Indoor rowing machines (or ergometers) were once used only by outdoor rowers during their winter training. Over the last twenty years however the benefits of indoor rowing have attracted more and more users, and now every gym comes with one as standard. It's also a sport in its own right, with competitions ranging from school leagues to the European and World Championships. The Complete Guide to Indoor Rowing is the first comprehensive book to focus on this unique form of strength-endurance training. Clearly illustrated in full colour and packed with information, training plans, tips and techniques, it is suitable for serious athletes, outdoor rowers and regular gym users alike, and is a must for health professionals and coaches. Whether you are attracted by the weight-loss benefits of the rowing machine or using it to coach cross-training athletes, this book will help you get the best from each session while, crucially, remaining injury-free.

No Excuses Accepted: Motivation on the Road to Recovery is about
overcoming life's difficulties. Jim Flood writes about his personal
experience of recovery in the aftermath of a serious automobile
accident that put him in a coma with multiple fractures throughout
his body and a serious brain injury that left him unable to think
clearly, remember his family, or run his business. It took Jim
three years and eight surgeries to be able to function properly
again.How do we recover from such a tragic event? What motivates us
to keep going, and what do we focus on? Jim outlines what he did to
help keep his spirits high when life looked so bleak. This book is
not only about recovery from injury, but about overcoming any
difficult situation life throws our way. Jim uses his injury as an
extreme metaphor for overcoming the problems we may encounter on
this journey called life.
