Hello everyone, I helped coach a group of Orange County Firemen!

Hello Rowers,
Last Thursday, I went to Buena Park to coach a small group of firemen, who are about to start their indoor rowing challenge which will consist of rowing 30KM in the month of April. For some of us that distance is very manageable, however if rowing is new to someone, any distance can be challenging. Check out here the photo!

Weight Loss Standings

OK everyone...
The current situation with my weight loss is good. I keep losing weight on the Nutrisystem plan. I must confess that I have substituted a couple of food items to other food that I bought at the grocery store.
A couple of days ago I was due to order my next 28 day ration. I wanted to purchase only lunch, dinner and snacks, without breakfast stuff. However that is not possible, with Nutrisystem it is all or nothing. So I ordered a full round of everything and this time the price tag was in the upper $300, that is fine, since the diet is working. My energy level has increased since I have lost my first twenty pounds. If feel great. Check out my video log on www.youtube.com under "ironoarsman". If you have trouble finding it use Xeno Muller weight loss.
Being on this diet has given me a new goal. I want to combine a healthy life style through rowing and weight loss. That is it. Although my former ideas about rowing being good for: getting into college, "prehab" before joint replacement, "postrehab" after joint replacement, were all good, but I believe that the weight management issue can hit a huge group of people, me being part of it.
So stay tuned. The goal is to make people fitter and slimmer with rowing under my supervision, it is going to be awesome. I will live up to my own expectations to drop the weight, anything under 230 is the ultimate jackpot!!!!!!!

Cure for vertigo? Rowing might be an answer.

Remember, I am not a medical doctor. Read this, check with your doctor first before rowing.

One of our female rowers had her yearly check up and she was happy to tell her Doctor that she did not have anymore reoccurring vertigo. He asked her what she had been doing. Her answer: ROWING.

The back and forth movement of rowing could help people with vertigo...

Try it out, but make sure you check with your physician before starting any rowing exercise.

All the best,

XENO

Many reasons to row
If you are one of the millions out there looking for the fountain of youth and fitness then read on.

One of the best exercises you can do for your health is something that has been around since the 1800’s. It’s Rowing! Rowing is total body, total fitness for all ages, sizes and shapes.

Few sports can compete with the health benefits. The first rowing exclusive club was the Detroit Boat Club, which started in 1839!

Since 1981 a new phenomena in the sport of rowing has emerged and it’s called the Concept 2 Indoor Rowing Machine.

It is affordable, easy to use, total body fitness and it has sparked a rowing revolution for all ages, sizes and shapes.

Over the years the water sport of rowing has had to learn to share the spotlight with a machine. When the question is asked these days “Do you row?” you are very likely to hear the response as “Yes, I Concept 2 Row.”

Why Row?

Here are 10 good

reasons:

• Rowing exercises all major muscle groups

• Rowing exercises muscles through a wider range of motion than most exercises

• Rowing provides aerobic and anaerobic conditioning as well as strength conditioning

• Rowing is a great calorie burner

• Rowing is a lifelong sport that can be performed by all ages.

• Rowing offers diverse opportunities: inside, outside, on water, on land, competitively, or for self-satisfaction

• Rowing is a time efficient workout. It doesn’t take long to get a great workout

Still not convinced to give it a row?

Other benefits are:
