FatBusting : BartMan log.

hey Kea, welcome!<br />
<br />
Also tdo your aerobic stuff after your weight session, as your weights will have burned up the energy stored in your muscles, so it is the fat your body starts into for the aerobic bit.<br />
<br />
THat aside, a nice little row evening. 140 BPM, 5500m 20:28.6 minutes. -

sports science and understanding is changing, but the human body isn't. I can't get my heart rate that high for 30 minutes without passing out!! That is max effort for me, and can crank it to that for a few minutes. Can hold it around 150 forever, but with the same effort from minute one to minute 30, my heart will climb from 135 at the start, to the 160ish at the end of the row.<br />
<br />
I don't think you could train all week at that sort of rate Hooroo - you need to mix it up. Me doing the slow rows, the Mogwai rows, and also the interval things, but with 30 secs effort and 90 secs rest, uintiol passing out (that is the 30 minutes too!!) or almost.<br />
<br />
Was losing weight merrily but body got used to the med heart rate thing, so have been upping effort rate into those high zones and doing intervals etc. Have lost seven inches off my waist since starting all this rowing.<br />
<br />
So what am I saying, do what works, as they both do. It's all about opinions, as on here. Your PT Hooroo, thinks you need to go mad into the high zones, while the next PT at the next gym will be the opposite, and then your opinoin would be opposite too...<br />

You're dead right. It's only to be done twice a week. Maintaining it isn't too hard except that I feel shattered after. There is weights involved too and when inbetween different weights you are supposed to (with this programme) jump on the bike for a minute and go full tilt to get your heart rate back up. It really is excellent -
long weekend, so did nothing on Saturday and Sunday (mainly because of fucked up gym hours on the sunday, wankers0. <br />
<br />
Monday rowed 10 mins 2753m, weights session, rowed 5000m, 18:42.4 then watched BoP thump Harbour in the sun, was very nice :coolsmiley: -
Is rowing good?<br />
<br />
(simplistic question I know) -
Molrning row 2592 10 minutes. I STILL HATE THE COLD.<br />
<br />
yes. - an answer to match...<br />
<br />
I love it, total body workout, as hard or as easy as you feel like going at the time. At the moment feeling slow and low (its WINTER), so just cruising.<br />
<br />
No impact on any joints, which is good for me with knees and ankles that your typical front rower possess.<br />
<br />
S'pose people could get back problems, but only if they row with bad form etc. I have never had any problems, but have been concious of the potential problem, hence probably avoiding it.<br />
<br />
also like the online log, so you can compete with the other nerds who log their rows. -

Mrs Chowie shrunk one of my tees a coulple of weeks ago, and now it fits again! -
You will find entry forms at any good gym. Otherwise email [email="awinwood@xtra.co.nz"]awinwood@xtra.co.nz[/email]. - will send you full competition calendar. There is a heap of comps coming up over the next few months . NZ champs in September, though this is shorter rows - 300m - 2000m.
-
The house of plain going to enter a team - where are the champs? I would be keen I think to get into it if you can raise one - a team that is!!<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, a morning row of 3500Â 13:15.06<br />
<br />
I'll have to start putting in the longer rows though if we do a 100,000 thing!!
