Change in training routine!!! Result: more power and more distance

Hello Rowers and Visitors.

Most of you know that for 7 years I have been leading indoor rowing workouts.  I have now stopped running these workouts for two reasons :-)

1. My daughter started 7. grade and needs to be at school an hour before her siblings... running classes at 7AM was not fitting in anymore.

2. I am using my time more for my growing sons who want to start rowing...

3. I began the job of advising the Mexican National Rowing Team.

4. I am coaching two brothers who are capable of going really fast in their boat....  the goal is London 2012 :-)

Since the change in my "job" I am very pleased to announce that I am pushing harder and farther when I row on my own.  I always appreciated running classes and motivating others to row.  I did not realize how little air I was using to push my own strokes.  My home routine is currently an hour of rowing, actually today I pushed an additional 15 minutes with the total distance rowed being 18000 meters.  As I sit typing this blog entry, I feel worked out and calm.  I feel relaxed and satisfied with my shape.  I am looking forward to getting back into better shape....  this is hard to believe because I never stopped rowing for most of my life.

If you are interested in being coached by me have a look at www.xenorowingcoach.com and if you want to row to my workouts visit www.row2go.com.

It is important that you know what proper rowing technique is, although no one needs to have perfect technique in order to be in shape, however it is important to know what the wrong technique is :-).

Row far!!!

Rowing at the Head of the Charles and beyond.

Hello Rowers
I followed the racing on the Head of the Charles' website. It was pretty good footage for live transmission. Hopefully, next year there will be more than one camera following the race.
You can also check stories about this weekends racing on the row2k website. I left a comment on that website after I read that master rowers blame their losses on age. That can certainly be true, partially, but it often is due to a lack of smart training. As a coach I have the answers. Check out www. Xenorowingcoach.com

Indoor rowing still pretty unknown but growing steadily among general public knowledge

Often, indoor rowing and rowing is connoted to hard work and pain in throughout the body.  It does not have to be that way at all.  Rowing is a very gentle exercise for the joints and helps people of all ages maintain range of motion.  Depending on different studies, rowing involves up to 90% of the bodies muscles.  This leads to a very effective workout.  In addition to the exercise their is an international community of indoor rowing people  as well as on the water rowing folks.  You can find a world ranking on a website called www.concept2.com.   Concept2 makes metal rowing machines and is widely used among rowing clubs.  On the water hand there is also a wooden rowing machine manufacturer called Waterrower.  The latter is a very pleasant machine to row because of its comfortable seat, handle, and lovely sound of swishing water in the resistance drum.  Both machines provide an excellent workout.  I use Waterrower for my indoor rowing classes because the machine can be used for other exercises, such as triceps pushes, upright rows, and other standing lat exercises.  You can find more about it on youtube when you type "ironoarsman" or find me on www.row2go.com.
