Hi, My exercise "carreer" has gone from cycling to gym and now exclusively to erging as my main source of exercise. I have always done chin-ups since I was a kid and continue with them as well as dips (I love those body weight exercises). I'm not manic about them but find they make me feel good. Hav...

I rowed 2000 m last night, stapless and it was weird at first, but my time was not that far off of my regular time.
