Way to go, Robin! By the way, I tried your baby sock technique over the rowbars and it worked great... the blisters I have were cushioned enough that the rowing wasn't painful. I did my 30-minute row today and have to say that for whatever reason, I've been fading out at the end... the row was a str...

I watched the video clip. Very cool. Thanks for the link.... I am ready for tomorrow's row with renewed energy and dare I say... better technique!

No, that doesn't confuse things at all. It really does help. Thank you. Maybe because my legs are stronger than my upper body, I don't FEEL quite the same amount of effort coming from my legs.... but they are in fact still working hard. Rowers sure are a helpful bunch!

Wow... Thanks for the helpful info, Dave and Jen. Rowing truly does for the upper body what running does for the lower body. I'm finding out exactly how little strength I have every time I get on the rower. But I won't give up!

[quote=Zac,Sep 10 2005, 06:25 PM]<br />I have been rowing for about 3 months and have made some decent progress. I find some of the advice on these boards to be a little too confusing and complicated. I've never rowed on the water and have never gotten into any kind of cardio on a continuous basis. ...

I started rowing in August and have found it a great overall workout. I joined Ducks in a Row and have been challenged to log in my times online and monitor my progress. My goal is to get onto the first page of rankings....HA! It's crazy hard. I thought I was a generally fit person and that after a ...
