Thanks for the info. I have passed all this information on to the local Family Y gym. Hopefully with Concept2's help, they can figure it out.<br /><br />Ellen

There are two rowing machines at our local gym. One of them has been vibrating badly for a couple of weeks. I keep advising the management that there is some kind of problem. They have vacuumed it, lubed it, and thought they checked screws for tightness but it is still vibrating. The pm3 and the fly...

I like Linda's chart. I will keep a copy of that. It did occur to me that if I were at a high HR for a longer period of time, it might take longer for my HR to fall Even though 148-151 isn't my max HR (I have rowed or walked and gotten to over 160) I don't think I could row 15 minutes in that heart ...

I did a 9k row last night, rowing about 5 minute intervals at about 120-125 heart rate and every sixth minute rowing faster to get heart rate up to about 145-148. At the end I rowed fast enough to get heart rate up to 151. I then checked it after I stopped. It had dropped 30 points by 50 seconds and...

Thanks for all the thoughts and the photos. I do a full round of exercises with weights but I might increase the chest and shoulder exercises. Lately I have been trying to do some exercises for carpal tunnel. I have thought about this a bit more and I realize I have had this same numbness or tinglin...

Thanks for the book recommendations. I will probably buy both books since I am a book addict. I really like the "Idiot" and "Dummy" books. Sometimes you just have to start at the beginning because other books assume you already know some basics that maybe you don't, and usually the "Idiot" books use...

Ooops!! I did screw up on the 220 minus your age formula.... Also I don't think I made myself clear. I mostly use the bike mostly for warm up or cool down or a bit of crosstraining when I erg at the gym. I do workout much harder than that..... Many times I have gotten to 100% max (160 and above) on ...

I am 62 year old overweight female. I have been rowing and working out for close to a year. I do not consider myself fit even though I am much, much improved over a year ago. I thought I understood how heart rate and age related....the rule of 120 minus your age to set your supposed max heart rate b...

I have been rowing more lately....Holiday Challenge being part of it and the more I row the more I notice during the day my fingers, thumbs and part of my hand feels partly asleep...tingly...it is particularly bad early in the morning while still in bed...if I didn't know better I would think I had ...

Just wonderful!! I definitely know about the door having to be open and the face glowing red....<br /><br />Ellen

Woolly and Buffle....count me in on the virtual January challenge. Whoever decides to be a captain can give me directions and I will follow.<br /><br />Ellen<br />DIAR

Count me in on the weight loss challenge. Rowing has been an awesome help in losing weight. I know what I have to do to lose weight...daily exercise and limit carbs. A bit of history: I lost 88 pounds in 2002 doing low carb but more extreme than now and then put 70 of it back on by February 9th of t...

I finished the 200k Holiday Challenge yesterday (Dec 11). I had been doing about 11k per day and decided Saturday morning if I did 18k that day and 16k on Sunday I would be DONE. Rather foolishly I also did a pretty heavy leg workout on the leg machines at the gym on Saturday.<br /><br /> Sunday I k...
