Concept2 Forum

Thanks, Eric! I'm looking forward to my fitness journey. I will check out the WOD.

Thanks for the tips. I agree about the eating, and have been on a weight loss plan for about two weeks now. I knew I wanted to get that straight before starting to row. And you're absolutely correct, I think, that 10k should be my goal distance, at least until I lose the weight. Thanks again for tak...

I originally bought a Model C in the late 90s. I loved the machine. It got me fit, and it got me through hard times (like my 7 year old son's leukemia treatments). I lived in Vermont/Upper NY at the time, and I actually met some of the Concept II guys. We moved to Virginia (where we didn't have a ba...
