Thanks Linda!<br /><br />We didn't get the video when our rower arrived, so I am not able to watch it yet, but as soon as I receive it, I definitely will watch it. I will definitely give the strapless rowing a try and really concentrate on technique rather than pace for awhile. Do you recommend longer or shorter rows when working on technique?<br /><br />Thanks again!

I have been erging for nearly 2 years now. I started out with a 24-25 spm rate rowing strapless, and now I am down to 19-21 without much loss in time. That's due to a better technique and stronger legs.<br /><br />The thing I have to work on all the time is not rushing the recovery. The recovery should take about twice as long as the stroke. Watch your meter while doing a 1/2 stroke and 1/2 recovery series, and then try a 1/3 stroke 2/3 recovery series at the same stroke rate and see if your split time isn't better.<br /><br />As your legs and your abs and your back get stronger you will see more and more improvement. Its great fun the first year to watch the numbers and pounds drop.<br /><br />Woow Londa! 12 million meters way to go.<br /><br />grams<br /><br />grams

Ok, I tallied my total meters from yesterday (for both workouts) and it came up to 8472! That's so cool to me! Ok, i'm going to go be in shock. Hope everyone is having a great Friday!

Yeah Ducks! <br />I love seeing new additions on the intro<span style='color:red'>DUCK</span>tion thread! Welcome to the pond Dodger and Ducky!<br /><br />How are all the workouts going? It's exciting to hear about the various experiences you all are having. I think I might have to try that lake game next winter. I'm more determined than ever to give on the water rowing a try this spring!<br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br />Bufflehead<br />
