Parler, Aviron: is the new naming trend gonna be using French words?

HIIT workouts are good but doing some cardio helps. And for beginner rowers I think it is a good idea to have learning programs so they don't fuck-up their back by not using their legs to their full potential. A side camera with some live coaching sessions would be tremondously helpful there.

You're 100% right - and that's the nice thing about purchasing an Aviron rower for your home, you're able to incorporate cardio, strength and HIIT workouts on one machine. We do have learning programs for beginners that show proper form etc. The machine also senses pace and output and will let the user know if they are moving too fast (for example). Live coaching would be cool - thanks for the suggestion!

FWIW Aviron means Airplane in Hebrew.

Good to know.

And I see a good parallel as rowing over still water feels like flying.

Yeah even though it's completely coincidental - "avir" means air in Hebrew. There's also the similarity to Avion which I would guess is not coincidental.
