Hello Paddlers!
I'm sorry I've missed the last three practices (two previous engagements, and one nasty flu bug). So, I was geared up to see folks at Equinox on Saturday, 4/28. I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that I was the only one who showed up for Jenn's workout. The good news is that I was the only one that showed up for Jenn's workout session!
We started with cardio, worked on abs (oh, my! I'm paying for that today!), strength and balance training, and flirted around some of the machines.
I felt very lucky to have a private session with a personal trainer of Jenn's caliber. Just like in the boat, she's smart, funny, intuitive, supportive, and courageous.
I hope everyone is well, and look forward to seeing you this coming Saturday.
Paddles Up!

1st Gym Workout
Hello all paddlers!
Yesterday (Sunday, April 22), Jenn walked some of us through a workout program directed at building the right strengths for paddling. The six of us that were there really appreciated the time Jenn spent helping us to get it "right". Good posture, thigh bones back, no curled wrists, shoulder blades down the middle of the back, etc.
We went through a stretching and warming up routine in the wood-floored workout room then moved on to the "machines". First up was the rowing machine which we all successfully mastered after individual help from Jenn. Then is was on to all of the various weight machines for lats, biceps, triceps and quads. Free weights were also introduced. We wound up in another workout room with the "bolus" (a new one for me) , ergo balls and towels for some post-workout stretching and cooling down. Everyone enjoyed the foam roller. It felt so good we just wanted to lay there forever.
The workout session was followed by a group meal at the Chinese restaurant down the street. Yum!
Hope to see all of you there at the next workout!
