Re: Older rower seeking opinion
This is the thread that I've been hoping to see for quite a while, and it is truly a pleasure to meet and listen to everyone here, all of whom seem to be in my general age group. Anyway, speaking to the original posted question: I used Polar10 HR monitor religiously until I found that I could use th...

I'd never rowed before in my life prior to about thirty days ago....then, because I was fed up with the local pools and gyms closing or cutting back on hours, I bought an Erg and set it up in my den.

I'm very sorry if the answer to my first question as a noobie is self-evident, but I am frankly stumped as to what is happening, and I'm not even sure if it is at all important. I read all the articles and posts I could explaining about the setting the drag factor setting with the damper. Then I wen...
