Thanks for the support, dear ducks! <br /><br />It's true, between the cold and having the "stuffing" knocked out of me, I should expect a little less pep, but there's part of me (Miss Stoic or Miss Impatience, who can tell?) who thinks I should be back to normal already. (Common sense? Whazzat?!)<b...

Sorry for a man posting in the womens forum but I feel this is a serious matter that concerns all. These are the recommendations I follow. <br /><br />You can and should do light workout before completely well to quicken recovery. You should, however, not do any sessions until you know the nature of...

Well, it looks like I better keep "Avid Napper" whether it still fits or not! <br /><br />As for my kayak, it's a recreational model (Perception Sundance), which is really all I need for the wee little manmade lakes we paddle on in the Berkshires.<br /><br />Just about bought the farm in my 20s whit...

Just joined DIAR for I need all the inspiration I can get! (And my dear, departed mother used to call me "Ducky," so how could I resist?)<br /><br />I'm 45, 5'7" tall, and weigh around 168--though I weighed 176 when I got my erg in late December 2004. The pounds aren't exactly flying off after 256K,...

During my annual physical last November, my doctor told me to lose weight--something she (or her predecessors) have been telling me since I was a teenager. Though not athletic by any stretch of the imagination, I usually tried to do something in response--I've tried running, bicycling, swimming, the...

In response to jav1, I don't have the optional seat pad--was going to try the erg without it, and see how it goes. Perhaps it's time to make another investment in my rowing future?<br><br>That said, I am a grandchild of The Depression, so will try the other helpful, cost-free suggestions first. <br>...

I've been rowing two weeks, and have two questions that I believe qualify as Newbie fodder (as a person who is highly allergic to math, I suspect a lot of this and other threads will elude me even after I've rowed millions of meters.... ). The questions: <br><br>1) I'm uncertain as to where to place...

You want newbie? I've been rowing since 12/28/04--yes, for a week. Have worked up to at least 5K per day, but have no idea what my times are (humbling, I'm sure). One thing: Have you ever found yourself getting shaky while rowing? I hit a wall around 4200 meters today; felt as though I had a blood s...

I am under doctor's orders to exercise and lose weight (to combat rising blood pressure) and am finding this section very inspirational. My rower (or should I call it "erg"?) arrived today, and I'm looking forward to starting my fitness program with the knowledge gained here. <br><br>Have always enj...
