Spent all of Saturday doing house cleaning and re-organization for guests, then a very late night... early AM... sunday. So a bit foggy without any motivation, decided to do a leisurely 2K Row.

Workout: 2K row
Time: 9:49

I started out easy and then got more into it after 1000 meters. What is amusing is that my previous PR was 10:00, and I beat it by 11 seconds

You can get some great "cardio" (or metabolic conditioning) from various weightlifting, kettlebells, or other non-traditional "cardio" without even running, etc. Great way to expand your aerobic and anaerobic capabilities too!

I am realizing that more and more as I try to get into it. Needless to say I recognize the potential and the need. Now the actions need to mirror that.

This week is Kettlebell week for me since it's what I primarily brought with me to the hotel.

Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift High Pulls tonight…. also attempted a couple light KB snatches, but it didn’t feel right. I wasn’t catching it correctly at the top…. watched some more videos and will attempt more… tomorrow perhaps.


KB SDLHP’s: 40 reps… 2 sets of 20 each…. good hip snap and great cardio!
