Erging may be viewed by some as a 'monster' and by others as a 'tool'. I prefer to view it as the latter due to the consistency in feedback. The machine can be your best training partner because it will always give you impartial and consistent feedback. If you are dreading this winter and the workouts that are coming, I will work with you to get you past this barrier and embrace the positives that the machine brings along with it.
Focus: This week is intended to be a relatively soft entry into medium intensity erg workouts. The primary goals are to re-establish proper technique and loading of the fly wheel at the catch while the secondary goals are to prevent the forming of bad habits and prevent injury.
