I was wondering if there is something I am missing. I recently joined a team and am pushing out meters, but I feel like "IS THIS IT". The team standings and team members meters are a great motivator for me. I can e-mail individual members but cannot find a place "Forum" for my team. I would love to ...

I like to see others sweat. Since I haven't found good workout videos/DVD's with rowing, I use the Carmichael Trainright DVD's for biking. <br /><br />They were easy to tailor to rowing. Find your HR zones and the directions in the video and they will give anyone a great workout.<br /><br />I have l...

In the last 30 min I would go from low 170's to maybe 181 and the last 7 or 8 min I was kicking from 180 to 200 or so. I cannot hold anything over 183 for any length of time. I know my Max heart rate is 203 at least at what feels like death. I have never been over 203. I believe my lactate threshold...

Interesting side note to my drop in heart rate. As mentioned above my heart rate dropped from mid 60's to low 50's and a possible reason was hydration. <br /><br />I did some checking and found in a training handbook that a lowered heart rate is also a symptom of overtraining. Generally overtraining...

Uhmm water I didn't think about. interesting from two points. One am I holding water, or two am I finally hydrated. <br><br>I used to drink only a cup of coffee and a coke or two during the day. Now I drink ten 12 oz glasses of water and gatorade, I drink more gatorade according to my weight loss du...

I would add a few motivators for those of us overweight. <br><br>I think good rowing clothes for the C2 are a must. I am overweight and I started with bad clothes which cut and chafed me terribly. Having a saddle sore is the quickest exercise killer. I have found my #1 purchase is comfortable rowing...

Thanks for the advice. Please indulge me a little more. I found your last advice very helpful and would appreciate any further advice. I made a few purchases, I bought a body fat scale, a food scale and dietpower to get serious on my weight loss. <br><br>I am trying to be patient and confident that ...

Thanks for the advice. Yesterday was just feeling the frustration of long work and gains that were not expected or wanted. Today I am hard headed and very determined to bust my lard ass into shape. So I pulled out my calculator and put my mind to work on this problem. Then this morning like a drll i...

I purchases the Concept2 the 16th of November, specifically to loose weight. It is January 6th now and I am concerned that I am going the wrong way. I am 6'1" and started rowing at a hefty 238 pounds. Today I weighed myself and was shocked to see 244 on the scale. I have gained six pounds in a month...
