Remember those awful commercials - "I've fallen and I can't get up." This has long been one of my inspirations for trying to stay in shape. I don't want to be that lady.
At yesterday's exercise session John Leech, Wellness Center Supervisor, showed us a video of a rowing competition CRASH-B Sprints World Indoor Championships from 2000.
The C.R.A.S.H-B Sprints is the world championship for indoor rowing raced over a distance of 2,000 m on Concept2 indoor rowers - just like the one at the Meriter Wellness Center. For those of you metrically challenged like me, 2000 meters is about 1 and a quarter mile. At the age of 91 years young, Ernestine Bayer set the world record on the Concept II rowing ergometer for women over the age of 90. I think I just found my new inspiration.
Abs are way sore. 50 sit-ups with a seven-pound medicine ball held over my head might have been overdoing it day one!
