Those are Concept 2 rowing machines modified to use a canoe stroke. The club has six and we had over 12 people show up for this Saturday's Erg workout. So we had to take turns doing our reps on the Ergs.



This Saturday we did reps of 5 minutes at different strokes rates sandwiched around a rep of 20 minutes. The workouts are similar to what I do on the Concept 2 at home except I don't take breaks between the reps. I do what's called interval training where you go all out for a few minutes then switch to a resting stroke rate for a few minutes then return back to the high intensity workout. But since we have so many people show up for the workouts at the boathouse we take full rests so we can do our reps in shifts. By taking the pure rests between reps we're doing something more along the lines of anaerobic threshold training.



But the best part about working out at the club house ... it's FUN!
