More upper body IF you force your arms to help pull, but it's still very awkward with my shoulders only a bit below the top rung.
The belt/brake tether isn't adjusted properly, which is why the display turns off after 20 or 30 seconds. Pull the tether out far enough and the display stays on, but then you're going 105-110 spm, which IS a butt kicker.
I'm doing these from a cold start. I need to try it after warming up on a dreadmill first to get my HR over the initial spike.

pool was busy this morning, had to share a lane. I swim much worse when that happens. Get all tensed up and try to go faster.

Forest Park
3 laps, ccw, cw, ccw.
26f @ start with a brutal S wind, 15mph?
Running tights, 2xu shorts, ss top, ls top, light fleece, new gloves, running hat, buff.
Out Lindell and south on skinker into the wind - very cold.
Boco at's for lap one. Don't know if they just need more breaking in but they hurt my right foot under the metatarsal Arch.
Yellow Fates for lap two.
Orange Olys for lap3.
Consumed two bottles of Ensure in a bunch of Chips Ahoy cookies. Stops on laps 2 and 3 for stretching.
The daisy field has been brush hogged and burned since the last time I was there and one of the ponds near the field has been drained. I hope the daisies come back this year.
There were two types of runners in the park this morning. The first group or the hardcore runners, many of whom were running faster than I was. Group 2 or a bunch of high school students in the go St Louis students program. Group one were appropriately dressed for the weather but many of the students we're woefully unprepared 26 degrees in the 15 mile an hour wind. Oh the wisdom we gain with experience. :)

Stopped at the Y on the way home and swim 6 laps and then got in the jacuzzi tub. The Y was mobbed with little kids but the pool was empty.
Issues:
rt hip and SI - lots of sticky fascia, tight ham
left lower leg - very tight, maybe pulling right hip out of line, contributing to rt hip issues.
left ham - uber tight, along with IT, contributing also to rt hip.
