Returning rower

Post by shocks_ » June 26th, 2019, 4:39 pm

I turned 50, I realised I haven't been to the gym for 12 months and the weight was piling on. Part of my plan was to buy a concept 2 model D and use it at home, again. The first rower I bought was used a lot but cold weather and its location in an unheated garage made it too easy to walk away from it in the winter months. So it started gathering dust and got sold.

So 10 years later I have my second rower now, its indoors and connected to my pc for Row Pro. I am also keen to join a team. I think challenges will be motivating for me and keep me rowing.

So any teams looking for some ballast, a male, 50 Hwt, someone that will work on powering their own way, do let me know.
Thanks

The Luna-Tics would be delighted to have you join us. Our goal is to row enough meters to get to the moon...again! It is a long journey made better with lots of teammates. We are a supportive team - and hope you'll give our team forum page a look.

that's fine - you will still need a team for the CTC I think - could bee a Flyer if you want to do that challenge too.
