Sorry I didn't include my age - 28 which makes the 8:16.9 more embarrassing.

Turning to rowing for all my fitness needs...

Well I am pretty new to the board and I thought I would start posting as a way of stying motivated.

This forum has been quite helpful...

I have just started rowing regularly due to the fact that I was bored with my old forms of cardio after lifting. I had been messing around on the machine before but I have been doing it regularly for a week now. After reading these forums for technique advice, I implemented some of that advice. My f...
