Amen! I hit the gym today. They have a rower and I did 3,000 meters. I'm just getting over a cold and had me wheezing like crazy. I guess I'll do the rest at home tonight!

I'm back. Sorry I haven't been around a while. I hurt my back and went thru some therapy. I've been working out, but it's been outside stuff and no rowing. I will start rowing today with at least 5,000 meters a day and will add more as time goes on. I assume this will be picked up from my log? Wonde...

Sorry I haven't gotten any meters for the latest challenge but I've been in PT a bit and holding off a bit. Today, I got 10,000 in for the latest challenge and will try to keep it up. Tom

Good luck with your program. So far - so good.

There are similar posts on this forum, but they've been around for a while so I thought I would start a new thread with my experiences with it - Back problems/pain! :twisted: Hopefully this will help others with similar problems (or help others prevent it completely): I am 63 years old. I have bulgi...

D :) :o :shock: :lol: :roll: :arrow: Perhaps I should put Blue Boy ON the treadmill to wear him out!! I thought I would put that on as a joke. I've now had him five weeks. He is my contstant companion and has gained six pounds. At the same time I've LOST six pounds!! Fair trade- off! :roll: Started ...

My dog won't let me row (bites my feet while I'm on the erg) - now what?

There is a list of coaches on this forum. Why not find one and work with them IN PERSON for one or two times on your form? You will find that it is worth the money (some will help your free if it's just once or twice) and it will result in you rowing correctly/efficently. You are excited - that's no...

So is it safer to lose weight VERY quickly instead of having a heart attack from being too (perhaps morbidly) obese? Well, most of us fat guys (I'm always working on it) after a while know all about this. Want to know how to lose weight? Ask a fat person - they all know how to do it. The problem is ...

You will lose weight on the Atkins diet. Trouble is, rather than adding carbohydrate back into your diet (as his book says) a little bit at a time, I've found that most people try to keep their carbs too low (figuring it's already worked at zero carbs, so stay there). I've been on the diet and I los...

Thanks - that's a very nice compliment and I'm glad that I have something to offer. The best one of all: learn from my mistakes!! Yep, I've considered getting my PT certification just for my own satisfaction/knowledge. However, I'm retired (I was a police officer for 32 years in Montgomery County, M...

One of the great things (for us) is the rowers are available most of the time. I have my own at home & do use the one at the gym too. It's an amazing quality piece of equpment for a VERY reasonable price when you compare it to other very expensive pieces of equipment at the gym that don't compare in...

Thanks for posting my thread here. Hopefully, it will help others. During January, I rowed 620,000 meters. For me - a lot. The weight pored off of me. Trouble is - I was slightly overtrained. So I backed off and did not row for three weeks. Big MISTAKE. I started to feel lousy (tired) again. I shoul...

Pretty (cool) good video. It does mention decelerating on the return (slide) position. FYI: when I went to a pro coach for help, he slowed my return to 1/3 of the power stroke. The rest of the video is very similar to what I was taught. I (as mentioned) have a bad back/neck (bulging discs in neck an...

Dem's looks like IRISH tennies to me. Remember...we are all Irish on March 17.
