I didn't fest at all yesterday. I think tomorrow will just be an arm day.
Congrats!Finished Ben's 5 day strength split today. Total baby through the squats so hopefully I didn't destroy my quads yet again. The splits are supposed to be taken repeatedly over a period, but I'm going to wait until Monday to restart and take it (or another split, perhaps) again. Gotta play golf on Sunday at a challenging course so I don't want to screw myself up.
anybody get to try out a Peloton Row yet? (Peloton® | Rowing machine with streamed Live & On-Demand classes)
my SO has been asking that we consider getting one. a rowing machine is in the 'please can we' bucket, and the Peloton interface is a huge plus for us. I may be passing near a Peloton showroom next week, and will try to make time to stop in and give on a pull
So I figured I would try out a live class with dumbbells this morning. I was just curious enough to see if they were different (it wasn't) that I actually decided to drag my butt out of bed almost an hour before I normally get up. My wife would be on her way out, so I figured I wouldn't be taking up the living room long with her there and she would get the idea and head out when she realized what I was doing.
I get set, turn the TV on, navigate to the app, and the trainer comes on. So I've taken over 2 dozen workouts so far, most of them with women trainers, and I felt like I had a good idea what their dress code might be: pretty much all business, maybe something that goes with the musical theme of a workout, but nothing where they're trying to show anything but their muscles off.
My wife hasn't been around while I've done these workouts until she saw the first few minutes of this morning, and what was her first impression? A young lady with easily the most revealing top of any of the trainers I've watched so far.
She didn't and probably won't ever say anything, but good grief, I was already starting off really uncomfortable because I knew I would briefly have an audience, then that. Not how I wanted to start my day.

the Row is going to be more of a whole body workout vs a stationary bikeWhat are they supposed to be good for? If I was to put down the kind of money they want for exercise equipment, I wouldn't want a treadmill (from any brand), and I already own both a real/outdoor and a stationary bike, so I don't really want their bike.
Is the Row more focused on upper body or something?
Yesterday was my 150th ride milestone, and today was my 100th stretch.
you're not alone on thatI have been doing shorter rides, but occasionally stacking extra 10s or cool down rides, so I feel like the number of rides I've completed is deceptively high for the number of active days I've had with this service.
@Kent88 I don't remember which version of the app you're using, so this is more of a question based on the app when using the Bike and also the app on my Android -
When adjusting the volume during a class session, I have three options to personalize the mix --
*More Music* - *Session Mix* - *More Instructor*
Do you have the same mix adjustment during a session, and does the more instructor option get you the low music level you're looking for?
I should follow suit and take a day off from everything to re-start a new 60-day streak, but I likely won't so I can keep the overall weight creeping downward while also creeping up the overall lean mass
But you haven't earned Gold on your February strength challenge yet.
I kid, I kid. I guess I'm feeling a little better because my back pain is pretty light right now, so hopefully I will get bronze in that in the next day or two.
woke up excited for this morning's planned bike ride: Denis Morton's 30 minute RUSH Ride
I was about 3 min into the warm-up portion when I realized that my legs were not going to cooperate to enable me to really push at the level I was hoping for today. what started out with the intention of a hard push ride was quickly becoming a med level 'ride along and enjoy the tunes while holding a rolling sweat' level workout.
beyond my legs not aligning to plan, I also had issues getting my heart monitor to connect. I gave up on it around 10 min into the ride after multiple on/off cycles failed to secure a connection. oddly, I had no issues connecting once I completed the session.
I take a repeat of Denis' RUSH session sometime this weekend when my legs are back.
Looks like I'm going to hit Gold on the February Activity Challenge.
I guess being stuck inside during a blizzard has helped keep my streak alive.
Congrats! Except for that "blizzard" thing. I moved away from that and don't regret it lol ;-)
Took it a little easier to a 20-minute HIIT rideSunday I took it a little easier on the ride because I had already taken the dog for a 3.3 mi walk, so I did Emma's 20 Minute HIIT Ride. Playlist with Prodigy, NiN, Metallica, Radiohead... That was good stuff!
