A few months back I participated in a spinning marathon for a good cause. Since then I've been working on a music based work -out for rowing. <br /><br />I use the Triple Platina collection of Queen. I have a 40 min workout on my MP3 player. It is a mix of songs that go faster and faster - good for ...

Here's how I do it. I work out two to three times a week. I take a group class based on muscular endurance. Classes are at 5 pm or 6.15 pm depending on the days. On days I have a class at 5 pm, I row after class. On days I take the 6 pm class, I row before. I already got the hussle of going to the g...

I'm not an expert, but just suggestion. Couldn't replace your fresh vegtables by juices? Get a juice maker. I think raw vegtables bring in two vital ingredients: <br><br>1 fibers to stimulate the intenstines and avoid some types of cancers.<br>2 Vitamins and minerals. The more ingredients are heated...

WOW

I'm relatively new, so I don't know if my trainingprogram helps someone<br><br>I did the 30 min fitness program for a few months, but had no "feel" with it. I didn't get the easy - medium - hard week thing. I sometimes felt like ready for some very hard stuf in an easy week and vice versa. <br><br>N...

5000 m 21:28.5 <br>30 min 6922 m<br><br>I intended to do 2x 5 k today at about 6 K pace. The idea was to do get another 10 k closer to the milion meters without having to row non stop for 45 mins. I got behind on my work so I was later at the gym and hadn't time to do what I had planned. I have some...

Tougth I would do 3 x 3000 m between 5k and 2k pace. I started off to hard on the first row and "blew up my engine". I still managed to do the second row in about the same time, but the tird row I just pulled at about 10 K pace, just to finish it off

Congratulations. <br><br><br>75 K at 75 years, Wow, what an achievement.<br><br><br>I don't know about the Guinness book of records, but it sure deserves a pint of Guiness.<br><br>Happy Birthday

Male open class weigthliftes look like they came out of a bad fantasy movie, where the vilains are mountains of muscle. <br><br>With all due respect it must be one of the most humiliating sports. Think of it. He who lifts the biggest weigth wins. There's always a bunch of them who try to do the same...

Seeing as I'm new to rowing, I first need to build up endurance - aerobic power. So according to your answers it is best to continue rowing between intervals. I followed John's advice and did 6000 m yesteday, alternating 1000 m at 2 K pace and 1000 m at 10 K pace. It felt as if I had worked hard but...

This question has probably been asked 100 times or more but I'm new so here I go again. <br><br>I would like to able to pull harder for a longer time, what is the best option for interval work and resting times?<br><br>Do intervals and rest in between<br><br>Or <br><br>Rowing at a steady pace and HR...

Thanks for the wonderful story. <br><br>A real encouragment to keep on rowing<br>

Like the majority, I think gymnasts are the most impressive, combining flexibility, strength and control. Rowers of course have pretty awesome bodies too. <br><br>Rowing probably seems one of the toughest sports. On close up of rowers during a race you definetly see the pain on their faces and they ...

USA men's 8 terrific. <br><br>Holland silver. Go Dutch go. Saw the race on the dutch channel, they almost went out of the roof.
