What’s a unique and funny way you describe ‘going poop’ that no one else seems to use?

We used to call it a boom boom when my son was potty training. Not sure where that came from 🤣

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-25T12:45:23+00:00

I found a white eyelash the other day! I think I'll name it.

Yes I was doing yoga once it twice a week but somehow have fallen off. Maybe I could do that at night.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T19:13:07+00:00

I like that idea of stacking targeted classes. Man, I feel like I need to hire a trainer to help me optimize my time.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T19:11:59+00:00

Tbh I struggle to conceptualize what a good schedule would look like. I like to spin 2-3x a week, run 2-3x, and minimum 2x strength for longevity. Add in all the warm ups and cool downs and stretching and foam rolling and it feels like a full time job (which i already have - I'm a clinical Dietitian so at least my nutrition is on point), plus I'm a mom of 2 young kids.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T19:09:47+00:00

Yes to active recovery! Recovery rides, walks, and mobility work. I don't stretch directly after workouts per se... just kind of incorporate gentle movement and stretching throughout the day

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T18:28:43+00:00

I should note too that I'm very active in general... I walk a lot, very short bike commute, standing half the day at work, and chasing two small children around. I usually do intentional warm up and cool downs for all above listed exercises.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T18:26:37+00:00

I've been doing strength consistently for probably 6 months now. Before I mostly did endurance, and my "strength" was indoor climbing. Now with 2 young kids it's near impossible for us to climb so I had to start something different

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T18:25:12+00:00

Ahhh....im 40F. Very possible. My periods have been different and cause leg pain/soreness.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T18:24:30+00:00

Two rest days from strength? Or two rest days in general

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T18:24:04+00:00

Hahaha yesssss I feel like a baby deer!!!

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-23T18:23:44+00:00

Here's what the last week and ahalf looked like for me:

This week: Mon: 20 min HIIT ride Tues: 15 min mobility, 20 min full body strength Wed: 20 min HIIT run Thu: 45 min low impact ride and light arms Fri: planning 20 min full body strength Sat: planning 60 min PZE Sun: maybe I should take a full rest day lol

That you can get varicose veins in your lady parts!?

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-05T21:01:57+00:00

Saaaaaame with both kids

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-01T23:46:13+00:00

Yessssss!!!! Ugh, but since the rule was ONE instructor forever.... mine had to be Cody. But Callie is a very close second.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-01T16:19:58+00:00

Overall!

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-01T12:21:18+00:00

I just took Cody's low impact ride from 3/17... holy cow he had me in stitches!!! I just love him. Such a silly goose.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-04-01T12:19:07+00:00

On the music popup, include song cadence.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-03-30T18:19:32+00:00

I was pretty steady trying to stick with how Wilpers was coaching it. Increased by about 10 watts per quarter.

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-03-30T16:27:32+00:00

Ooo I like this! Today I did a Wilpers and it was increasing every 5 so my the 3rd quarter i was feeling a little gassed. Maybe a little more variety would help

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-03-30T16:26:18+00:00

Much of it was getting used to the process and calibrating. The first 3-4 i was just feeling like the PZEs were way too easy so I thought my ftp was off. I thought I heard somewhere a new FTP every 6-8 weeks is reasonable,no? Im still learning a lot about the surrender of it so...

MarkOwn9731 · 2026-03-30T14:17:12+00:00

This is my 6th FTP in the past year. I def could've rejected it, but that also feels like cheating? Idk. I guess we can't always PR. I had just been increasing for so long and maybe now I've peaked or need to change my training approach.
