Concept2 Forum

Hi Max,
I am loosely following the Simple and Sinister program so have been doing swings and TGU every day. I don’t think the TGUs will add much muscle size but TBH I am doing them more to gain strength and mobility especially in my shoulders as my thoracic and shoulder ROM is poor.

My wife went for a scan today to start her journey and they had a 2 for one special on so I had another scan. I am now down to 16.3% BF :D This means since I got my Concept 2 in July I have lost 15 kgs of fat and gained 7 Kgs of muscle. This has been a big improvement in the last 5-6 weeks since my ...

And the results are in! Went for my follow-up scan today. In just under 4 months I managed to increase lean mass by 2.8kgs, lose 7.8kgs of fat & decrease body fat % from 32.8 to 23.7%.

I came to the forum hoping to find a solution but at least I know I am not alone .

Hi, This is my first post. I am a 51 yo male who was feeling unfit & a bit flabby in the middle so bought a Concept 2. I am new to rowing & about 5-6 weeks into my journey. In that time through cleaning up my diet & rowing 6 days a week I have lost 3 kgs. Thinking I was doing well I decided to have ...

Hi all. I am a 51 y.o newbie. Just bought my C2 4 days ago and have done 3K, 3.2K, 5k & 5K so far. After a bad wrist injury 3 years ago I stopped doing any fitness activities (used to do a couple of days road cycling & a couple of gym days each week) and I had gained 6 kgs. Looking to lose some weig...
