Some more info:

During the early morning sculling, we start with some strokes on the erg and/or
in the boat to warm up. Then we do a lot of drills to improve our strokes,
technique, and "team spirit" depending on everybody's needs.

In case we try to get in shape for races, we also do sprints and drills for
improving connection and strength.

We are off the water by 7.45AM or 8.00AM, depending when people need to be at
work.

Unfortunately there is no shower (except for some cold water outside the
boathouse) and no  blow dryers either.


BUT - it is still a lot of fun!!! I never feel better than on Thursdays after
rowing.


Yvonne

Sounds like fun! What do you guys do? How much does it cost? What time are you
off the water? Where are the locker rooms with hot showers and blow dryers? I'd
like to try it - Amber

	 Dear GAR masters and new rowers,

	 a small group of brave rowers is out on the water (nearly) every Thursday
morning, at 6.00 AM (meeting at the boathouse 5.50AM). Brian Motyer is our
wonderful and enthusiastic coach.

	 After the masters meeting last Sunday, Brian and I discussed on posting this
sculling event now more regularly in the web-calender and on opening it to
novice rowers!

	 Please feel all invited - novice and experienced rowers - to join us for an
awesome early morning work-out while viewing the most amazing sunrises over
Newman's Lake!

	 To guarantee an even workout between novice and experienced rowers, we suggest
having at least 4 novice rowers to fill a quart. Experienced rowers will be in
singles, doubles, or whoever wants to row together. Please sign up in the
calendar before Wednesday evenings, 8PM. Brian or myself, we will contact people
in case the rowing will be cancelled.

	 We hope to see you all out on the water soon - Mornings are great!!!!!!!!!!

GAR Masters,

Don't forget about the masters meeting this Sunday from 3-4 at the
boathouse pavillion. No need to bring anything just bring yourself.
Please sign up on the calendar if you can be there. I think it's
important that we meet and organize our team a little more. Brainstorm
ideas for how we can get everyone out rowing! We haven't been to a
regatta in full force in a while, going to the Hooch and seeing other
masters teams racing looks like a blast. Maybe that can be us next
year????

Sign up, hope to see you Sunday (it's only one hour!!)

Jen & Amber

Hey Amber,this is Dave Forrestel. Though i did not pay dues this
month (i knew i would not be around much) i would be willing to come
out and row sunday if you needed an eighth person. I would of course
pay the coaching fee. Just a thought.
Let me know by saturday evening so i don't stay out too late drinking.
Hope you and all the rowers had a great thanksgiving.

Subject: Re: [garmasters] novice rows

Amber - I'll be glad to work with any of these folks any time I can. Personally, after having coached six new folks in the oct Saturday, I can tell you that individual attention in doubles or singles would be a lot easier and probably more effective. I would also vote to not try so large a group in sculls again. It is much easier to work with a group in sweep boats, then go back to sculling once they have the basics down.

 

I'm expecting a couple of tose folks to contact me about private lessons. If they want to count those as their two add'l rows, then that's fine with me.

Please let me know if there is a small group who wants to come out at a time inconvenient to others. I'll work out something with them schedule-wise.

Thx for being so organized with this. Bill

Hey GAR Masters,
 
We had a successful sculling LTR on Saturday - our class had 11 people attend.
 
I have posted novice rows for Saturdays at 10:30, hoping to get at least 6 people at a time signed up with 2 masters so we can take out the two quads or the oct.
 
If you are available please volunteer to help out with these rows so everybody can have a chance to complete their next 2 practice rows. (it doesn't cost you anything)
 
Thanks so much!

More and more fitness centers are targeting this growing population, and rowing is a great way to reach them. Here’s why: User-controlled intensity: The Concept2 Indoor Rower allows seniors to row as hard or as easily as they like. The harder the rower pulls, the more resistance and the harder the workout will be. This is why our machine can be used by everyone from cardiac rehab patients to Olympic athletes. There is no danger of being forced to pull too hard. Seated exercise: For anyone with balance issues, the indoor rower is a terrific option. It allows the user to get full-body exercise from a seated position. In addition, the seated position is advantageous for people with a variety of foot and leg problems. It takes the full body weight off the legs and feet, but still allows the user to exercise and strengthen those areas while also promoting flexibility. Solution for vision impairment: For anyone with impaired vision, or even blindness, rowing is the perfect fitness solution. Concept2 offers free software called ErgChatter that gives a voice to the Performance Monitor, enabling vision-impaired rowers to hear their elapsed time, pace, meters rowed, etc, throughout their workout. Visit concept2.com/ergchatter for more information. Connection to a community: Rowing offers a vibrant community for seniors to join. They can join a challenge at their club or an online virtual team. There are even virtual teams composed entirely of rowers over 60! Read Oct/Nov 2007 Onsite Fitness's article  "Building a Senior Community with the C2 Indoor Rower."  Upcoming Events and Opportunities for Trainers   (top) Trade Show News: Concept2 will be a vendor at the Athletic Business Conference & Expo, November 29 – December 1, in Orlando, Florida. Over 300 manufacturers, suppliers, architects and consultants will be exhibiting at the conference with the latest products and innovations from the sports, recreation, fitness, active-aging and medical fitness industries. Stop by and visit us at booth number 1033. Training and Certification: Exceptional training is the foundation of delivering safe and effective exercise programs. When building an indoor/group rowing program in your facility, one of the most essential elements is developing highly trained personal trainers and group fitness instructors. Indoor Rowing Training and Certification by Rowbics ensures your club is able to teach members proper technique, offer innovative workouts and provide results for your members. Training and certification is offered throughout the country and can be hosted in your facility or in one of our locations in the U.S. Check out our training workshops calendar, which now features an interactive map to make it easy to find the training opportunities nearest you. Gold’s Gyms: Concept2 is now a Gold’s Gym International Preferred Vendor. Contact Tracy Desrocher at tracyd@... for more information.  PM Tech Tip   (top) Interval Workouts with the PM3 or PM4 Interval Workouts are a powerful training tool. They help you build intensity and add structure and interest to longer workouts. It’s easy to set up interval workouts on the PM3 and PM4. By presetting the Performance Monitor to run your interval workouts, the Performance Monitor will count down your work time/distance and rest time, and store results in Memory or on a LogCard. From the Main Menu, press Select Workout > New Workout. Choose the type of interval you wish to do: Intervals: Distance, Intervals: Time or Intervals: Variable. Enter the work time or distance for each interval along with the rest time. When you have entered all the intervals in your variable interval workout, press: No More Intervals. If you are using a LogCard, you will be given the opportunity to save the workout as a “Favorite.” If you think you may want to do the workout again another day, save it. You can always replace it with something else later. The PM will display your first interval and will await your first stroke, when it will begin timing the workout.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

I am 42 and have been rowing for two years. I usually scull in a quad but have swept some.

Keep me posted.

Yes. We would love to have you come and row with us. I won't be here but you can check the adult rowing calendar and sign up for any open rows - just send me your phone number and I'll send out a group email to let people know you will be here - it's nice to have a phone number in case we have to cancel last minute for any reason. Do you know how to get to Newnan's Lake? Are you familiar with the Gainesville area? We usually have a coach go out with us and share the $40 coaching fee between whoever shows up.
