Team Row Pain, Row Gain

I started with an easy 500m today on a hire rower, we'll see if I can get my 2000/2001 rankings back. My goal is to build fitness so I can help coach my sons' football teams this year without being the "Who is that puffing purple guy lying down over there?"<br /><br />Regards<br /> Charlie<br /><br />Welcome! What a great goal. <br />Meri<br />

Rowing while recovering from broncitis really helped me clear my lungs. So, although I'm certainly not the fastest rower on the team, I believe I qulaify for the grossest! <br />Meri

I've learned so much from you and RowedandRode and others on this forum regarding weight loss. I just need to work on enforcing the principles. My virtual parner and I decided to start trying to loose 1 lb a week, reporting in every Friday. Last Friday, we started at 0 and we'll report to each other lbs + or - every Friday. Other ideas are most welcome. I can't devote hours to exercise-too many other life interuptions, like work, laundry, school, ect. So, I believe rowing is a good way to keep fit efficiently, but realize I MUST get better at counting calories. Perhaps I should try cross training as well. Thanks for sharing. <br />Meri

I try to row 3 times per week, about 5 to 6 km or so, I also run 3 times per week: a track workout on Tuesdays, 'sorta' long run up to 10 miles on Thu and long run up to 20 miles on Sunday. Saturday is a rest day. Have also been trying to improve diet, eating more lean meats & fish, fresh veggies & fruit, cutting out carbs like sugar, junk food, white bread, white pasta, potatoes, etc. Lost about 12 lbs over the last 3 months; lost 35 lbs over the last 2 years. Also several inches around the waist: will have to do something about my pants as they are starting to literally fall off... My wife likes that part.<br /><br />My weekly weigh-in is on Wed so here goes (I started a new program 3 weeks ago)<br /><br />Start: 168<br />Now: 165<br />Goal: 159<br /><br />This week: -1<br />Since start: -3<br />Rowed this week: 20,025m<br />Ran this week: 23 miles<br /><br />www.thepaleodiet.com<br /><br />Bert<br /><br />

Thanks Team<br /> <br />I was not going to work out have a sinus cold and dead tired but read the posts and figured what the h#@*! I'll do my sprint workout as a regular workout. 25 minutes is better than none no matter what the speed. <br />Thanks to all those that post it really helps us home rowing newbies not yet junkies!<br />Mary

Mike I like your idea for the weight loss idea stream. (Though I do miss you being on our team, I'm glad you still come back and post for us! ) We need all your successful expertise! <br /> Meri, I just noticed I wrote 6K instead of 600K big oops, sorry! Now that you're 1/2 way to 700. Not sure how my weigh in will go I just ate a hot dog with a regular bun-big time no no. <br />See you on the virtual scale tomorrow!<br />M
