Land rowers

I'll get it right this time.

Winter training for the ergs. Enjoy 😊

Good plan (as much as I know about rowing). I like to do plans like that but always forget to add in head cold, flu, sprained ankle, unexpected party, earthquake...

I hope everything goes to plan for you.

I must admit I don't know what 'ergs' are?

I am impressed by your plan. I'd like to wish you success with it.

An erg is a rowing machine Zest 🙂 Short for ergometer, which is all to do with energy measurements - which the Concept2 does.

It is also used as a verb. So, you can erg on an erg. 😂

Oh thank you so much! I was wondering about ergonomics - so this is good that I was on the right track. I think I'll hold back on using it as a verb though. lol

I erg, you erg, ShadowDee ergs. 😂

[Ceals in reply to MissisB]

Thanks for the explanation MissisB - I was totally lost.

Thank you for the post of your training plan - that is sooooo my idea of a training plan. 🙂 I am transferring the photo over to my phone so I can use it for my training plan. 😕

Looks impressive ShadowDee - if only i understood it!

[MissisB 4 stone in reply to Ceals]

Anything in particular Ceals 🙂

[Ceals in reply to MissisB]

I guess it is the Erg 2 thing - how do you know what an erg is? Or is it a setting on a concept 2 rowing machine? Or on any other machine? And what is UT2?

[MissisB 4 stone]

The erg is the rowing machine.

UT2 is working between 55% and 70% of your MHR (maximum heart rate). Or to put it another way, you should be able to hold a conversation whilst rowing.

Got it - thanks

[ShadowDee in reply to Ceals]

Thanks for sorting missisb I had rather a busy day.

Just got home! Husband took me out for dinner. Had the healthier option. Korean chicken and wild rice. Having green tea and gluten free toast now

[Ceals in reply to ShadowDee]

Love wild rice - you make great choices Shadowdee

[MissisB 4 stone in reply to ShadowDee]

Not a problem ShadowDee I know you train late.

Your dinner sounds very tasty.

I guess you are coeliac with your gluten free bread? (Nosey).

[ShadowDee in reply to MissisB]

I have IBS. I am slowly introducing wheat back but only once a week. If I have too much I get cramps.

Cramps on the water I'm trying to avoid lol

[MissisB 4 stone in reply to ShadowDee]

😕 That just complicates things for you. Not good.

It's a learning curb. But they are making really nice desserts now and more of a selection too.
