Don't despair…Sean and Alisa are smiling on the inside!  They just finished a row workout.  Remember when you trained in a globo gym?  Ever see  a rower in a globo gym?  When the globo gyms had a rower did you ever see anybody on it?  Nah..not really.  Do you know why?  BECAUSE ROWING WELL IS HARD WORK!  If it were easy you'd see whole studios of Concept 2 Rowers.  You'd hear women in the globo gym telling their friends, "I'll meet you at the rowers."  You don't hear that.  No, but you'll see them line up to use the treadmill.  Treadmill=Easy.  ROWER=EFFECTIVE.  Oh and that guy in the background is a United States Marine.  When he's not in the mountains, desert or jungle of some far-off land he lifts heavy weight and does double-unders and other "hard" exercises.  You know why?  Because it's hard.  And hard makes him stronger, more fit and mentally tougher.

You're welcome!

Why I Train      "So then, why do I do it?

The answers to this question are
both intuitively obvious to me, and yet at the same time a bit of a
challenge to articulate. After quite a bit of reflection however, I've
arrived at 3 primary reasons for why training has been a pivotal
component of my life for the past 30 years.
