Hello all,
My model e is unpacked and waiting for me...
I have a plan to start with the first workouts on the Concept 2 site, then I plan to do the Pete's plan beginners.
Looking forward to my rowing adventure and chatting with some of the folks on here.

Hi Adrian,
Welcome,
If you haven't already do read http://www.concept2.co.uk/indoor-rowers ... etting-101 it helps explain why 10 isn't always best. Do check out the technic videos http://www.concept2.co.uk/indoor-rowers ... que-videos it really helps to start with the right stoke. Also read viewforum.php?f=3 and post any questions as it is the busiest part of the forum and holds lots of useful information.
The C2 is an amazing exercise machine with consistent use it will make you fitter and this forum and It's members can make it even more effective.

Oh and do check out https://thepeteplan.wordpress.com/beginner-training/ It's great once you start to think I want a challenge and a training program.

Thanks for the input, it seems that form and technique are the things to nail first. Arms only rowing, then body and arms then legs.
Lots to learn, lots of meters to travel....

I have done 550000m and have only just scratched the surface....
If you are having any problems then a side on video posted in the training forum will get help to iron out any problems.

My journey is just beginning, the forum is full of advice and plenty of people who know what they are doing!
