If everything seems tight, you might want to reach out to Concept again and let them know you've tried the replacement but are still hav...

Re: Building from ground zero?

Sorry to hear about the meniscus, but kudos for getting back on the erg! Starting slow with those 10-minute sessions at a low stroke rate of 20 sounds like a smart move. Since your goal is basic fitness and you're celebrating another lap around the sun soon, you might want to gradually increase eith...
