I have upped my daily row to 12,000 meters (about an hour and 5 minutes). Today I rowed it all in one row, but, on other days, I spread it out over the entire day.

I feel so much better. And the weight just drips off.

I garden.

Not only do you get a good work out but you end up with tasty veggies and pretty flowers.

But I guess it will not be a "thing" until people can do it in air conditioned comfort. :)

I’m up to 5,000M in just under 29 minutes which puts me #49 in my age/weight group.

Bought my Concept2 in 1992 on the advice of my nephew who rowed with the Oxford Blues.

My son started on crew as a freshman. Winter training is hard and he really didn’t take to it. I bought a cheap rowing machine and can do about 40 minutes and 900 strokes. It doesn’t measure distance so I don’t know what that is. It’s not that easy. Some times I get a little nauseous at first but then the endorphins kick in and get a good work out. I listen to music and try not to focus on the display.

I rowed.

But it hurt the shoulder, and had to stop and sell it.

I got to 33 miles before that fateful autumn (2015) when I fractured 3 vertebrae. Haven’t rowed since and I miss it so much. Maybe one day. Sniff.
