I was a little thrown by the new thread! I expected it to start April 1, but I'm here!
Spring Questions: What is your favorite outdoor fitness activity? In the winter, I'd say snowshoeing though I've only done it once. Other times of year, hiking! I feel like I could just go and go on a trail. How are you doing on your 2021 fitness goals so far? Uhh I guess I don't have any. So I'm doing well! That rowing bootcamp really seemed to help tighten everything up. I'd love to lose a few lbs but failing that, I want to not get all squishy again. Do you have a favorite piece of workout gear? I'd have to say the rower for now! As if that isn't obvious. Vantreesta, I use Strava but never look at it. They sometimes have challenges where you can earn discounts on say Picky Bars and things like that. It does include more social aspects than Garmin. Mine actually just pulls data from Garmin though--I never run the Strava app--so no different data there. Daphne, you can set your Strava to private, the whole account or some of the data, I believe. Huh, I wonder if my rowing split PR is recorded somewhere? I need to poke around on iFit. Yay for a PR! I definitely feel a "wall" in my rowing. I can do 30 SPM and feel challenged, can't maintain it for long. Above that and it's a major struggle. Maybe someday it won't be. I actually think it's upper body weakness that makes it tough. Allison, the run sounds nice despite the crowd. I don't like crowds even in non-COVID times so it'd be really tough to be in one now. I've never tipped the mechanic at my bike shop. My tune-ups are free so I also never pay for them...I think the shop does have several mechanics though, so I wouldn't necessarily know who to tip. Tell me about this Jay Blahnik video! I have a couple of Mindy Mylrea's Schwinn videos and do like those. Did my last rowing bootcamp Friday. The workouts were all 30-45 minutes long. Some were just rowing, some were rowing with intervals of bodyweight work on the floor. Even though they were relatively short, they felt REALLY effective! I did add in some Hannah Eden strength work now and then and did one run and one hike most weeks (there were only 4 rowing workouts per week). I swear my legs and arms are more muscle and less squish than they have been in years! Bonus--I posted on IG and the instructor commented on my post. I am such a dork! Hannah Eden has a rowing bootcamp and Gideon Akande (the instructor who did the rowing one) also has a bike bootcamp, so those are on my list for the future. Right now I'm doing Peloton bike bootcamps. Did on yesterday and I was struggling on the bike since I haven't done it for a while. The weight work wasn't tough. Today was Les Mills 45 minute BodyCombat. I've hiked the past 3 Saturdays. The first one two friends and the other two with one. Afterward we go out for breakfast. It's a nice little tradition! This Saturday and next we're going to a different area (been sticking close to home so far). Might have a big group on 4/3. It's supposed to get to 90, but hopefully not until late in the day! Other news--DD had a competition Sunday. I took her and DH and DS stayed home since DS had to work. This was the first time there was no limit on attendees. Everyone was masked (other than, oddly, one of the teams). It was strange to be with so many people but I was only really around other parents of her teammates so a little less weird. The state meet is the weekend of April 9 and I'm wondering what that one will be like. It's at the same place as the last one so maybe the same. BUT the regional meet is the weekend of May 1 in Reno. That means a flight, hotel, rental car, and meet at the convention center with who knows how many people. I'm surprised they're having it, but who knows. It makes me nervous to think about it! AZ opened up vaccines for 16 and up starting tomorrow so I'm going to sign up! DH still hasn't gotten his. As a healthcare worker he's been eligible since the start, but he's decided he only wants the Johnson and Johnson one. He has some ridiculous list of reasons why. Honestly it's beginning to bug me, especially now that I can get mine. I'll just stop there and spare you all my rant!
