Crack Trouble

With my continued leg challenge my workouts have been exclusively limited to the indoor rowing machine. These are great cardiovascular, non-weightbearing, fullbody workouts that improve fitness and keep me prepare for a return to the hardcourt. They are tough and sweat-inducing workouts. And some of the sweat puddles in the crack of my ass (by the way, that's not my ass pictured here). Which leads to painful chaffing and abrasion. I can't figure out how to prevent it really, so I just lube up and bear it.

I have some travel upcoming, and workouts will be catch as catch can. I'll get back to the hoops--my 2012 debut--on Saturday, January 21.

The Nutripper

My combined kettlebell and indoor rowing workout was, specifically, as follows:

I set the little pink prick (Gymboss) for 2:00 on/:30 off, and the Concept II rower at 5,000 meters. I rowed first, and when the pink jackass beeped, I moved to the kettlebell (20kg/44 lb), and when it beeped again (after 30 seconds) I swung (is that the right grammar? I did 2 minutes of kettlebell swings) for 2:00. For 9 rounds. On the tenth round I had 375 or so meters left on the rower. All in all, almost 1200 reps. Each 2:00 of rowing was 56 strokes (reps), each 2:00 of swings was 70 reps. Any swing (2-handed, right, left, hand-to-hand) is okay. It's a nutripper under any circumstances.
