After rowing, Ness was happy. But even if your name is not Ness, there is happiness for you after rowing because aerobic exercise that is sufficiently vigorous significantly elevates the happy mixture your body is capable of manufacturing and spreading throughout your body. Which includes your brain. Which is somehow connected to your mind.
The above photo addresses another subject related to happiness: a person’s relationship to God. I found this photo while looking for rowing photos, even though it doesn’t show any rowing. It is located on a blog relating to its pictured theme, at THIS LINK.
Today’s rowing consisted of 11K while watching two DVDs about the next strength-training/pushups program I’m going to do. Here’s a hint: It won’t be a continuation of the “7 Days To 100 Pushups” program. It will be something different and in my opinion better, but it will still focus on pushups as its general exercise specialty.
The DVD-watching of the two instructional videos seemed to help enhance being focused while rowing. The only break I took while rowing was for the purpose of swapping DVDs. The session was done at a mostly constant, easy pace with the exception of the aforementioned break and a moderate sprint during the second-to-last of the 20 splits into which this session was divided by RowPro software.
Yes, my happiness level was enhanced afterwards.
Below is a view of today’s session from its information screen in my Concept2.com online logbook:
Much happiness derived from rowing to you.
