I had this happen to me, early-on in my rowing on the Concept2. I discovered that it was caused by me sitting too far forward on the seat. Moving back helped stop the problem. Other people suggested that I also try taking a piece of bubble-wrap about twice the length of the seat, fold it in half, an...

Shalom!<br><br>In Alaska, they call 'em "Polaroids" (but not at all picturesque).<br><br>Anyway, what I found is that a medium-sized piece of bubble-wrap, folded in half and placed on the seat (the ergs, not mine), worked fine. And you can find bubble-wrap with small-, medium-, or large-sized bubble...

Training

When I think of intervals, it's different than what I've been reading here. I use intervals within a given workout; for example: if I'm rowing my usual 60-minutes, at the end of the first four minutes I'll row harder for a minute, dropping my 500m rate by 10 seconds, then recover at my regular 500m ...

As a going-away present from the gang at work, I received a Creative Nomad MuVo 128 NX -- for those who aren't familiar with it, it's a USB "disk on key" -- a 128MB memory chip and MP3/WMV player which plugs into a free USB port on your computer, and onto which you can download music in MP3 or WMV f...
