Tough To Get There From Here By Rowing Exercise Log 20190307

There are a pretty big number of reasons to not go exercise. This morning, my personal list was: late getting to bed because volleyball gets me home late; poor quality sleep, thanks to theDog; under 1,000 calories yesterday, and I want food; and the everlasting "it's cold outside". What to do? Simply, bribe myself with an offer for lunch, after I get back. It worked like a charm.

I'm always on the lookout for a hack that'll let me workout more frequently. Today I tried a much easier water row interval program, intended to easily burn calories:

6 cycles of

5 minutes moderate rowing
1 minute rest
}

By this time, I'm pissed. I'd brought racquetball gloves, thinking it'd take my hands out of the work. Turns out, I brought 2 right hand gloves, because, now I remember, they only come in one hand.

By this time, I'm beyond pissed, and ready to row. 5 minute easy warm up my glutes. It was a decent workout, but way easier than the 1 minute 30 second sets. Hopefully, though, it'll have been easy enough on me to get me back to it day after tomorrow.

And, I got lunch: 5.9 ounce ground beef patty smashed, a baked / cooled potato, and 4 baby dills.

Tomorrow is my next body composition measurement. Hope I'm pretty :-)
