Well had great training day! Started it with an hour of shoveling, then 50 minute walk, then 2 more hours of shoveling my own and my neighbors. While I was at that I remembered it was women's day! But also wondered if they would sponsor me for what I've done for the day so far without having to row🤔...

BrandEverlasting Comfort Special featureU-Shaped Coccyx Cutout ColourBlack SizeStandard Fill materialMemory Foam ShapeWedge Hi was looking at your post and thought I'd suggest this to you. I bought this on Amazon a few years ago for my tailbone that I chipped. When I got the rower I started using it...

BrandEverlasting Comfort Special featureU-Shaped Coccyx Cutout ColourBlack SizeStandard Fill materialMemory Foam ShapeWedge Hi have seen on different posts people wondering about cushions to help their bottoms with rowing. Above is the cushion I use on my rower and it's wonderful. Bought it a few ye...

Did a 5 km walk along the coast and just recently did 5,000m row. Taking my time. Not catching the drag as much but I'm okay with that as it's not so hard on my breathing. Talking to my doctor and she told me that because of the smoking I've done over the years, my breathing will get worse before it...

Well thanks to condrift86 giving me some encouragement I managed to drag my sorry ass upstairs and get on the rower for another 5,000m row. Slower and a few slow breaks in be between but at least something. Iain invited me to freespiritrow and would love to join some challenges with all of you. As l...

Thanks for your advice! I may see about doing this and try not to kill myself from lack of oxygen😢. But I think I need to do up a workout regime where I'm doing intervals of workouts so I'm not doing too much in one day. Only problem is, when it's good outside for walking, I really enjoy putting ear...

Also my form is good. I was warned about this when I first got my rower and came on here. I've watched the videos to make sure I would be rowing correctly to support my core, arms and back and always make it a priority when rowing to focus on my rowing technique and having my core engaged at all tim...

Thanks for your comment. I now totally agree that maybe 6 days a week with straight 5000m rows may be to much? I don't know if I broke up it up into intervals to give my lungs a break in between would be better or not. But am very tired of last few days and dreading the thought of rowing. But I also...

Also, Id like to ask if when you do longer rows, do you do rest periods in between or just row right through the session. Because any long rows I've done since being on here I've done straight through, unless it was an interval row! What is the standard protocol for all this?

Hi all! Wrote on the march or mud madness thinking it was for this year, then realized it was for 2022. Anyway, Edward told me one time that this was a good place to come to keep it real, so here I am. I'm a newbie as some of you may know and have helped me already. I quit smoking last Sunday as wor...

Hi everyone! Edward once told me to come to this forum where you all keep it real, so checking in here! I was going for the march madness challenge and did 5 meters yesterday and today along with a WOD. I don't think I want to conquer a 10,000 meter daily as I have only quit smoking last Sunday and ...

Also, wanted to say that I understand about the number on the flywheel now. I went back up to level 4 for my rows as it was much easier and consistent to catch the drag or whatever it's called before I ride back on the slide. So I'll stick with this. Thanks for all your advice

You two are amazing at understanding all of this. I'm just trying to catch my breath and not pass out during my rows. Lol. Last Sunday I hit a wall, or my lungs hit the wall, with exercising and smoking. Couldn't breathe well and had to take a few days break from exercise. Haven't had a cigarette si...

I looked at video from this site yesterday with 2 men demonstrating how to use the rower, showing form and catching the flywheel on the drag. I have been doing it but not catching the drag as often as I should. Later in the day I went for a row, set at 4, but lowered it to a 3, then a 2. During each...

Sorry haven't been here in a while. Was getting very drained and not eating properly so I downloaded Fitness Pal app and trying to learn how to eat right while exercising. Didn't realize I was starving my body, but it was trying to tell me because I just had no energy. Started it on Jan 28th and am ...
