After being in and around the fitness industry for the last 15 years I have noticed something that happens every year around March and on into Spring time. Fitness goals that were set back in December and January are now dwindling and holidays like St. Patty’s Day are almost being designed to derail you from accomplishing your fitness and health goals for the new year.
Exercise isn’t just for burning calories as regular physical activity also plays an important role in mental acuity and cognitive function which can help support a positive outlook on life and promote longevity. The best physical exercises are the types that offer full body engagement such as swimming, cross country skiing, and rowing.
You don’t have to be an Olympian to train like one. The following article was published July 3rd, 2017 and gives you a first hand interview from Jack and Voyage LA about his Roworx Fitness Center.
This program is great because it measures endurance, strength, fitness, mental toughness, and rowing technique all in one test. It can be used for all levels of athletes and since rowing is a low impact sport the benefits are seen and felt directly through the body and not by impact.
If you are like me and don’t have a background in swimming you will need all the help you can get and I have done enough Ironman and triathlon competitions around the world to give you the advice you need in order to get through your first race. Throughout 9 Full Ironman events worldwide including Nice, France, Florianopolis, Brazil, Cozumel, Mexico, Cairns, Australia, Mallorca, Spain, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Santa Rosa, California, Kalmar, Sweden, And Vichy, France I have experienced almost everything that can go wrong in an Ironman swim.
