I was on my way to 500 active calories for an hour and a half water fitness work out today. But I got interrupted by a chatty Cathy 🤷🏻‍♀️ for a bit. Still, not too bad. 😉

Today I did my third rowing workout with drills over about 45 minutes and 5k.
I also integrated all the various digital programs. 🤗 Because there are those of us who know if it’s not on Strava, it didn’t happen. 🤣🤣🚣‍♂️🚣‍♀️🚣

I replaced my adjustable workout bench with this lower flat one. The size and height are better for me and I never adjusted the other one anyway. 🤗 my cat is fine either way 😉

I rearranged my home gym to accommodate my rowing machine and did a 20 minute follow along workout with Dark Horse Rowing on YouTube.

A pretty good year of activity for 2025. I also added a corrective exercise certification and established an aquatic personal training program at the Y where I work.

Last two rides of 2025.
Yesterday, a partial scout of the second Polar Pedalers route: Bronx and Hot Chocolate. 🚴🏻‍♀️ Today, a joyous, albeit blustery and cold, Xmas Day Ride to a Chinese Vegetarian Kosher Lunch in Teaneck.🤗

Staten Island East Shore and Historic Richmondtown - a relatively short, flat ride with a wicked headwind and heavy cross gusts outbound. The return was a tail wind but colder.

I want to learn arial yoga but hanging upside down made me nauseous. I’ve been working on improving my vestibular sense and this morning I did it! And got up nausea free 👌🤗

I’m up to 20 Nordic curls with a 45lb assist. Think I’m ready to reduce the assist weight. (Someone left 115lb on it - really? 🤦🏻‍♀️)

It’s not winter yet but we’re having a cold snap. After a ride I joined was cancelled, I got out for a short ride to scout a pizza stop for a new ride and check if my winter hiking pants work for my weekday commute. 🤗🍕👖

I increased the load on my single leg leg presses by 10% today to 240lb 👌 Not has hard as I thought it would be. I might go back up to 10 reps.

Got a new fitness toy - a Slackboard 🤗 Very challenging 😬 Today I practiced stepping on and off both forward and back 👌 It’s the epitome of being brave enough to suck at something new 🤣

Biking through the Bronx, stopping at a hidden garden, an abandoned castle, and the Anderson center, originally a residence for destitute billionaires. 😁

Bridges and Bagels on Thanksgiving 🦃 5 east side bridges.
Someone stole my expensive, heated gloves at the halfway pit stop. 😡🤬
Kossar’s had too long a long line 🤷🏻‍♀️so we skipped the bagel stop.

Slow sightseeing Brooklyn Halloween House ride - A little windy, a little cold, a bit of a headwind, no hills to speak of, and a blue, fall sky, 👻🎃

Steel mace 360s that not everyone can do. Start where you are even if you’re not Paul Bunyan. 🏋🏻‍♀️🤗 7lb, 10 reps each direction. Focus on form, which is more important than weight.
