What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?

You can’t get to greatness without some help.

Fact.

You’ll need to believe in a coach, a coach who believes in you, a coach that has your goals and performance in mind.

The Playbook series on netflix’s shares a few moments of insight that could change how you think about getting fit in 2022.

What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?

Yes, it’s the start of 2022, and the start of the rowing stroke is called the catch so it seems rather fitting to be writing and sharing today’s podcast called "{catch 22}.

Get the catch right and the rest can be worked on.

But here’s the other catch 22, if you’re not fit, and you don’t think you have time to get fit, you’ll never get fit. But if you make time to get fit you will.

Your health is an investment, time is something you can give yourself at no cost at all, and the return in value and quality of life is huge.

So if you change how you manage your time, and pay that time to you to get fit and healthy, given time you will.

I always think the hardest thing to do when you’re considering better health and fitness is getting started, the small thing, the small change.

I think doing small is easier than doing big.

What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?

It’s that funny time between Christmas and New Year, a time when we get a chance to reflect on the year that’s past, a chance to look at where you are, a chance to think about who we might want to be in the new year ahead.

I think getting fit is not just about the physical aspect of “doing it” but also the mental health aspect of “doing it”, getting fit that is.

The quote that is never wrong in my mind is, “have a healthy mind and body”, one comes with the other, and to be honest it’s more important to balance this now more than ever before.

One of the aspects of rowing (be that indoors or outdoors) that is not often talked about is the freedom you can experience physically and mental from being fit.

Fit to handle what life throughs at you.

I love rowing, and each and every stroke helps to strengthen the mind and body better than nearly any fitness program or sport.

Yes, the leg is better, but I’ve lost strength.

Here’s the thing, and it’s something worth sharing but keeping fit, and getting fit once your past 30 is a must in my experience.

As you all know having strained my hamstring whilst playing 5 a side football I’ve been out of action for just over 3 weeks.

The fitness seems the same now I’m back in the gym, but the strength has defiantly fallen off, and this happens to anyone and everyone over the age of 30……

What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?

I’ve learned by studying myself very closely that my daily training habit keeps my mental health strong.

What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?

I know it sounds too simple, but, once you’ve got fit to row, the next step is learning to row.

But, at this point of writing this blog and preparing for today’s podcast I don’t yet have a place or a boat to coach people to learn to row, but I’m giving it some serious thought.

If learning to row is something you might be interested in perhaps you could make contact with me and see if you can help bring the idea to life.

What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started?

Ok, let’s be honest I haven’t yet met anyone who likes carrying out the 2000m test.

But, I’ve also learnt that people don’t put enough focus into the mental prep and planning around the test.

So, I’ve given it some thought and have done a podcast around doing a 2k test.

How to think before, during and after a 2k test.
