Following a strapless 5k I decided to try rowing with loose foot straps. I was encouraged to do this as a training technique years ago when i was in a boat crew and I forgot what difference it makes. There's a huge temptation to strap in your feet as tightly as possible, but it's really not necessary. Just looping the straps loosely over the bridge of your feet - literally just enough to stop you flying backwards off your seat - gives you so much flexibility and power if your technique is right. Does anyone regularly train like this, or has anyone else even tried it?
Hi - I'm new to erg and a bit out of shape at the moment - is best way to get started to jump in to the workouts and follow the beginner recommendations? Thanks!
This week as I was ramping up my Week 18 Session 1 workout, I was especially motivated by listening to music by 20th century German composer Paul Hindemith (1895-1963): https://music.amazon.com/albums/B0050FWZQM?ref=dm_sh_61dc-0e53-dmcp-6532-82675&musicTerritory=US&marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER https://music.amazon.com/albums/B00BQRWWOI?ref=dm_sh_f504-ebd2-dmcp-701e-4699d&musicTerritory=US&marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER Cheers!
This is awesome. Go Eric! Go Zerg!
