Still Rowing Strong And Losing Weight
I have come to the conclusion that the best time for me to exercise for weight loss is later in the day, preferably after dinner. I *think* that I end up sleeping through any exercise induced hunger. When I rowed in the AM on Thursday of this week, I ended up pigging out at lunch - and my weight went up the next day. Last night I rowed after 8PM and today I weighed in less than the previous day.
I planned on rowing relatively easy today, and for the most part I did. I ended up varying the workout a bit. The numbers that follow show this.
Total rowing time 1:07:56.9, 2:15.8 per 500 minutes, 22 strokes per minute.
9:09.1 2:17.2 22 2000m
9:01.0 2:15.2 16 4000m
9:08.7 2:17.1 22 6000m
9:48.8 2:27.2 21 8000m
9:07.6 2:16.9 24 10000m
8:52.0 2:13.0 25 12000m
8:41.1 2:10.2 26 14000m
4:08.7 2:04.3 26 15000m
Notice the different stroke rate. The first 2000 meters was done at 22 strokes per minute in 9:09.1. The second 2000 meters at 16 strokes per minute (painfully slow), but was done quicker, 9:01.0 - much more efficient with each stroke.
This is my 5th 15km rowing effort in the last 6 days - two more of these and I’m good for awhile.
