Indoor Rowing COOPs, affiliate programs for rowing clubs, building stronger communites.

Hello Rowers,

After listening to our new president's speech, I am more motivated than ever, to help communities enjoy the benefits of rowing. I feel it is my duty to share my knowledge of 24 years of active rowing from beginner, to Olympic gold and silver medalist, and now, as coach and indoor rowing entrepreneur.

In my last blog entry, I spoke about marketing rowing and helping clubs meet their yearly budget, by teaching rowing clubs how to run indoor rowing classes to people who have never experienced rowing before. Since, the hamster in my head has been rowing his rower, and I edged out an affiliate sales program. This program gives clubs with a website the opportunity to generate revenue through retailing product without holding inventory or the need to ship it. My rowing workout DVDs can be a start. From there I am sure that other rowing companies will follow suit and make such affiliate programs available too. For more information, feel free to get in touch with me and I will gladly explain how to proceed.

At this point of my life, as parent and husband, I am interested in building better and healthier communities through rowing, the way we have with our own indoor rowing studio here in Costa Mea, California. I would love to see independent indoor rowing studio COOPs flourish across our great nation. These COOPs can run smoothly without putting too much responsibility on one particular individual. They are run similarly to water rowing clubs, without the need of boats or water.

What I get out of the indoor rowing growth. I can explain this by identifying my three passions: My family, rowing, and making the world a better place. Through the growth of the indoor rowing market, I will be able to produce more learning and motivational tools such as the DVDs that I currently make available to others. The revenue will help me provide for my family, who means everything to me. My second passion is rowing and every aspect of it. Rowing builds character and team work. It keeps people mentally and physically healthy. Rowing helps reduce stress, and empowers people to confront greater challenges. Staying mobile and fit through rowing, will help me chase down my great grandchildren, and feel useful to younger generations. My third passion, dates as far back as I can remember. I want to make the world a better place and provide opportunity and happiness to everyone. I consider myself an expert in rowing, and rowing shall be my mean to help the world to be a better place.

Sincerely,
Xeno Muller

Letter To Alaska

Hello Alaskan Rower,

Here are a couple of tips on intensity and diet:

As far as heart rate goes. Here is a formula that can be used without too much outside help:

http://indoor-rowing.blogspot.com/2007/09/explanation-on-training.html

The most important is to find the routine to get on the rowing machine and put in time on the "water" figuratively speaking. The more strokes you take with the right technic you will find your stroke lengthening out and become more powerful.

Rowing is about efficiency for each stroke that you take. The torque part of the rowing stroke is what makes rating (strokes per minute) too high not necessary. You want the load per stroke to be such that your recovery is worth spending time on. The ratio between recovery and drive is 2 to 1 roughly. So when you drive the stroke, feel the effort, then on the recovery take your time to allow the arms to travel away from the chest until elbows are straight, then hinge at the hip joint to a forward body angle while your arms are still straight and your shoulders relaxed. At that point you raise the knees so that you feel the contraction of the hamstrings which draws you to the footboard. The rolling of the seat on the recovery is steady, whereas in the drive it is an acceleration. When rowing on the water, you actually draw the boat towards you.

Back to intensity: At our indoor rowing studio, I want to achieve two things: Smiles and sweaty shirts. When you achieve that at home in Alaska, you succeeded and will keep succeeding.

As for the weight loss, I am in the same boat as you are. I could lose thirty pounds, yet to do that I would have to row more. The family and business requirements have priority, so I don't get to row as much as I would want to. Therefore, it is important that I do not take in too many cheap and easy calories. Since March, I totally stopped soda pop, no more eating wrapped candy, no more fries and potatoes.

It was in March, that I used Nutrisystem to get myself jump started, with my weight loss. Nutrisystem showed me how LITTLE I needed to eat in order to lose weight. In a nutshell, every main meal would fit in one cup... There was a snack three times a day, which was small, and the anytime finger food were vegetables that you could eat as much as you wanted.

I hope this helps.

Good luck and happy new year.

Neck and Shoulder Tightness

Hello Rowers and WaterRowers,

Yesterday at the Iron Oarsman, I had a conversation with a couple of our rowers. They mentioned to me that they felt tight between the shoulders and the neck. They were a little worried that the rowing would not loosen up that area. The advice I gave, was to warm up gently by rowing full slide one arm at a time. This allows the stretch and hang off the arm and shoulder blade through the back and finger tips during the leg drive portion of the stroke.

The shoulder and neck area are often tight without someone noticing it until that area is used for moving something or when exercise is being done. Those muscles and their mobility are often victim to stress. It is therefore important to start out any exercise, whether it is rowing or jumping with potato bags, in a gentle smooth manner. Be patient when you warm up. Love your WaterRower, it will give you amazing benefits back for all your life.

All the best,

Xeno
