Concept2 Forum

This thread simply proves the adage "to each his/her own."<br /><br />I purchased a new Model B in 1988 and used that with considerable satisfaction until around 1993, when I sold it and purchased a new Model C. <br /><br />Personally speaking, that was a mistake. While the C was lighter and quieter...

Xeno's three erg technique/workout DVDs are a must for anyone who wants detailed, step-by-step analysis of proper erg form from a top Olympic rower and coach. <br /><br />Concept2 ought to provide them with every new Model D sold, if only to provide good training tools on proper, safe, and effective...

Funny you bring this up. I contacted Concept2 about six months ago and asked the customer service rep if they had any plans to make DVD versions of their erging technique video. He said the idea had merit and he would raise it with others at C2. I do know that they soon plan to sell the "Oarsome Fou...

The surgeon put a piece of plastic mesh into the right inguinal area, so once the surgical incision had healed, I was pretty much good to go (about 5 weeks). Unless your own doctor says otherwise, it sounds like you should be safely past that point.<br><br>As for the intensity, pace, and duration of...

I had an inguinal hernia operation a few years back. From what I've been told, you inherit the tendency. There are indeed certain physical activities and movements that can aggravate or accelerate the development of a hernia (for example, lifting heavy objects improperly). But I don't think that erg...

Sounds very promising, debs. There may be a valuable lesson here for those of us getting chest X-rays.

debs,<br>I can understand your confusion and concern. Is the PA suggesting some other method besides a chest X-ray for confirming or ruling out emphysema? At this point, you're definitely owed an expert and informed opinion, not just idle speculation from your PA. Here's hoping it all turns out to b...

Like you, I also do my erging early in the morning, before I shower and head off to work. Before I erg, I first spend about 10 minutes scanning the morning paper (which gives me time to clear the cobwebs), drink a full cup of semi-caffeinated Columbian coffee (half decaf, half regular), eat a banana...

Actually, I've known a few people who engage in vigorous exercise just a few hours after a large meal. That's when they have the free time for it. People do foolish things with regards to sports and exercise all the time, like playing through the pain of major joint problems or bad muscle injuries.<...
