Same message left on the UK forum: Unfortunately I have been having a problem that started with some pain in the lower back (somewhat to the right of center), that began to radiate down the side and front of my right leg (all the way to the ankle). Long story short, I have a small disc herniation a...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I have a some questions. I just picked up a used Model C (with PM1) in good condition except for the seat rollers (already replaced). Now that the rollers are replaced I am trying to figure this rowing thing out. I'm having trouble with the catch and I am trying to figu...

Hi, I'm looking to improve my 2K for the upcoming season. My original plan was to just do 1 5K Monday through Friday, improving my time as the weeks go on. This is a nice and simple plan, However, whenever I see any else's training schedule it's very diverse and there are many acronyms (Which I hav...

For the past five months I have been rowing fairly consistantly on the water 4-5 times per week and on the erg 2-4 times per week. The henley regatta marked the end of the summer season and now I begin golf for the fall (a sport which i love and would not give up for crew). I plan on rowing in coll...

Am a real newcomer to this but after only 2 weeks of taking delivery of a new water rower, I'm totally hooked. I've snooped about this excellent forum and thought I'd post here as the women's forum seems to be pretty quiet...hope it's ok to gate-crash? My question is, my overall goals are to gain f...

Google is your friend.

I am new to rowing but not to fitness. I have began incorporating high intensity interval training (HIIT) on the row machine as part of my cardio activity. Two days a week I perform the following routine: 2 minute warm up, followed by rowing as fast as I can for 20 seconds, followed by a 10 second ...

Hi rowers!!! Today for the first time in my life I decided to try rowing in the local gym ergs instead of home. While i was rowing in this gym (the have the same c2 erg that i have at home), one of the gym teachers there came to me to correcy my technique. He said I was leaning too much at the end ...

Hi I just used a rower for the first time today. I think it was the old concept 2 with the resistance adjustment from 1-10 being a plastic bar on the side of the base. I was wondering if when I use the machine, is it supposed to feel like the resistance doesnt kick in until I'm further from the bas...

I did 2k/2k/1k/2k/2k/1k This stuff is hard but I keep reading of all the others who have lost weight and I want to lose weight. dammit. Here is a link to the C2 weight loss training program, just fill in the boxes and it will get you going. http://www.concept2.co.uk/weightloss/interactive.php Also ...

I was wondering what would be a healthy plan for me. I'm looking at hitting the gym 3-5 times a week, and on the days I'm not at the gym, doing light runs and little to no lifting (Excluding sit ups/push ups). This is just talk and I probally wont end up being THAT hardcore, but hopefully close. I'...

ALL RIGHT!

Good going!

I don't understand why a 1 lb. to 1 1/2 lb. per week weight loss is considered "safe" or more desirable than e.g. a 5lb. per week loss or even a 5lb. one week and nothing for the rest of the month loss. Yet I read this frequently. Can someone please explain the science and/or the research? It seems...
