The categories of workouts are:
Vannie - RE getting a better workout without Shane instruction, if there are fewer recoveries and or fewer form drills with music alone, that could explain it. I do my best times on the easier ("Breathe") rows because they're just steady-as-she-goes rows. Back later!

Vantreesta, bust out the snowshoes! We're going up north 1/22 and I'm hoping for snow. I like Dark Horse also but can't do more than 15 minutes! Rowing while just watching him row is...like watching paint dry.
Daphne, an iFit individual membership is $150/year I believe. I bought a card for one on ebay for $80 though, and they do have a 30 day free trial. I'm going to try that out and see if rowing with it works for me. You're right, they do bury all that info! Alison, I have the YAYOG app and keep meaning to use it. I wonder if some of those mobility moves are in it? I haven't looked at it in ages. I have Monday off for MLK day and possibly Wednesday because the Coast Guard office I work with is shutting down for the inauguration. I can't decide whether that's good or not. I think I'm done with phase 1 of Body Beast. I technically have one more workout but it's a repeat of one I did earlier this week so I may just skip it. The only thing about Sagi that really bugs me is when he yells at the guys for talking over him. "The Beast is talking!!" I am looking forward to those shorter workouts in the next phase. I really feel like I need some cardio. I'm sticking with short HIIT-type workouts, so bike, row, and the occasional run should work well.

Popping in with a bit of info
Daphne is right! The Hydrow app is not quite as good as Peloton as far as filtering. BUT ... I imagine it will get there soon.
In the meantime? this is a web based place to check out the Hydrow workouts. What they are, difficulty level, instructor, date, music, etc. I have used it forever for Power Zone Training and was thrilled when I "discovered" the "HYDROW Workout Library" tab along the top: https://www.homefitnessbuddy.com/ Back to your regularly scheduled check in.

Pratima: Same! Every time he asked a cast member a question and then yelled at them for answering, I yelled back “then why did you ask him something?” I already get Monday off for the holiday, Wednesday for the inauguration, and Friday for my regular every other Friday. So I’m using vacation Tuesday and Thurs and having a whole week off. I have so much to do around the house, and I also hope to go hiking one day. Daphne: The quad stretch and scorpion are in number 1. I liked those two the best in that one too. Me: I ran this morning, but I wasn’t feeling the love. But at least I did it. I’ve been watching soccer, hockey, and football all day. We have barbacoa in the slow cooker, so we’re going to have yummy tacos for dinner. |

You're welcome
I forget about the fact that it does the power zone training, as I've used it forever. I put it right at the bike. So many times the cues get lost or I miss them or the instructor messes up.
not to mention when you're in zone 4 and just think you can't go another minute --- only to discover there is only 90 seconds left and WHO can't do 90 seconds?!? Glad you can get use out of it. Cleda |

Fast typing drive-by!
Mobility workouts - I think I'm going to have to re-acquaint myself with Mobility Rx and actually do it. My memory is fried. I've been doing lots of little snack-sized mobility workouts that are part of the Hydrow library. They're so short and not as intense as the Mobility Rx work was. The man who designs their mobility and strength work is even older than I am and has a long background in rowing but also in Irish step dancing. Sometimes he's bopping to hip-hop though but he can still do the splits when he wants to. Cracks me right up. Sagi - I always try to give him the benefit of the doubt and chalk his abruptness up to his schtick. (But there's a strong possibility that he might just be an authentic jerk.) Alison - Barbacoa tacos, yum! Cleda - So glad you dive in from time to time. You know more than anyone I know about power zone training. Hydrow news - right after I posted here about how the Hydrow filter wasn't as sophisticated as Peloton's filter, they added a new way to sort "Workout Style." It tells you whether the workout is HIIT, pyramid, power, technique, speed, etc. LOVE IT. That info was already there in the workout description but this makes it easier to sort them first. Peloton - and my Peloton app added the stacking too, as well as the different training programs! I thought stacking might be only for the folks with the P bike or P tread but I can do it too. Peloton is such a deal. Gotta run and start cooking dinner. Oh workouts, right. Hydrow - I finished the 14 Day Home Challenge and loved it. They're getting ready to a month-long program for February and I'm trying to decide whether to sign up for it or not. I have less than an hour to workout on weekday mornings and I want to have time for running, walking and strength too. (Who am I kidding, I'm about 999% sure I'm going to sign up.) Running - I've logged more than 60 miles on my Backyard Brrr virtual running challenge. (Commit to either 50, 100 or 150 miles of outdoor activities in January.) I only committed to 50 because 100 seemed like a stretch, especially if we get snow or ice for a few days. So I've surpassed my goal and am thinking about switching to the 100 mile challenge. Hmmm. Fingers crossed that all will go well with the inauguration tomorrow. I couldn't get my son to leave DC, so he's basically living in the middle of a militarized zone right now. My office building is surrounded by barricades and police. I cannot express how emotional I am about all of this. One year ago, things were so different. It's hard to believe.
