I was wondering if there is a way to search the entire rowing memeber database by country in an attempt to recruit specific members to join a "country team". Thanks! You can go to the each of the Annual Meters Honor Boards and sort the data by country. Maybe that would get you going. That was a gre...

I was wondering if there is a way to search the entire rowing memeber database by country in an attempt to recruit specific members to join a "country team".

Thanks!

Sorry for the late response, but this has been a very helpful thread for me, and I wish to thank those who responded.

First thing to note, the charts for HR training zones by age are useless. Your heart rate zones are defined by a percentage between your resting heart rate and your max heart rate. The charts just use a generic formula for max HR vs age, but the reality is that even the people who came up with that...

I'm 53, been losing weight (down 25.5lbs in about 11 weeks) and am primarily doing 2 mile walks and 6k of rowing a day as my exercise. Between that and 'calorie counting', everything is coming along just as planned. So I decided to get a HRM to interface with my Model E. frankly, I have never traine...

VERY nice clean job!

I only wish I could say that 20 lbs comes off easily. I am down 17.5lbs and started on June 28th. But like you noted, I am keep it pretty safe and sane the whole way. The www.loseit.com app has people put up various challenges. One that is coming up is to "lose a pound of flesh" a week by exercising...

i am an orthopaedic surgeon, 54 yo, with a hip replacement for 5 years. i rowed quite hard the past year on the pete plan: 6x per week, all out, weights etc. in general, if a large diameter head was used (32mm or greater) most of our patients can do anything they want after the first 6-8 weeks. her...

You wont find me argue with pretty much anything you put up. I plan to hit the weights again in October myself. I have always seen an increase in size and strength whenever I hit them, and expect this to be no different. As to changing cals as I lose weight, yup, I am aware of it. I also work on cut...

You can try an experiment on yourself. Eat at BMR for a few days, than drop back down maybe 10% below BMR again. Where you may put on a lb or two initially, you will probably start losing yet again. I don't fully agree with rhr on eating at BMR from my own personal experience, but then again, we are...

No monitor other then the scale. My other tool has been using www.loseit.com, a great tracking and 'facebook-like' community of 'losers'. It works excellent for me. Using the rower has almost been a joy this time around. In the past I have had a series of them from a Model B on, but never was that e...

Ahhhh... Well, as a guy with two hip replacements I can certainly appreciate the height advantage.

Just wish the arm folded so it would be less obtrusive under cover.

Oh well...

I am presently losing about 1.7lbs -1.8lbs/wk. I eat 12% below my MBR, and I burn about 600 or so calories a day I do not eat back. I would say I have a 'slow metabolism'. At present I eat anything I want, including 'bad foods', just try to stay in daily calorie limits. For exercise I walk an hour e...

I have a Model E and my only complaint is I really wish it had a folding meter arm, not the fixed one.

I always wondered why it was designed this way. Can someone please tell me?

Thanks!
