I've created this video to motivate myself. I hope it may be useful for somebody else too.

Don’t wait for motivation. Just start. Mood follows action.

During recent years I’ve been recording POV footage from most of my outdoor activities — paddling, rowing, biking, hiking, Nordic walking, and endurance races like MR340.

On FitOver67 this footage appears in two forms:

• 10-minute outdoor relaxation videos — short scenic sequences with natural sound and ambient music
• Longer 30–90 minute “outdoor scenery for indoor workouts” videos designed for rowing machines, indoor cycling, steady cardio, and endurance sessions

Recently I created a companion channel: Endurance Scenery Workouts -> link in comment

This new channel focuses entirely on long real-time POV endurance sessions: cycling, paddling, rowing, hiking, and more.

No talking. No hype. Just movement, scenery, rhythm, and steady training.

60 minutes paddling on Horsetooth Reservoir in Colorado aboard a Falcon canoe by Savage River.

Pros and cons of open ear bone-conducting headphones for paddle racing

I usually don’t listen to music in my paddling and training. I prefer sounds of nature. However, I tried some music in my recent Missouri River 340 races just for a couple hours and it was really helpful, especially, in the last day of race.

I pulled together my blog posts and race videos into one place - what it really feels like, how I train, and what actually matters out there.

At 70, I’m still learning every year.

I just posted 2nd part of POV footage from my recent paddling and training on Horsetooth Resevoir in Sea Wind expedition canoe (training for 2026 MR340 race).

Mindset for Active Aging: Lessons from Endurance Sports

I've created a new playlist in my FitOver67 Youtube channel: Active Aging Inspiration.
If you’ve spent enough time on the water, especially in long races, you know that paddling eventually becomes something else. It stops being just physical. It becomes mental. Philosophical, even.

During long efforts – like training sessions or races in the spirit of MR340 – you have hours to think. To process. To confront discomfort. To simplify things.

That’s where many of videos in this playlist come from. It is a collection of lessons pulled from endurance paddling, rowing, and long solo efforts – translated into ideas about mindset, resilience, and aging.
