I don't have much to offer really but I can tell you I made it through that time with none of the grief either. I would guess that is more an individual thing based on your heredity rather than anything else but like I said, that is just a guess. I would definitely recommend an annual physical, espe...

Thank you so much for all of you who took the time to respond. It was very helpful. He is definitely bending his wrists and that may be the culprit. Once he can row again, we will make the tool you described, Alissa, as a reminder to keep the wrists straight, and Grams, we'll keep your suggestions i...

My husband has recently been experiencing symptoms which closely resemble carpal tunnel syndrome, except they are present in his small finger and the side of his ring finger nearest the small finger. There is tingling and pain in the two outer fingers with some pain extending up through the wrist an...

Hi Sasha, I'm glad to hear you're feeling better and that you came back to the forum. Maybe it would help if you start out rowing less than you were when it was a habit. If you find a good time each day and just try to row for a few minutes each day, it may soon become a habit again and you can grad...

Hi Tangela, Welcome to rowing. I was about to mention how much of an incentive the teams are and then I noticed you have already joined and you are right by me on the Ducks so welcome to the team, too! There seem to be several ducks who hit their first million in Sept. Hopefully we can all make it t...

Hi Sarah, Congratulations on the new model D and welcome to the Ducks! I think you will find the team helps a lot if you love a challenge. It seems to keep me rowing just to try and catch or pass the person in front of me on the team and hopefully you'll find this works for you, too. Good luck and k...

If you go to the C2 home page, second paragraph under training, and click on on-line rankings, you will see children ranked in the listings. I checked the 500 meter, age 0-12 and there were 2 pages of children's times listed and the children ranged from 3-12. Children can also join the virtual teams...

Hi Minna, I used the link and read your first post. What you are doing is incredible. I admire your determination and efforts to try new endeavors. I think your erg times are great, especially for only having rowed for a short time. I am a 62 year old woman and at first I felt intimidated by the sup...

Good luck in the race, Carla! I can't even imagine riding 100 miles, especially at that pace. Let us know how it goes.

Welcome to the wonderful world of rowing, melliemoo. We had a ski machine in the house for years as well as a stationery bike and I never used either but since we got the rower last Oct, I've been getting lots of exercise. After reading some posts on the forum when we first got our rower, both my hu...

Congratulations, Landlocked on hitting the 500,000 mark. I think the most important thing is that you have stuck with it. I think you will find that gradually you can go a minute or two longer and row a couple more meters. You can even set those as goals - to row one minute longer each week or somet...

Welcome to the Ducks, Rosie. We're always happy to have new members and the team will be an inspiration to you to keep up the good work. It sounds like you are off to a good start although I'm very sorry you lost your log card. I try to log my meters each day rather than rely on the card. If you don...

Laurie, I've been rowing since Nov and have only lost a few pounds. I suppose if I stuck to my plan of cutting out the sweets all together, I might do a little better :D Anyhow, what my husband and I both found is that we have lost inches around our waists so maybe you are gaining muscle which I'm t...
