Rowing is for EVERY body. And so is competing. Repost from @ergsprints - In 2018, for the first time ever, there will be two different world championship Para indoor rowing events: a 2k FISA-sanctioned para event, and a 1k championship para event. You do not need to qualify for either event to register. Find out more: www.concept2.com/news/Para-rowing-indoor-championships-news

Rowing is the relentless pursuit of the perfect stroke. It's kinda like golf that way. ⠀ ⠀ Get around a group of rowers, from novices all the way up to Olympians, and you'll hear them talking about elements of their stroke they want to work on. ⠀ ⠀ What you won't hear them talking about is how they're waiting for everything to be perfect before they get on the water or on the erg. ⠀ ⠀ Rowing is a lot like life. If you wait for the moment to be "just right," it will have passed you by.⠀ ⠀ In #rowing as in life, imperfection IS perfection. It's the beauty and grace of it all. ⠀ ⠀ Take the next stroke, then the next one, and the one after that. Dedication produces progress. #justkeeprowing ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #rowingislife #inspo #takethenextstroke #justrowwithit #motivationalquote #ucanrow2 #sethgodin #indoorrowing #noexcuses #getcertified #motivation #rowing #indoorrowing

The Holidays are almost here! Let's row some meters, keep away the Holiday pounds AND do some good in the world!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ This year we are proud to support two great charitable ventures - the @concept2inc Holiday Challenge and the 100K Meter Challenge.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Both allow you to row-ski-bike your way to 100,000 meters or more between Thanksgiving and Christmas. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The Holiday Challenge benefits one of four charities you pick. The 100K Meter Challenge benefits @carrytheload.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The Holiday Challenge is individual. You can do the 100K Meter Challenge the same way, or join Team UCanRow2!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ If you do both challenges your meters basically count double. AMAZING incentive to keep moving through the Holidays! A no-brainer.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Stay tuned here as well, we'll be dropping some new meter beater workouts to help you keep it interesting.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Link in bio @ucanrow2 for reg information!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #indoorrowing #skierg #bikeerg #holidays2017 #carrytheload #indoorcycling #running #concept2 #100kmchallenge (at UCanRow2)

Why are we the only ones smiling on this plane right now? Because we are STOKED to be heading to Austin for a sold-out indoor rowing instructor cert at @otlfitness tomorrow!! • Also stoked because you still have two days to grab our #metermonster and #flywheelfrenzy workout programs. • The feedback so far is 🔥🔥🔥, “Who knew rowing at 20spm could be so challenging?” And “Meter Monster workouts are killer great!!” • This is the first time we have ever offered our workouts in a systematic, done-for-you program online. They’re not for the absolute rowing novice, but they can be adapted for any fitness level above that. • And yes, you can sub in another cardio machine if you don’t have an erg handy! • These workouts go away on Sunday at midnight EST, not to be seen again until sometime next year. Hit the link in our bio for more information! • Let’s get after it!! • #metermonster #flywheelfrenzy #rowing #indoorrowing #getcertified #concept2

If there’s no room in your house to erg, an old pickup works just fine!
