Rowing as a Fitness Indicator for Beginner cycling Club Run?

Hi all Possibly an unusual question, but thought I would ask the brains trust. I'm considering getting a bike and beginning with a club, doing club runs on the weekends. Most cycle clubs have various groups of differing levels of fitness, for example my local club's website indicates that a typical ...

Re: What am I doing Wrong?

Hi all, I'm back to give a progress update, apologies for not responding sooner. I took the advice and have increased my rows to 8000m x 6 days per week (up to 840k now) with the intent to get to 10k per day within a couple of months. I seem to have moved off the weight plateau, now being 92kg, havi...

Re: 1,000,000 meters done

Well done on your effort to date, excellent results and a lot to be proud of. I'm closing in on 1M myself (currently 840,000) and have lost 120lbs to date having been 324lbs, and need a further 30lb loss to get into the healthy BMI range. I have found the classic low carb diet to be most effective c...

Re: Trying to understand calorie burned

153 average heart rate sounds quite high to me. As others have stated, the fat burning zone (on the assumption that such a thing exists) only requires you to be exercising at a level where you can still speak etc. Also, as the PM5 does not take into account height, weight, BMI stats etc, you will fi...

Re: Calorie counting apps - what have you used ?

I would seriously consider MyNetDiary. I have been using it on and off for the last 5 years and began at 147kg in January of 2016 and am now down to 92kg. I row 8000m six days a week and am shortly to complete my first million metres. Should be down to low 70's by Christmas, which will be a healthy ...

What am I doing Wrong?

Hi all, I’m hoping to receive advice from those more knowledgeable in this area than me. I’m currently 56, 177cm, 107kg, so targeting 78 kg for a healthy BMI. I topped out about 4 years ago at 147kg, so have made some progress, with some still to go. I use MyNetDiary as a food diary, which I’ve foun...
