Congratulations Bob in Munich. You inspire me!

Hey-I guess I got lucky. I don't think this is a cracked or broken rib. I rowed for 10 minutes today-fairly gently-and all is okay. I didn't even take an Aleve today. I'll shoot for 20 min tomorrow and then if thats okay, I'm good to go. Thanks for the help. It has been painful, but I would do it al...

How is it going Barbara? Where are you. Tell me you are still going strong. I hope you can help to motivate me. I have been on vacation for about ten days and bad for the other three.

My guess is that when the wave hit, one end of the boogie board hit me and the other was forced into the sand. It knocked the stuffing out of me. This occurred a week ago but I didn't get back home until the weekend. I had thought I would see my Dr first thing today, but it seems to be starting to e...

I just got back from a week at the beach. Glorious. While boogie boarding I cracked/bruised my ribs and/or tore a muscle which is very painful. It seems to be getting better but I have read to take it easy for a while. I have not rowed for a week and a half and I am anxious to get back into my routi...

I would also be interested to some degree. I am currently using a row plan from the UK website and got the idea to also use thedailyplate.com to determine the number of calories I need to eat to lose weight from someones posting here. I have lost about six pounds. I've used the dailyplate site for a...

I have only been rowing since mid May so my experience is limited. Tried rowing to Pixies, B-52s, REM, Talking Heads, Clash, Nirvana, some old Al Green is good. I'm gradually weeding out the ones that don't work. Good music doesn't always = good rowing cadence. Almost everything from Dwight Yoakum w...

I got your mix for slow long rows & used it today for a 55 minute row (as per the C2UK site weight loss plan I've been following). I'm older than you so only about half of the songs were ones I knew well and they made the row go quicker. The other half were mostly okay, but I guess they will grow on...

Renee-Special K makes a meal bar with 10 gr protein and less than 200 calories. They are really delish and will hold you for a couple of hours and would probably make a better breakfast than granola bars. I too am trying to lose and it is very slow. I keep reading all of the good information here an...

I have checked out the dailyplate.com and it is awesome! Thank you so much for the tip. It is very easy, has indoor rowing listed as an activity and I was up and running in no time. Can't thank you enough!!!

I have a heartbeat that periodically comes in too soon. In a treadmill stress test conducted by a cardiologist several years ago, it appeared to diminish in number when exercising. I was told at the time it was probably nothing to be concerned about, but it does mess up HRM readings. Does anyone kno...

Disgusting question, but I am so glad you asked. I am new to this (less than one month) and had been wondering. Is this also a newbie problem? Yes the cortisone helps. I have also switched to biking shorts with nothing under. Today was the first day like that and I had no irritation. Sounds kind of ...

Thanks, I think that is the info I needed.

Hey-I am 55, rowing to lose weight and new to all of this. It can be both intimidating and addicting, can't it! I only started on May 19, and am concerned about my form and stroke. I have seen Xeno mentioned and have visited the website. Someone suggested using two of his dvds to get started, but di...
