Hi Jean...what a great birthday present...a weight bench so you can get all toned and fab! My Valentine's gift 2 years ago to my husband was three year memberships to our gym and sessions with trainers...put it in a card that said "I love you so much I want to keep you forever and ever." He got the ...

Hi Jeanxx...the nice thing about weight lifting as a woman is that we don't bulk/Hulk up, unless we use steriods. Men's extra testosterone is what builds all the bulky muscle. In fact I'm 2 sizes smaller now than I was at the same weight when I only exercised with aerobics, walking, etc. When I'm wo...

This will be my first full month to get to row on the erg. So here's my goals!

1. Row 3-4x a week:40-60 min. each
2. Work on technique...need to work on the "glide."
3. Try rowing strapless!
4. Spin class 2x a week
5. Continue weight training
6. Core work to strengthen abs

Jxx, you are most definitely a hero to all the racers that you helped! Wow! I flipped once in a pre race training session and if my trainer hadn't been just down river I will probably still be hanging from the tree I grabbed. I took up rowing only 2 years ago and am proud to say at age 56 I was the ...

Thanks for the welcome fleabane...not sure what the "official" distance is for being an endurance kayaker...my longest was the Colorado 100 last September...did it in tandem in 22h51m. Trying to talk my kayaking partner into the Yukon 460 this July without much success...but both he and my husband h...

Have been lurking for the past month waiting to get on the erg! I'm an endurance kayaker, love to scull also. Have just finished radiation for very early stage breast cancer...which is why I couldn't get on the erg until now. I strenth train with a trainer (who also happens to be my tandem kayak par...

Hi Schenley...yes, a week will go by fast...and in the meantime, I will have the cleanest closets in the state of Texas! I'm hoping to get some sculling in when we go up to Austin the end of January...water is much calmer on their lakes than ours along the coast. Love sculling, but on Galveston Bay,...

Hi Schenley...thanks for the welcome. Yes, Rows as One is the sculling group for bc survivors. Awesome about your Mom! Wish I lived closer to the group...I love to scull, but it's difficult in the rough waters down here on the Texas coast...so I kayak and also row and coach with a dragon boat team. ...

Just found this site while looking at the Rows as One site! And the gym where I work out has added ergs! Finally! I compete in endurance kayak races...finished a 100 mile one Labor Day weekend and cannot wait to do it again in 2007. I train 3 days a week with a trainer (who happens to be my kayaking...
