The second hand model is a good deal unless it's in rough shape.

I'm a middle aged erg user and have somewhat inflexible ankles and arthritis in my big toes. My improved footstretchers are a lot more compatible with my feet.

I have had a D for a few years, and just picked up a dynamic used since I want to lower the stress on my body. I'm middle aged and inconsistent it my erg usage due to travel and seasonal sports which makes me prone to doing too much too soon when I get back on it. Slides were too much space. The dyn...

For me, given that my arthritis rapidly reduced going vegan, it's a very smart way to go. Almond milk is good too.

Hi, I'm a middle aged somewhat sporadic rower (depends on the seasons). I seem to get trouble with one of my biceps femoralis with rowing at the bone insertion on the back and side slightly below the knee. I row strapless and am working on being careful with some warmup and avoiding extremes of flex...

search for similar threads on "resistance" there are a lot of good tips in the replies.

I'm glad your feeling good. Idiopathic, yeah, great we don't know why... Still, folks over knives might be a great find to share with your patients. I don't have metobolic symptoms of any kind but going veggie reversed progression of my toe arthritis (hallux limitus) and was way better that 500 mg N...

Is it a fix or a band aid that just allows you to keep hurting yourself convinced everything's fine now?
Like the NFL player injecting steroids.
Checked out "forks over knives" movie yet?

You have to go down the rabbit hole, to see how deep it goes. Have fun!

Rowing books cover some of the especially useful poses, front/back/side plank, boat and arch, and hip flexor stretches like warriors. The caution notes from the other posters also make sense, as in pigeon and sitting on my heels like child can aggrevate my IT bands and ligaments. Walking is also goo...

I'd suggest doing intervals like from the Peter plan, 500mx8 w 2min rest, 2000k x 3 or 4 with 4 min rest. Try to work them down seconds or ever 1 second per week. Do you have a HR monitor? You may be feeling like your working but still far from your limits. When you're doing 500mx8 and 2 minutes res...

I bought one last year for a model D.
I use cable ties on the sides to keep it from popping off during sprints, rather than routing the cord under as shown on the website.
It does work.

Use it more to stay below 80% or 85% HR unless you are exceeding for a specific reason. See http://concept2.co.uk/training/ Most people have trouble getting their HR up to an interesting level when getting started. Search for the "low resistance" or "low heartrate" threads if you encounter this prob...

Check out "forks over knives" for an inspiring movie showing unhealthy people returning to health. I was out XC skiing for 3 hours yesterday. Being fit and healthy can have so many benefits.

good news. better safe than sorry. the heart rate monitor is useful for training regardless.
