Rowing Machines

Got 1 two years ago…
For the wife for Christmas… it’s a great machine that still gets used. Great company too.



My daughter used to row… she turned us ontoit.

Ur a machine, tcvrider.

Erging for women
The right way to erg (but a little less back would be better):

Original poster, notice the wiggleless, solid and quiet machine.




If You Can’t Find time to Train at Home

Ahh … did you see the clip on the side
…um nevermind.

Respectfully disagree
I admit to not knowing jack about paddling, but rowing, I know a little:



Green shorts:



Doesn’t set body angle out of finish

Picks up the load at the catch with her arms instead of her legs

Dumps the finish into her belly button instead of into her chest



White shorts:



Rushes slide into catch

Good catch

Strong finish

Fundamentally better stroke




comment on white shorts
i’ve had a concept 2 for many years (old B model)…the sheila in white shorts was erging barefoot…for me barefoot and a 1000 meters means no skin left on the toe

barfootin’
Barefoot’s best for me. Better feel of the foot braces.

well i could never hike in sandals
either! and on the inversion table i have to wear crocs or at least a pair of thick socks…just wimpy feet i suppose.

Thanks to all
I do appreciate the info and comments. I am going to purchase a concept 2



Thanks, Jim
