Back at it!




AM
Morning walk enjoy yourself and spend some time to notice things physical and mental.  No music, no heart rate, enjoyable pace.  Let me know how you feel.  

Good walk - I did about 2.33 miles - felt good - actually kept pace right around 16:00 for the two miles.


Optional mid AM or PM 
Light AD 1min 
Light Row 1min 
High knee Hug down 
Light lunges back  - 10 lbs - 
x4-5 sets Keep this at a really easy pace!! 

Kept this easy - felt good. 4 rounds.  Didn't try for 5 because left leg was very tired.  I really had to focus on the lunges.

Back is feeling good, like nothing happened, but still need to focus and be careful.

RPE was about a 5 or 6-  didn't feel overwhelmed with any one round.  Rest could have been a min. to make it harder.

This workout felt good, a good sweat but not difficult.  Air Squats seemed a little stiff, but they got better. Really focused on the strict pull-ups, keeping the abs and glutes tight.  Probably the best set of pull ups I have done.

  But I had a really hard time clearing my head to focus on the Row Repeats

Row technique

Workout
500m row @2:05-2:15 pace
Rest 3-5 mins x 5 

I only did 3 repeats as 9 am class was starting and they needed the rowers.  My first row was in the 2:25 range - technique was crap.  Took a walk out side during rest. 
Second Row I did better I kept it in the 2:18 range after about the 150 mark, got a rhythm going and really just focused on technique.  
Third Row was the best,  I kept I would guess I avg. 212. this was an RPE of about 5-6.  


Max Strict Pullups green band rest 2-3mins  14
Max Strict Pullups Blue and Purple rest 2-3 mins  4
Max Strict Pullups Blue 2
 I tend to kip a little on the green - easier to keep strick on the blue.
