Winter Training Program
Long Island Rowing offers indoor winter training to improve conditioning, strength and power over the winter period when most competitive athletic programs are on hiatus. Results have proven that athletes who maintain and improve conditioning between competitive seasons return far more prepared for spring competition than athletes who do not train with a team over this period.
We encourage athletes from 7th grade to 12th grade (12 years old to 19 years old) from any competitive program on Long Island to participate. Afternoon sessions are divided by levels of fitness and athletes progress form level to level as they improve.
We focus primarily on the technique, strength and power needed to improve rowing ability, however since rowing engages almost all the muscles of the body any athlete will benefit from our intense training process. Athletes will compete in three ERG races we participate in over the season culminating with the largest ERG race in the world held at Boston University Uganis Gym.
Coach Anika Selle-Giehl oversees the program combining both aerobic training using EA’s myriad of bicycles, treadmills, elliptical and stair climbers - rowing technique and power improvement on 12 of our ERG (rowing) machines - with core and rowing specific strength conditioning to round out the program.
The official winter training site of Long Island Rowing is the Eastern Athletic gym on Jericho Turnpike in Huntington Station. Our athletes train 5-days per week (Monday – Friday) from 3:45PM to 6:00PM. All athletes will be assigned an LIRC gym member ID permitting access and use all bathroom, locker and shower facilities.
The 2011/2012 Winter Training season runs 19-weeks beginning on Monday, November 21, 2011 and ending Friday, March 30, 2012.
