I developed golfers elbow and minor carpel tunnel from rowing some time ago. What I did: Changed back to a horizontal handle from the curved model d for a while wore elbow straps What seemed to work the best: Dropped the damper a little lower and rowed more gently. Now I turn my model d curved hand...

Don't give up too easily. I had problems with sore shoulders and tingely sensations in my fingers. I swtiched to much more gentle rowing and have very slowly worked my way up to harder rows than I was doing before, with (so far) no troublesome symptoms.

Unfortunately, I had a pre-existing condition with golfer's elbow. So only after three 3o-minute sessions, my left elbow started acting up. It's not the fault of the Concept machine.

At first, I thought that I wa...

Good going, I think you will like it. As you get stronger, you will pull more calories, and you will exceed 500 in an hour for sure. Today, my 10,000 m took 46.08 minutes and I pulled 573cal for example... good luck, N Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to figure out the right button to show the me...

So yesterday, the cardio kickboxing instructor was late. And I saw the Concept 2 rowing machines right in front of the room and decided to give it a try for 5 minutes. This is at LA Fitness. Not bad.
