New Workout to follow especially for busy adults with children!

New 40 minute workout


I uploaded a new workout entitled, Guerrilla style row. When you are married with children... who has time to workout? Good news I demonstrate it here with a few different visitors along the way....

The number of people rowing on machines has surpassed the number of people who row on the water.  This comes as no surprise.  Now we need to make sure that the horde of Marathon runners start rowing for cross training purposes.  Take care of your feet, ankles, knees and hips, gosh train your upper body and strengthen your core with rowing!!!!

40 minute row tonight and it was great. Anyone can do it!

Hello Rowers,

Tonight I pushed a 40 minute workout.  It is a miracle that I find time to row with the different family dynamics we have.  I would not want it any other way.  I broke a great sweat and recorded the workout for our www.Row2Go.com website.  I am back on track to putting new workouts to our online library.

Now that I don't row as often as my neurosis would like me to, I notice what a positively awesome mental effect a sweaty row has on my brain.  I can easily say that a row moves me from stressed to calm.  After 10 to 20KM of rowing, I look at the world through a totally different scope AND I LIKE IT.  It is an experience that motivates me to take time to row more.

I had different motivations when I trained for the world championships and the Olympics, let me tell you.  There was a lot more going in my brain and it was not pretty.  On the other hand, training now at age 38, is awesome, because it has such an amazingly strong mental and physical healing effect.

I enjoyed the row so much that I want to make sure that I shout it loud and clear so that others who need a notch of motivation get to experience such a row too, even if one needs to squeeze the workout into a busy schedule.  

That is it for now,
row far, row smart, let the breathing dictate your stroke rate!

PS: Rowing Through, I am extra in it.  The movie is so bad that you almost must see it once.  There is a stupid loves story in it which makes the move R rates, total waste of a younger audience.  They could have so scrapped the S.X scene.  Ok, I will be quiet now :-)

This is pretty unusual..... Indoor rowing

Hello Rowers,
I found this gem on youtube. I must say that the shed reminded me of a place the husband-rower would be sent into exile if he did not behave in the main house. The rower's hand were shaking from the hard piece. Thank you for sharing this piece you can find rowing machines pretty much anywhere in this world thanks to Peter and Dick Dreissigacker.

The Calling a slow paced narration of rowing and coaching

Nice footage, nice talk about rowing, it is a little S-L-O-W paced but since we don't have too much rowing stuff, this is also worthwhile to watch.

Rowing a compilation that is really energetic and makes me want to row!

Ok this is a super cool compilation. More stuff like this will make the sport more popular.
Cool!

Oh my gosh what a heart warming story Hero of Harvard Crew (CSTV)

This a great story of a young student who found crew and overcoming her accidental disability. I am fan of her!

Massive Swiss Event at the Technical University of Zurich Fitness Event & Swiss Rowing Indoors

Have a look at all these people and rowing machines. This is cool place that I have visited BEFORE indoor rowing was so big. The fellow that is most engaged in this and leads those classes is a former teammate of mine from the Grasshopper Club. Go Switzerland!
