Re: New to rowing
Thought I'd update my progress. I just got back in the saddle after 3 weeks off. Heart rate has dropped significantly. I clocked a 48bpm a week ago and 57bpm sitting here after a cup of tea and taking the dogs for a walk. I'm glad I've seemingly dropped my heart rate with a very simple fitness basel...

New to rowing
Hello all, I picked up a used Model D rower the other day after keeping my eye out for one for a while. Got the Concept2 Utility installed and figured out the data card, etc. Took it for a 30min test drive this morning. Didnt know how to set it up properly for a 30min fixed workout, but I did 6,649 ...
