I work out with weights in my rec room gym. I find it very meditative!<br /><br />Three times per week, I row first, then I lift for about half an hour, and then go running. On non-running days, I might combine a longer row with weight training. In summertime, I spend less time lifting and rowing, a...

...Now we're at #5!! <br />I don't know if it's due to increased rowing or new members joining (or both) but either way it's great to see. Nice work gals! Keep it up! <br /><br />I'm heading toward my 2nd million C2 metres. I would be stacking them up at a greater rate, except that because I'm train...

Sugar....ah, yes. All that bad stuff ending in "-ose".<br /><br />And here we are in the midst of the Christmas season with all the goodies being offered on every groaning buffet, coffee table, Mum's *** DELETE - SPAM ***..."but it's your favourite, sweetie; chocolate-coated iced coconut maple sugar...

Orli, to lose weight:<br /><br />Give up sugar (in all forms) for 30 days.<br /><br />Trust me, it works.<br /><br />

Inspiration?<br />Think how great you'll feel when you've finished the piece! <br />Also, I find it helps me a lot on long rows to do a "hard 30" every 500 m. During the slower parts, I find myself looking forward to the next hard 30....sick, eh?<br />

To lose weight:<br />1) Give up sugar. All of it. No exceptions. It is the poison that keeps people fat. Read labels - you'd be amazed what has sugar in it. Avoid anything that comes in boxes or bags; just eat Mother Nature's food.<br />2) Eat loads of veg - as close to its natural state as possible...

I finished my 2005 C2 200K Holiday Challenge this morning. It was great, and I even managed to hit the 2nd place spot in the rankings for LWW 30-39 in the half marathon last week. My hands look like ground beef! I ordered a hoodie this morning. Tomorrow morning I'm going for a long run.<br /><br />H...

I row, I run (half marathons), I lift weights, I ride my horse. I also take a brisk walk around town each day at lunchtime for 35-45 minutes. In the summer, the rowing drops off and I ride my bike instead, to get outside & take advantage of the lovely weather. And I have recently started to incorpor...

Thanks for the fingerless gloves idea; I might try that. I do have a pair of padded-palm biking gloves.<br /><br />I know there are folks who believe that you shouldn't wear gloves to row. When I was rowing on the water in university, there seemed to be an aversion to wearing gloves. But I found tha...

Here's a mundane but not insignificant problem: My hands look like ground beef! <br /><br />The handle on my C2 gives me terrible blisters. I have to take off all my rings before rowing because they rip up the C2 handle so badly....and they make the blistering worse. Of course, when I take a break f...

Nothing wrong with carbohydrates - I eat loads of fruit and vegetables. These are carb energy sources as well. No one would advocate eating "only" protein - after all, you'd be bored silly and never be able to go to the bathroom.<br /><br />Seriously, I gave up sugar, not <i>quality carbohydrates</i...
