know??????

I run a couple of indoor ergo clubs.

I personally dont try any tests at such an early stage but if I did
would look at doing fixed seat feet out concentrating on back position
with hands away and then hands away body over...5 minutes on each then
another 5 minutes at quarter slide.

After that cover up the score and pop a heart rate monitor on...tell
them to go to full slide with the feet loosely held in place.
Depending on age /weight etc not to exceed a set heart rate...say
140/150 and a rate cap say 24/26 then look at the score at the end of
the session but talk to them throughout reminding them of what you
want to achieve.

I dont think a flat out blast with inadequate technique is necessarily
meaningful and quite possibly harmful if you have some unfit
overweight new rower having a go.

I’m talking ergo here.
I’m planning a winter ergo league for my club, the idea being that all
ages and abilities can take part; everyone will be benchmarked against
a target score based on sex/age/weight.  This is not intended to be a
particularly serious or competitive exercise – the senior rowers can
of course thrash themselves in competing against each other, but the
older folks and irregulars can derive benefit from it too.

Consequently I’m expecting (well, hoping) that there will be quite a
few participants who are new or fairly new to the ergo.  Many will be
occasional and recreational rowers of 40+.

My question is:  can I come up with a simple programme which can get
people who are unused to the ergo to pull a meaningful 2k within, say
three sessions?  Doesn’t need to be a brilliant time, but enough to
set down a marker for subsequent efforts.

The sort of thing I had in mind was:  by the end of session 1, come up
with a split they can sustain (ie not slipping above) for more than 3
minutes but less than 5.  By the end of session 2, be able to keep
that up for 6-7 minutes, by the end of session 3 do a 2k test at that
pace.

So – how to structure that first session, and maybe the next two to
arrived at this or any other desired result.
