Hello! I am here but rowing has not yet been big in my workouts from my trainer. They are coming in more now so I will be posting more meters!!! I am happy bout that! I am undergoing a 1yr/100lb challenge!

Wait.....I figured it out. User error!

Today was my day to start back and it wasn't pretty. Just a 1k tomorrow a 2 k. Weird thing though. I was doing little sprints and my iPhone erg app misfired twice syncing! Felt good te start and to eat clean today as well.

Hey guys...I got off to a pretty good start in January but then my father fell ill and all my attention went to him. Not an excuse, just the truth. Sadly, he passed in April and now I have wond down the estate and am looking to get back to a normal life...the new normal...So I am getting back on the...

Been off the erg a few days with house guests. AND I was hiking in Death Valley and Red Rock Canyon. GREAT to be out there and seeing how the ERG is helping me get outside and play as well!

I took the advice above and left my foot straps loose. Felt more core involvement so was quite happy about that. I went over 2500 m for the first Tim and am bumping 20k now!!! Son weird hoe just a few weeks ago I was struggling with 100 meter pieces. Yes, 100. I really like this!!

My drag factor was 90. Not sure yet about how to deal with that. Knowing your drag factor (DF) is what is important. What your DF actually is should be much less important. Drag factor is really personal preference. A higher DF (ex: 200) is not better or harder than a lower DF. This is a basic fact...

I just want to put a plug in for the outstanding customer service of Concept 2. I was rowing yesterday, and just as I had finished my rowing session my rower literally broke in half (right where the rower folds up). There was an acknowledged design flaw, and this is covered by the warranty. So some...

Got my cool erg meter thingy for my iPhone. Love having it and jumped on the erg to test it out. Trimmed some serious seconds off my 500 meter pieces. Only thing is, I cannot figure out how to update the firmware. Won't download on my iPhone. :( I know my workouts are still barely warm ups for you v...

Thanks for the warm welcome. :D I prepared to be the tortoise and take this slow and easy. The last time I tried the 'fast' route I ended up tearing my achilles & plantar facia in BOTH feet. It took almost a year to recover from that and get back to just being able to do the daily around the house ...

YEs...food. I didn't mention it because I do something a bit different I do a paleo diet because carbs just turn ti sugar and halt my loss. it is a lifestyle change too. SO I agree with ergmeister, whatever you choose for a healthy eating plan, choose one you can live with. I am never a big fan of n...

Congrats on your decision. I have had mine for about a month and am slowly getting up to where I feel like I can do some things and understand my machine a bit better. This place is GREAT! I joined a team so I could do some of the challenges and have a goal to try to work with. I joined TimbukTOO an...

Glad to see some people starting where I am. I got my 15k lifetime and am up to 500m chunks in my 2k days. I have oved the damper from 1 to 3 and am about ready to do it again as I am having trouble keeping a load on at 3 now. Seems like spinning.

I am starting to feel a bit better about my rows. It is small progress but significant to me. This morning I did 1k in two 500 m blocks. That is a first to break it only down into two bites. Tonight I will do another set of rows to be 2000 for a total today of 3000. I have heretofore not done 3k in ...
