It sounds like most of you who answered stick to strictly rowing, rather than trying to work weight-lifting into the scenario too. Is that the case?

Thanks for the advice everyone!<br /><br />I guess my big problem is that with my OCD tendencies, I let a simple workout routine consume most of my non-work and non-sleep hours. Early morning workouts work best for scheduling for me, but I still struggle for the energy to do them with decent intensi...

Hi all, <br /><br />How does everyone do it? Even a quick 20 minute erg workout balloons in size to at least double that when you factor in warm-up, stretching, cool-down, more stretching. Then if you want to add in just a couple strength training sessions per week, you have to do the same for those...

Hi everyone,<br /><br />I'm finding it difficult to get my heart rate up into the training zone (seems my body is too sluggish first thing in the morning, when I erg). I try to get it up to 120-130, for about 30minutes, but really struggle to get it above 115. However, when I ride my bike/indoor tra...

I could be pulling too hard into my abdomen at the very end thou...

Hi gang,<br><br>I'm still struggling with my morning workouts... it seems like it's more than just poor preworkout nutrition. I keep doing what I can, but my sleep apnea and allergies seem to be a bigger part in this than I thought. It's rough to row w/o quality sleep & breathing problems!! (early A...

Hi,<br><br>On my second-hand Concept2 Model C, I am not sure if the seat rollers need to be replaced. When rowing, the seat move forward and back smoothly. However, there is a lot of wobble from side to side if I move it with my hands. (There is also some play when lifting the seat away from the bea...

Hi,<br><br>I row for general health & fitness. The only time I have to use my erg is early morning before work. Unfortunately, I don't sleep well, and have a real tough time getting moving in the morning, which interferes with the workout. As a result, the time and intensity has been steadily decrea...
