First thing I did upon waking up was to hop on the erg for a 10 minute row. The first 5 minutes were spent rowing at a steady pace as my muscles and joints loosened up. The last 5 minutes comprised power strokes and brief rest periods, kind of like a fartlek. Immediately after the rowing, some push-ups and pull-ups.
It wasn't the toughest work out. On any other day, I would consider it a warm-up. But I thought about Isaac Hayes, rip, who died next to his treadmill and decided to ease into the week.
