Hi Dawn, I read your posting and good luck in your pursuit of the new(old) you. I am new to erging as well, but have learned that increasing your strokes per minute (SPM) is not really the goal. From reading many treads in this Forum, I have learned that keeping your SPM under 25 seems, to be prefer...

I bought a used WaterRower on Craigslist back last spring and thought I'd made the right decision. I was posting some good times and thought I was doing pretty well. I'm a 50 yr old male, 75 in, 88kg. I started posting my times on the C2 online logbook, because I liked the format, and periodically s...
