... and scary!
What are you guys made of, neoprene?
my coldest water experience was something around 6 degrees... but this was a mixture between swimming and jump-walking through it...
(in regular running clothes, no neoprene)
I started the day winter swimming in Copenhagen Harbour. The water is now 3*C. For me the season began 3 weeks ago and I swim either Saturday or Sunday morning so I can enjoy the sunrise over the harbour. There is a sauna at the harbour bath so it is pure luxury
Cccccccccold!
You scandinavians are so weird. I like my water warm thank you very much.

Darebee Christmas Tree 2016: 20 Push-ups
Here is a quick update on my training plan for December. As you might have guessed I have decided to do Boxers Prime and to participate in all the Christmas Activities going on at Darebee. Boxers Prime Day 4 was one of the toughest workouts I have done for a long time. A huge amount of push-ups in a short period of time. I had to do some of the push-ups on my knees and especially my lower back was sore for a few days afterwards mainly due to bad form on the last couple of sets.
I also wanted to participate in decorating the Christmas tree and I had decided on a dumbbell. I had planned to do some push-ups every day but it never happened I was not sure if the dead-line was at midnight on the 16/17 or if Saturday was within the dead-line. So I decided to do the remaining push-ups Friday. I did 25 push-ups every hour from 6am to 10am but then forgot all about it, so it left me with 305 push-ups at 10.40pm Friday night 1 hour later I had reached 500
Yesterday (Saturday) I started the day with some winter swimming. Redline - just me and the water - no neoprene
BuurmanSven I have to confess that most of my friends and family think, I'm a little bit crazy stepping out of bed at 6am on a Saturday morning to go winter swimming in the harbour with water at a temperature slightly above freezing point

Only most of your friends and family? You are crazy but keep rocking it

Totals Day 22 (Burpees with Push-Up)
For the last few days I have enjoyed jump rope skipping. So again today I did Power Skip. For Totals I had to do 80 Burpees. I did 10 reps before each set of Power Skip and I chose to do them with a push-up.
Preparation for Boxer Prime (bob and weave 5 minutes after the photo was taken a hail and thunderstorm broke loose. It lasted for 10 minutes. It was a beautiful experience as there was a lull before the storm and a beautiful red glow in the sky. The lightning wasn't directly above me so it only meant a short break while the thunderstorm drifted away.

Boxer Prime: Day 15
Power Skip lv1
I didn't read the instructions properly so I did 10 sets of drill 2 before switching arms (20 sets in total instead of 10).
I wouldn't risk an injury to my lower back so for drill 5 I did 10 push-ups instead of 30 before shadowboxing as I couldn't do more with proper form. I did 10 more push-ups at the end of drill 5 and Power Skip lv1 as penance
Power Skip was also a good way to loosen up my muscles after another power workout in the Boxer Prime program.
