This is the second part of "The Runner's Six-Pack". In this video, you'll learn three functional exercises that will build core muscle strength and running power. Although this series mainly caters to runners, I believe rowers can find a use for it too. After all, core muscles are an integral part of strength in any sport. Video after the jump.

Running magazine, runnersworld.com features Runner's Six-Pack, a two part video series on building abdominal muscles. Part one, 'Moves to Get Ripped', shows three simple exercises meant to build abdominal strength a.k.a
gaining a ripped six-pack. Shown in the video are the floor crunch, the bicycle crunch and the captain's chair crunch. The exercises are pretty simple and do not require any extra equipment other than a simple chair. FYI, weak core muscles (abdominal muscles) are the cause of that 'vomiting' feeling after a heavy erg session. Hit the six-pack image for the link.

Surf Rowing = Coastal Rowing? Actually surf rowing differs from coastal rowing. The key difference being surf rowing is flagged off in knee deep rolling surf i.e. the beach, whereas coastal rowing events start off in calmer waters. Another dissimilarity is an experienced helmsman or 'sweep', a vital member of the crew. The helmsman/sweep (similar to flat water coxswain) steers the boat with a large paddle, much like a dragon boat helmsman. The sweep may be seated or standing according to personal preference and surf condition (as
you will see in the video), where else in coastal rowing the cox is seated at all times like in ordinary flat water rowing (the kind we do). So when is URC taking to the high seas? The video after the jump was put together by UK Surf Rowers League (UKSRL). Hit "Read more" to catch the video.
