Are there video's that you would recommend to help me improve my rowing technique?

I injured my hip 2 weeks ago while rowing and haven't been able to row since then.

Interesting reading!

Thanks! I just went to Amazon.com and ordered it.

The easiest weight loss 'program' I've ever been on is to go low-fat vegan: no meat, fish, chicken, dairy, eggs, cheese etc. Keep all other fats including olive oil, canola etc to an absolute minimum and avoid highly processed stuff such as sugar, white bread, cookies, convenience foods etc. Concen...

I had problems with the same after very hard paced bike rides. A massage therapist took care of the initiial problem, and as she is also a Yoga instructor, she gave me a stretch to do before and after rides. I do this also first thing in the morning and before and after rowing as well. Put yourself...

Anyone ever deal with a hip flexor strain?
After a 45 minute bike ride in the morning, I did a 7500M row late in the day. With about 550M to go, my hip gave out.

On the Pete Plan...

5x1500M

34:33.1 (weak, but improving)

Well, I just completed my first 7 days with my C2. I have (for the most part) followed the Pete Plan. My distance so far is 56,767M.
I have lost 3 lbs, but more importantly, I can actually see some definition in my abs. It is one area that I didn't think would benefit as much as it has.

Congrats on your decision to get in shape. You'll like my story - I used to row in college 20 years ago but then stopped exercising. 10 years ago I used my erg for a year and got in shape, but stopped again. Last October I decided I had to do something or else. I'm a 39-year-old male, 6'3", I was 2...

I found the information.

Thanks guys for your help!

Is the Logcard utility on my PC or PM3?

Thanks!
Where do I go to set up new users?

My daughters use my C2 once in a while, which is great but the 5 or 10 minute rows show up on my Excel log sheet.
How can I clean up my log times to show just my times and distance?

Though I think that eggs are the most complete protein, beans are a better protein, supplying fiber, complex carbs and no cholestoral.

Does anyone change grips during a training session? Well, you do, and probably others doing that therapy. It is not, however, in the set of common drills for competitive rowers. I wasn't suggesting changing grip as part of competitive training, but rather as a way to work on different muscle groups...
