When your weight loss depends on your rowing... and where to use it...

Hello everyone.

Since 08082008, I started training seriously again.
The goal is to drop down to 220 pounds which I have not been since 2001 and increase my stamina to Olympic levels.

For this I have now surgically attached my rowing rowing machine to my rear end. Every waking moment at home I am now sitting on the rowing machine. Yes, I am exaggerating.

I found out a couple of tricks to keep my motivation high.

1. Music in my ears.

2. Stay within the 2mmol target heart rate.

3. Move the rowing machine around the back yard to avoid scenery burn out. And guess what, I might actually take the rowing machine somewhere else, maybe with a view of the Newport Harbor.

4. I need to get a better mic to film workouts elsewhere in the world with different scenery so that YOU, in case you own workouts of mine, don't get scenery burn out.

There is a whole bunch more I would be writing but there is a show on TV that the kids are watching.

    Good luck on your plans for the Olympics! You have a lot of people rooting for you!

    Can you please have a new blog entry regarding lactate testing and heart rate training? How does the 2mmol heart rate correspond to the training zones UT2, UT1, AT, TR, that are mentioned in the Concept2 training guide?

    Thanks,
