So, I'm about a month in. I've logged my first 100k meters on the rower. I'm only down about 5 pounds, but I haven't been as good as I should have with my diet. Having been traveling a bit was part of that, but I think most of the blame lies at my own feet. 5 pounds is not bad for 1 month, but that ...

I've gone from 330 to (right now) 247, the last 35-40 of that came in the last year with a trainer who introduced me to the c2 rower. Sometimes we use the rower for as a warm up/down exercise. Other times, it's incorporated into the full workout crossfit style, always short quick rows between other ...

First - sorry for asking such a common question. I did a quick search first and didn't find the answers I was looking for, but a little more searching did pull up a number of related threads. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what to make of my observed number. 214 is significantly higher tha...

So, my C2 has arrived, and with it came that nice Suunto HRM. I've only had it a couple days, but I've already run into a few questions. The first is on maximum heart rate. According to the charts, I should expect my maximum heart rate to be about 220-35=185. However, I did an experiment to test it ...

Would anyone be interested in putting together a weight loss group here? Maybe even a team for the online rankings? My concept 2 just arrived today and I've verified that I can upload my stats. I think it would be great to have some virtual workout partners to help push me on.

the PM3 has USB connectivity. The 4 has ANT wireless - more games - and i think a drag factor display on a regular screen... i took the day off to wait for UPS when mine came...

Shhh!!! Don't burst my bubble. I need to feel good about that extra $150.

I've never used an E. I use a D at the gym, and that's what I just ordered for home. I didn't see anything in the E that seemed worth the extra money to me, but I'm not a sophisticated enough rower to know the difference. I did however, go for the PM4 version. The USB connectivity was important to m...

I really need the structure of a set program. I'm sure no matter what I do, It'll be an improvement. I just hate to think that I might not be doing the best I can. My trainer is not concept 2 certified and doesn't have a competitive rowing background. However, he is crossfit certified, and crossfit ...

Thanks. I had seen the UK site, but I chose the US one based solely on my impression of having a bit more variety in the workout. The UK workout suggestions are much less varied and less interesting. Perhaps that means it's more focussed and more effective? In general, I believe that training a vari...

Thanks. I hadn't really thought about that because my goal isn't to become a better rower. It's just a nice side effect. But now that I think about it, I definitely am very number oriented, and seeing changes there would definitely be motivating especially on the weeks where the scale isn't moving e...

It looks like my rower is set to arrive this Friday, so now is the time to start putting together my battle plan. I'd love to get some feedback from people here as a sanity check. First, the background. I've gone from 330 to 250 over the last 2 years. Most of that has been in spurts, separated by mo...
