Oh, Chris. You are an invaluable companion to have on these, here forums!

[Super-Dude]

God dammit Allan, I drew an exercising comic today that references Rocky as well. Now I have to wait a few weeks so it doesn't look like I'm copying you

[silleri]

Try rowing it's easy and fun, also a little bit POSH (ohhh:o ). There can't be a club too far away from you, most rowers(Australian), drink a ton of beer and are very merry.

[Allan]

I don't think rowing is a thing many Californians do.

[Super-Dude]

you can put a kayak on the beach and pretend to row in the sand

then stand out from, the crowd

you mean crew?I was on crew for a season and it was really hard to learn and even when I knew what to do it was still difficult! also once during a race, the kid rowing in front of me caught a crab (his oar got caught in the water which is bad when the boat is still moving very fast) because he was not paying attention and not rowing in time with everyone.. his oar popped out of the oarlock and almost hit me in the face. He was a dumbass. I was in really good shape after the season though from all the rowing.

But yeah ontopiccccccc...rowing machines are really good for exercise if you do them right. : D

[Super-Dude]

I live in perth and I've not seen a lick of rowing

what are your sources?

[pandaattack!]

Hey, Allan, my name is Panda; nice to meetcha! I'm pretty jealous of you right now: California has a ton of Crossfit gyms (I'm in Istanbul, they don't know what Crossfit even is...)! You should check one out. The gyms are these great athletic communities that focus on weightlifting, sprinting, and calisthenics (albeit more hardcore than "calisthenics" can give credit). They aim to make people equal parts sprinter, Olympic lifter, and gymnast. Everyone does the same workout (modified for skill and fitness level) and compete against the clock. It's super fun! They usually give you the first lesson or few lessons for free. I bet there's one near where you live!

shit thats happened to me except my wings rigger came off during state finals and I fell in, so I had to hold the rigger with the oars in it and hold on to a 15kilo boat (not fun). but hey I coach rowing now so it's all good.
