World Wide Membership for workouts live and on demand!

Hello rowers and fitness seekers!

We had another successful live stream on Saturday morning. We had a total of 40 viewers/active rowing participants geographical stretching across the globe from Perth Australia, where it was 11 PM local time, to Paris France 5PM local if my math is correct.

Feedback was absolutely terrific. Husbands and wives shared using their rowing machine for the two 45 minute workouts that I lead at the Iron Oarsman, our indoor rowing studio, in Costa Mesa, California.

The most common comments were that it was fun to row while following my lead and that 45 minutes on the rowing machine flew by in a flash. For those who did not row, great enjoyment came from using the chatting module and meeting one another and commenting on the different exercises that I showed during the broadcast. From the U.K. it was mentioned that being live is exciting, but may not always fit into people's busy schedule.

The solution to fit the workouts into people's schedule that I run, has been figured out over the weekend. Every workout is now recorded onto my personal page on Ustream.tv.

The URL to the page is as follows:

As I was rowing in my first class, I mentioned to my friend John who sat next to me, that I was using a 3G USB connection to the wireless web. He asked me if I knew what my upload limits were in my wireless contract. I responded that I had no idea! Later that day I checked with my carrier and I was just under the limit. For this reason it is logical that I create a membership based workout service. At the Iron Oarsman our members pay $99 per month to row. For the world wide web indoor rowing "row2go" membership I made calculations that $17 per month would fit perfectly for 24 monthly fresh workouts on demand. This is a great way to push between 5000 and 11000 meters 24 time per month, depending on your fitness and torque level. The monthly membership commitment is under total control of the end user. There is NO long term commitment, not in this time and economic age.

My plan is to do one live rowing workout a week. It is fun to respond to peoples questions and comments as we crank out the meters.

I envision corporations using our stream to motivate their employees to stay health by following the workouts that we put out. Rowing with with me will always be interesting because the footage is as fresh as a bakers fresh bread coming out of the oven. After six years of running workouts at the Iron Oarsman, I have become a professional at entertaining rowers with all sorts of workouts. Inventing new workouts is similar to all the different ways to mix up a Rubics cube.

So if you know someone who needs a little motivation or instruction to row, I am the solution.

All the best,

Weight loss and a better life through rowing

Hello WaterRowers and fintess seekers.

I am sitting at my desk strategizing my next business moves. Over the past years while running my indoor rowing workouts at the Iron Oarsman, I got several clues and ideas which at the time did not rattle me as key, but now with thousands of rowing kilometers under my belt, I am getting it... it is never to late.

I am going to use a clearer message that describes what my business goal is: Weight loss and a better life, with rowing.

For this purpose I am renaming my world wide web streams on Ustream.tv.

Rowing is a great sport because of its zero impact on joints and full body exercise characteristics. The notion of weight loss and a better life, can be understood by pretty much anyone who can read.

Funny enough, I will always battle body weight, which in truth is a great advantage, it will keep me motivated to move and row until I am three hundred years old!

So stay tuned and help spread the word.

Let's row!

Great rowing weekend on the world wide web

Hello Rowers and Fitness Seekers,

I successfully used Ustream this weekend to stream our indoor rowing workouts to the world wide web. At one point we had 35 visitors, some followed both 45 minute workouts on their rowing machine. For variety purpose we changed the angle of the camera. Sound and video came through great.

On Sunday, I held a 30 minute Q & A via Ustream, it worked great. I had forgotten that it was Easter Sunday. I found myself talking to rowers in my parent in law's cul de sac making sure that my kids did not injure themselves on their scooters.

The URL to the stream that I use is:

I have gotten great reviews for my sculling technique DVD that you can find here:

For those of you racing I wish you lots of speed. For those of you rowing for health and longevity, may every stroke be pure joy.

All the best,
Xeno

Ustream.tv and 3G internet

Alright, I have an urge to express my newly aquired knowledge faster than I can type...

1. Below is my link to live web streaming of future indoor rowing workouts that I am going lead. I am using a free website called Ustream.tv it is available to anyone and it is GREAT.

2. Let's set up a question answer live stream Sunday afternoon at 5PM Pacific Coast Standard Time using the link below. You can use the live message board and I will answer orally to the questions that I read. Send me an email if you are interested in joining, so I know what to expect: xeno@ironoarsman.com

3. With the 3G internet, I can travel up to 30 miles per hour using SKYPE and not lose any quality of sound and image.... Guess what, we could do this for live coaching on the water. What you need for this is to hook up your video camera with better zoom to the lap top that has the 3G internet enabled and VOILA!!! I can witness the rowing as it unfolds while traveling on the water.

4. For those of you who want to share with others who live far away, I highly recomend SKYPE and Ustream.tv. Ustream is similar to youtube, except you have the live version and you can broadcast to an unlimited number of specators.

5. I am applying for the job of: "Head Coach of the Orange Coast College Men's Rowing Program." Orange Coast College is a two year program that is a springboard for rowers whose path did not take them directly into a four year school. The hiring committee may not be looking for the best possible rowing coach, but more a combination of coach/master degree in some other field so that whoever is hired, can teach a course of some sort on campus. I only have a degree in International Relations from Brown, that is one strike against me. In my cover letter I mention that I would start an indoor rowing wellness program on campus for, faculty, students, and OCC employees.

Ok, that is it for now. Below is the link to Ustream.tv
