Alignment of Body, Mind and Soul

As a team of four, our goal is set and agreed … to take part in ‘The World’s Toughest Row’ in 2025.  So that’s our minds and souls aligned – time to sort out the bodies! 

On Friday 11th November, we popped down to the Strength and Conditioning Unit at the University of Wales Trinity St David (UWTSD for short!) and met up with Geraint Forster, Programme Director within the Sport and Exercise Department. 

In short, it was brilliant!  Geraint had gone to a massive effort to prepare an interactive exercise programme that will focus on ensuring we stay injury free whilst maximising our efforts in the build up to our row in late 2025.  He insisted we spend the time learning to properly align our bodies and achieve a neutral stance.  Only once we have mastered this, can we move on to building up the strength in our bodies. 

We will keep in touch with the team at UWTSD as they support us through both the training assistance and the Adventure Film Students documenting our journey. 

Thank you to the whole team, it was a lovely day catching up with some old friends too … such wonderful memories and so many more to be made! Liz 🙂
