Re: weight loss and rowing

Good point. And I don't know that I can contribute all of my weight loss this week to rowing because I stopped drinking pop the day I started rowing. I figured that if I was going to be rowing every day, why lose all that work for a pop loaded with sugar/calories, or a diet pop loaded with excitotox...

Re: weight loss and rowing

I am so sorry! You all probably thought I was either a liar or superwoman when I said 30k in 60mins!!! lol what I meant was 15k! The rowing machine I use counts by 500m laps so 30 laps = 15k NOT 30k.. good news is, after rowing for 5 days straight, I took a rest day, then I rowed the next day, and y...

Re: weight loss and rowing

Because I don't have a concept2 rower at home, I'm not sure how much I trust the calories. My stroke rate ranges from 25-42 during my workouts. According to the machine, my distance for 60mins is usually around 30k. I average 2:00 for 500m. Hope that helps.

weight loss and rowing

I bought an at-home rowing machine this past Saturday. I rowed 30mins the first day, 60mins on the second and third day, and 40mins yesterday. That being said, I feel like I should be seeing some results by now. I'm not seeing much of change on the scale at all. I haven't been taking measurements bu...

I only wish I had a HR monitor! I think that will be my next fitness investment!

Re: Non-concept2 home rower

My theory was that it was measuring by 500m lap.. so every 1.0=500m. Meaning if I row 30x500m, it would equate to 15000m or 15k. Which could be possible considering that when I used to row on the concept2 at the YMCA, I would get to around 11k in 50minutes, and that was usually done after an hour lo...

Re: Non-concept2 home rower

It has a stroke per minute reading too but what I am trying to determine is the unit of measurement for distance. When I row for 60minutes, my distance is around 30.0. But, my question is, 30.0 what? Meters? Miles? Kilometers?

Non-concept2 home rower

I recently bought a rower for at home use. I have previously used the concept2 at the gym and the display panel on my at home machine is much less advanced. My panel only tracks calories, speed, distance and time. It was bought used and didn't include a manual so without the advanced panel of the co...
