Concept2 Forum

Well, I'm keeping at it. I am rowing 4-5 days per week, and my progress is slow but continual. I am doing 1500 meter sessions now. I have completed my wide stance foot board 2 sessions ago, and have some new hip muscles, and my pace has slowed. If I could keep it up and do 5000 meters in 40 minutes,...

One other thing, why are some of the forum rowers such jerks compared to the couch to 5k running crowd? My sister took up running this year. She went out and could barely jog slowly for a minute. She posted her results and got a huge outpouring of support and advice. After 2 months, she ran her firs...

Some things to consider: * I can squat 200 pounds, but with a wide stance. The rower does not allow this stance. * For those of you telling me I was wasting my time, what are you even doing on this forum, it is clearly a waste of your time, you are such elite athletes, shouldn't you be setting some ...

I think you need to generate a plan. So that each rowing session has a positive target and you do more than a worthlessly short session (like you're doing now). This is what I am looking for, but I am struggling with making my body correctly work on the machine. It is not like free weights where yo...

The problem is my hip adductors. I can pull much harder with my legs, but I give out even quicker. I can squat 200 pounds easily (with a wide stance), but walk with a fairly pronated gait. I take 3 flights of stairs several times per day at work, and do it without being winded. I'm fat and out of sh...

OK, so I've been at this 5 days, and I'd like some more advice. I am rowing knees apart as it is more comfortable, and I may actually make a foot platform to better facilitate this stance. My issue is one of endurance. Back in my weightlifting days, it was easy to get started and make rapid gains as...

Well, last night I ended up working late and didn't get in a second session. This morning before work, I got in 2 short sessions with a small break between them. In the first session, I did 4 minutes with my knees closed. I eagerly await my Nike undergarments, but today was better than yesterday in ...

Hi, I didn't see a beginners forum here so this seemed to be the forum that would best fit my question. I am a 44 year old fat guy. I have been away from an active life for many years due to significant health problems. I have recently been cleared for exercise, and want to get the fat off. I am cur...
