New And Looking For Routine

[[old] newrowud]

Hi, I am a new concept 2 owner and really trying to get into everything. I enjoy rowing. I have worked my way up to between a half hour and 45 minutes. <br />My challenge is keeping up the interest and setting goals. <br />I am looking for any routines to follow, any good suggestions? I look foward to rowing and lossing weight and getting fit.<br />Thanks for your help.

We are currently third in the concept2 world ranking and are working hard to move up the ladder. We need rowers to make that happen. <br /><br />Also, consider breaking down the rowing stroke during your rows. You can row a couple minutes at each stroke length: Arms only, upper body and arms, quarter slide, half slide, three quarter slide, full slide. That is a total of 12 minutes already.<br /><br />I am sure that you will find a few more routines that will keep your mind busy.<br /><br />And before I forget, using the "slide" by concept2 makes rowing more enjoyable by far.<br /><br />I hope you had a nice weekend and I wish many more good rowing KMS.<br /><br />XENO

Keep track of your workouts with the c2 online log and watch your times decrease.<br /><br />Row some of the standard distances and see where you fall in the rankings. Set a goal, such as "I'll get in the top 50% of each distance in my age group"<br /><br />Listen to music while rowing.<br /><br />These are some of the things that have worked for me.<br />

Hello people!<br />I thought RPRG was 7th in the team rankings. I looked today and it seems we have fallen well off the pace. What happened? Has Mr. Adams been a member of Taff Attack all along? How does one consistently row that much every single day?! That is truly amazing. I have a hard time rowing 10k/day more than a few times a week! I really want to be able to row a full marathon before my 50th birthday next July. I have done a few half-marathons and they were tough enough. I'll keep trying! <br />Happy Holidays<br /><br />

You can use the slides with pretty much any rowing machine on earth. This is a quite a broad statement I realize. In my opinion if you have a rowing machine with a moving seat you can rigg up the slides to support any moving seat rower.<br />I hope this helps.<br />XENO
