hills (probably around 3,000 feet ascent in total.) It was very nice.5 -
Was feeling better going into the weekend and then let my guard down on Saturday and got glutened. I'm celiac, so that is my fault. I need to be more vigilant.
After having a migraine headache for all of Saturday night and sleeping like an hour, I did manage to get a 30 minute row in yesterday in my garage with the Evap Cooler. It was already around 95 degrees outside. Then splashed around in the pool for around an hour. Managed to do a few supersets last night with complex chest, legs, shoulders but not as much as usual.
Got a great night rest last night. Much needed.6 -
Day 4 done and loving it!!

The workout was:
15 minutes to find a heavy double push press
15 minutes amrap (as many rounds as possible) of 10 handstand push ups, 20 american kb swings, 40 double unders.
My wrists have been hurting all day so I was not feeling it at all. I took it easy on the push presses but I also scaled the handstand push up to seated db presses and the double unders to 25 air squats.
Normally I like to use the 20kg kb for the swings and the 10kg dbs for the seated presses but today I used the 16kg kb (the normal amount they expect women to use, even the top athletes) and 7,5kg dbs because I needed to take it easy. It hurt. I did 4 full rounds and 25 reps but I had to fight for every single one of them. I am so tired.5 -
Rest day so just a walk for 2 miles.6
-
Leg Day!
Squats, RDL, leg press, leg extend/curl6 -
Got a nice rest last night after feeling better from the 24 hour headache from hell.
Did 30 minutes on the rower out in the garage (100 today at lunch -- and it's supposed to get 10 degrees hotter by Thursday!). Evap cooler made it tolerable. Did a nice cool down in the AC after for around 25 minutes on the Assault Bike.5 -
Rowed the usual 7k-ish this morning in bow of the quad. Almost hit a fishing boat that was bogged down in the weeds; one more mistake on my part (3 strikes) and I'm going to mutiny out of rowing bow for a while. SMH.
Tonight, coxed a quad rowed by the two official learn-to-row coaches, and two learn-to-row class participants, which went fine. No workout there; just sitting in a boat and shouting at people. (Richer clubs have "cox boxes" that connect to speakers in the boat, so the cox can use a headset to talk to the rowers. We're shoestring-y, so our coxes just shout no megaphone even. 😆)4 -
I had an active recovery day yesteday, doing 8 miles' walk and spot of light lifting:
Front squat, 50 kgs, 1 set of 5
Deadlift, 100 kgs, 1 set of 5
Hangboarding5 -
Day 5 done. It is a 30 day series and we do 5 days on and 2 days off. So back to it on Friday.
Then I went straight out for a 74 mins walk at an average speed of 5kmph.
7 mins fat burn.
62 mins cardio.
5 mins peak.
I'm having a rest day tomorrow, have a great day everyone and see you all on Thursday 🙂
