The above indoor rowing photo was found on a general fitness website with ladies in mind. It is called Fit Bottomed Girls and is found at this link: fitbottomedgirls.com. The page which the above photo was linked to was on a page about indoor rowing found at THIS LINK which is titled “Indoor Rowing: What You Need to Know – and a Workout to Try”. The “workout to try” seems to be a set of intervals patterned as 6x400r200. That amounts to about 1.5 miles of sprinting and 3/4 miles of resting in between and after each of the half dozen 400 meter sprints. Sounds like fun, so maybe I’ll try it sometime. If I remember….
But … the next set of intervals I will do is this month’s C2CTC challenge, which is 10×0:30r60 which also sounds like a lot of fun. It’s results will be posted here sometime before this month is over.
Today’s activities were a duad. You might not know what that word means, but if you don’t you can look it up like I did, when I discovered it is an actual word(!) in the Words With Friends game that I play with Diane. Too bad, I never got an opportunity to make that word… Diane used that space when it was her turn the next time, so I had to look elsewhere on the board for whatever word I settled for.
The duad was two activities: strength-training via pushups and also rowing 15K in bits and pieces as combination warmup/down for pushups and in between doing each pushups set. Had to interrupt the whole thing in the middle, to take Diane for an eye exam which required dilation of the limpid pools of her lovely blue eyes. That’s why the 15th split of the 15K is over two hours – that’s when I performed the job of chauffeur.
Today’s strength training/pushups results all fit on the bottom line labeled F (for Friday) of the screenshot below:
Happy bottom fitness attainment to you.
