I assuming this study is focused on people with relatively low levels of fitness. I mean, 8/12 sec. intervals would hardly register with most fit people as even being intervals. I am wondering if this study has examined the possibility that longer intervals are required as peoples fitness increase. ...

8/12 sec. intervals triple fat burning?

news.com.au A REVOLUTION in weight loss is about to hit Australia after scientists devised a workout that burns three times the amount of fat. They found their specific brand of interval training prompts the body to click into a metabolic response that allows more fat to be burned under the skin an...

shock cord replacement

I just replaced the first shock cord in my model D, after around 1.3 million metres, as it was quite frayed, but not to the extent of making the core visible. I was starting also to notice fray fibres when oiling the chain, so I knew it was time to change. I was also experiencing greater than usual ...

Great for serious rowing squads or sporting institutes, but for a private person I think it is only bling. I can generate as much sweat on a C2 as I could on one of those. And a that price, I wouldn't want to get it dirty. :lol:

Percentages, geee that would involve too much mathematics for my brain. Right now my PB is 39:45 10K and 14820 for 1 hour. My all time PB 10K is 37:55.6 and 60 min 15'595. But those were almost two years ago when I first got my C2 D. I improved rapidly then, I think mainly because I was mixing weigh...

I've got a similar problem, my left shoulder has similar symptoms for a month now, and I am betting 99% it is an impinged or torn rotator cuff. Unfortunately telling the difference between torn or swollen is not easy, but the treatment is. Swollen usually only needs rest and physio, a tear often req...

Yeah I agree, but its not the appetite for rowing I am talking about, but the "hungry..need food" gastronomical appetite. After a 40 min row I am starving, after 60min similar intensity I not interested in food.

What gives?

Appetite comparison - 10K and 60min

Currently I am getting back into C2 rowing after a long on/off break (running and cycling primarily in this time). As I am in weight loss mode my primary rows are 10K and 60 min. Now a 10K at 1.59 average gives leaves me with a killer appetite. But if I do 2:02 average whilst the Big Hand does a ful...

My C2 D has done about 1.3 million metres, and the shock cord is quited frayed in parts, but the rubber is not visible. Unfortunately the fray fibres also accumulate in the chain. I am a bit disappointed it has only lasted this long, and whats worse is that I have ordered 2 cords from the local C2 r...

I must confess, being a bit of a tech-toy junkie, I can't do without Row Pro anymore! It is a great motivational tool, the best part being able to row against yourself (i.e using previous RowPro rows as pace boats). I mean, it is hard to swallow being beaten by yourself! :lol: Unfortunately, I just ...

I agree with Citroen, a good mix is the best for several reasons. Firstly, if you have only a low intensity regime, your body will adapt quickly and the benefits will taper off. In order to maintain benefit gains, one has to challenge ones body and constantly improve strength and endurance. Interval...
