What Was Your Work Out Today?

A nice active Saturday, with lovely weather, mostly sunny, 50s F (low/mid teens C).

Started with a short easy rowing machine warm-up, around 5 minutes, just under 1k.

Bulletproof Knees class followed, last session of this class, about an hour. Some stretches, then strength, mostly moderate intensity: Calf raises, tib raises, weighted squats, RDLs, step downs (except I did weighted wall sits instead because the instructor doesn't like seeing li'l ol' ladies in pain, I guess 😆), weighted butterfly raises, hip flexor raises over a kettlebell, and probably some other things I've forgotten.

Immediately hopped in my car, went to the open house at the rowing club, which was almost 3/4 over with by the time I arrived. 🤷‍♀️ After touring some folks around who'd already signed up for learn-to-row class, I got recruited to row bow (steering position) in a quad - 4-rower sculling boat.

These were all newer rowers than I am, but all with at least a couple of years experience so it went well for a first row of the season. I ran some technical drills to work on some things it seemed like we were underperforming as a boat, but mostly we just rowed. It was around the usual distance, just under 7k, took the better part of an hour including some water breaks, the slower turns at each end, and one set of stationary drills.

It was wonderful to be back on the water again in a real boat. I'm happy. 😊

haha… walking for 45 min. Out doors so no set speed, approximately 2 - 3 mph. It’s been a nice rest.

Also practicing the “Dancing Dads” dance for my two daughters dance recital. 😅

Today's workout is going to be a 8 mile run, stationary bike, stretching and foam rolling.

Rest day for me.
