The above picture was found on an Irish rowing website. If you’re in Ireland and want to check it out, the website is called Rowing Ireland.
Today’s activity for me was some strength-training/pushups sets mixed in with a half marathon total distance on the Concept 2 Model D, which is the same kind as the machines you can see in the photo above.
I used the first few minutes of the half marathon as a warm up for the first sets of pushups, did those sets and then rowed some more before doing the next sets, etc until the strength-training was completed.
The half-marathon dragged out for quite a few hours because of that and also because I did a few other things and had a few conversations with Diane at various times before finally finishing the half-marathon after Diane left the house to do some grocery shopping.
As a result, I didn’t work up much of a sweat but nonetheless managed to burn about 1,200 calories or perhaps a couple hundred calories more (?) if you include whatever calories were burned with the strength-training.
The latest results of strength-training program will be found in the menu area, “Current Plan”.
Happy long, drawn out or otherwise rowing to you.
