Re: New iPhone app Concept2 Indoor Rower: "ErgData"

I'm having trouble getting ErgData to know when to start and stop a workout. I get a message that says something like 'ready for workout' but it seems to be hit or miss on whether it gets logged to the workout log. Sometimes, it will say that it is an empty workout.

Re: LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

OK, it may not be rocket science, but I can't find out how to join Luna-tics!
