Hello Friends! What a ride! As we wrap up Season 2 of As The Flywheel Spins, I want to offer our gratitude for those who are joining us on this journey. Your feedback and encouragement are what keep our passion to deliver you a variety of new and interesting ways to use your Concept2 machines. Season 2 was our opportunity to expand our workouts beyond the RowErg to the SkiErg and the BikeErg, as well. It has been exciting to realize how much more there is to work with!
Here were some of our favorite workouts through the season:
- A Tale of the Charles - Rowing with Peter and Dick is an experience. They are masters of their machines. If anyone claims that rowing with the damper set to 1 is easy, this is the workout to convince you otherwise. Was it a challenge? Yes. Are you up for a challenge? I hope so!
- Super Powers Activate - This workout has you on the BikeErg for a solid hour. You will go from a steady effort to your superhero effort. It's a fun, constantly changing, ever distracting, long workout.
- Push the Pace - Pacing yourself on any of the Concept2 machines is difficult. Pacing yourself on SkiErg proves that point. To accomplish this workout successfully you must hold back, but just enough. You'll see.
These are just 3 of the 17 workouts of Season 2. There are so many more to check out if you haven't hit them all. Even if you have hit them all, you can always repeat and note your progress! Each time you complete one, you might learn something new about yourself or the machines. This is your journey and we hope that offering up these workouts make your journey a little more diverse and exciting!
Now, we are still getting used to this journey as well. Admittedly, Season 2 did not go quite as planned. The passionate hope was to deliver two workouts to you each week for the length of the season. We got 7 weeks in and we recognized that this was an unsustainable effort in time and energy to produce the same quality we had intended. So, we pulled production back to offering one workout each week from then on. That was hard, but it turned out to be a great decision on our side as it sets us up for a long road ahead.
So, what's ahead? Well, every year Concept2 holds our Holiday Challenge where we encourage you to accumulate as many meters as you possibly can between November 28 and December 24. Once you reach over 100k, we donate to one of five charities on your behalf. This is our 20th anniversary of the challenge. As the Flywheel Spins will produce a few LONG workouts through the weeks of the challenge to help you achieve your goal!
After that, we will look forward to Season 3 of As The Flywheel Spins starting up January 1, 2020. I can't think of a better way to ring in the New Year! We will deliver a workout a week and have some really fun things to highlight that we think you will love to hear about. Rumor has it that we will be stepping out of our small little recording studio here at Concept2 and putting some miles behind our meters. You'll have to stay tuned to find out!
Until then, have a great day and enjoy As the Flywheel Spins.
