Thanks for getting back to me guys,<br />I've been training fairly seriously lately: rowing, static bike, etc and I just wanted some measure of whether I was improving at all; fitness wise. <br />Im loosing weight gradually but I also want to get fitter.<br /><br />Birkyboy, I understand totally wha...

Hey everyone, <br />I know that max heartrate, etc has been discussed in depth on the Concept 2 forums, but i was wondering about resting heartrate. Im male, 25, getting back into shape (training about 5-6 times per week at 45mins +) and yesterday morning, tested my resting heartrate and it was 48bp...

Thanks for your replies,<br />I will keep ye posted on how Im progressing. I train 60mins 5 nights a week (add 15 mins for warm up and cool down), keeping bpm's between 150 - 168 so i think it is a fairly good workout.<br /><br />Roland: I will keep an eye out for those products but just 1 question,...

To answer the questions,<br />My BMI = 30.3 :Always had a strong kind of build since my rugby/hurling days(irish sport), so i know that i am overweight but i would not see myself as obese.<br /><br />My height is 5ft 11", weight = 217/216lbs, my age is 25, due to a knee injury when i was 18, gave up...

Hi again, <br />I enjoyed xmas and since Ive been trying to get back to the weight I was before xmas and if possible, to go beyond that and get fitter etc.<br /><br />The reason Im writing is that Ive been training harder and better than ever (5 nights a week, mixing sessions with the static bike), ...

long rows are the way to go..its all about finding a balance between eating healtier and finding time to row every evening.<br><br>I started rowing about 4 months ago, would push myself and be torn up after 7 minutes, and again the next night and would be wrecked the following night and might not ro...

Thanks for all the answers. <br>I'm gonna give it one hell of a go tonight and break this rut. I was doing really well and losing weight, etc and then I just stopped. Up to this I've lost over a stone & a half and I've put back on about 2 pounds and I feel so uncomfortable with this slight increase ...

I just wanted to ask what people do to psyche themselves up??<br><br>The reason that I ask was that I was going really well on the rower, and there was a get together with old school mates, lots of beer, missed 1 day, then 2 and now its about 14 days and the whole rhythm is now gone. I'm a bit disgu...

Thanks guys, I dont drink tea or coffee so I never really snack on bars and sweets. Lately I've cut crisps out completely (really love them) and I've really cut the beer down.
