Thanks Rich, yes I believe I was trying to say drag factor. I didn't know what to call it.

I purchase a model D at the end of December '06 and started using it in January of this year. It was a blast and naturally I overdid it. I know that it was my form getting sloppy because I was trying to go faster and faster. Being a newbie at rowing I should have took my time. By the end of January ...

Hello everyone! It's been a few days since I've been on last. I got kinda busy and then had some set backs with lower back soreness and such. But I'm feeling a little better now and am trying to do some easy rows and work on form which I think was the culprit. I'm a newbie so I'm thinking that was t...

Oh darn it!! I should have checked this thread before I rowed today. I would love to join you all for the next group row. I've been doing 5k rows, so perhaps this week I'll add to it so I can be a little prepared for a longer row. Looking forward to it!!

Catherine, I think we can sympathize and certain understand the desire to just vegetate on the couch. I know I certainly do my fair share. What usually upsets me the most is when the 2 or 3 days past and I've only went to work and bed. So what I try to do, mind you it doesn't always get accomplished...

Well I came across Suzanne Deason's Yoga for Weight Loss when I was at Target and decided to toss it in the cart. I did the program this morning prior to rowing and found it to be what I was looking for. Slower paced with the poses held for a bit before moving into the next pose. So thanks everyone ...

Thanks for the video recommendations, I will check out the videos. I have taken a few yoga classes at my gym and we hold our poses for awhile, sometimes too long for me, but after trying a few videos I really appreciate that style. It works well for someone like me who is very new to yoga. On a slig...

In response to Jen (woolsmith): My blister showed up on my left heel. I have Saturday off from exercise so that should give it a little time for healing. I am ready to go home tonight and do some rowing and log my meters into my logbook. It's pretty exciting right now because I can see so much impro...

Downward Facing Dog is my favorite pose. If my middle back is tightening up then I do down dog and it pops my back and stretches my arms and legs as well. By the way, does anyone have any recommendations on a yoga video that moves slow. One in which the poses are held for a bit before they move into...

Hello everyone!!! Sounds like everyone is doing very well. I've been keeping with my schedule of rowing every other day. Since I just started about a month ago, I've been trying to get my body used to rowing. Things have been going very well for me but on Tuesday I knocked a big blister on the back ...

Oh boy!! I've been so wrapped up with work that I forgot the JVC started today. I rowed about 5 minutes this morning and then the phone rang and I got sidetracked. I wasn't even thinking about rowing tonight until I got on the message board, now I can't wait to get home and log some meters!!! I'm a ...

Anything by Flogging Molly! I've got a selection of amped up songs by some of my other favorite Irish bands such as Young Dubliners, Enter The Haggis, The Tossers, The Elders, Pogues, Jiggernaut, and probably some others that I am forgetting right now. They always work for me when I get a little bor...

Hello all!! I just sent my info in to join the JVC with Resolutions in a Row. I just got my c2 on 12/13/06 so this will be the first challenge for me. I will pledge to row 4 times a week. I am 33yrs old and I am the sole caretaker for my 83 year old Grandmother. Things can get kind of stressful with...

I just got my c2 on December 13th and a few days after that I tried the trial version and immediately decided that I had to have it. I manage to hold myself back and try a couple more rows with the trial and then I purchased it. I am really enjoying the RowPro, I'm sure I haven't discovered everythi...

Hello All!! I really have no preference for the January Challenge as it will be the first challenge for me. I am just excited about doing a challenge. My Model D arrived 5 days ago and at this point my rowing isn't too impressive. Mischa mentioned teams based on experience or levels which would be n...
