Dedicate your workouts

I was thinking this morning of my best friend who died three years ago

Tbh - I spent the past few hours crying so hard. The wounds hurt as much as they did the day he left

Didn’t feel like #running today

If I wasn’t going to do it for me, then I was going to for him. It made me push myself and I got my best ever time

Also saw a #heron

I miss you, buddy

Saturday #Workout:
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
52 minutes of strength training (cutting up fallen branches).
38 KM of #Cycling (18°C, 43% humidity, and 21 KM/H wind, gusting to 35 KM/H).
Attended the Ottawa #FediverseMeetUp,
9.7 KM of cycling with @TAV.

Got some quiet reading and tea drinking done before cutting up the fallen branches, got treated to a bit of an airshow, then went roundabout to get to Vincent Massey Park, had a wonderful time, and then biked home.

This morning's #workout #music is #Cello music from the Cello Octet Amsterdam. Nicely varied program of contemplative pieces with creative visuals.

I first saw this on Instagram, and had to share it.

We all need to laugh, and this man is a very easy target.

He can barely breathe. 😂

I admit. I couldn't do the scissor thing either, but I'm a 72 year old overweight woman.

Today's #Workout

Hamstrings: 3 rounds
- 10x bridges on foam roller
- 2x (30" work / 60" rest) hamstring tantrums
- 5x 8m shuttle runs

Push ups: 3 rounds
- 25 elevated push ups, unbroken (20in box)
- 2 min rest

Accessory: 3 rounds

I am annoyed by how much I have lost on Mayhem's programming when it comes to push ups, planks & pull ups, that I had gained through specific programming

Friday #Workout:
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
20 minutes of strength training.
27 KM of #Cycling (13°C, 72% humidity, and 7 KM/H wind).

Good workouts, and the ride was quick (for me), I was following someone who was moving at a really quick clip for a while and kept it up as long as I could.

Once I got home, showered then walked into the Market for a meeting to sort out some stuff for the upcoming start of #FestivalLife.

Got really windy; two branches on the tree out front came down. :-(

This morning's #workout #music is from Nomusicians - who work in the tradition of Eno, Budd, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Nils Frahm. New to me. Well executed if not particularly original in concept.

Crucial Tips for 📌 Barbell Deadlift

The barbell deadlift is a powerful compound exercise that trains the entire posterior chain, including the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, upper back, traps, core, and grip.

🔷 Start with the bar over mid-foot.

🔷 Brace before you pull.

🔷 Hinge, don’t squat the deadlift.

🔷 Don’t just yank the bar with your arms.
