my fitness pal is a good one been using it off and on for about 4 years now

this has been an interesting read... i may have to try these longer low rate works to get me back to some semblance of fitness

hardly ever stretch but do 5 or 6km on a bike as a warmup and warm down. when i was doing my cross fit program a few years ago i had issues with my knees (still do) and was shown some stretch work to do prior to and during each CF session. to be honest it helped a lot. really increased my flexibilit...

yes i would highly recommend a visit to NZ. :D :D but i may be a bit biased LOL AirNZ was refunding or allowing people to use the flights booked as store credit so you could effectively just change dates and use that money for flights. but only if you had paid before a certain date (i think it was ...

must admit it would have been great to have an erg at home during the lockdown especially with the weather we had.I could have been out on the deck the whole time. . its something ive been toying with for a while but i have limited space and my wife will probably make me sell my kayaks if i get one....

so after a lock down of pretty much 8 weeks my gym is now back open with restricted hours and have to book in for time slots. during lock down i had a issue with my right knee which turns out could be Osteo arthritis. am finding that my knee now no longer bends with the full range. which is not to m...

with regards to a straight back i find that if i concentrate and squeeze my shoulder blades together at the finish i stay in a upright position. it does take a bit of getting used to and you will find that you will get some muscle soreness after a while

have to agree with Jack on this one. "whenever i feel like it" is not going to cut it as a competitive rower. get a plan and put in the hours. work with the guy who invited you and make a plan then at worst stick to it and better yet exceed it. weight loss will come with a good diet and work on erg....

after another extended absence (6 weeks) from the gym i was all set to get back into it and got a cold. just as i got over that the country (NZ) went into lock down and full lock down starts tonight at midnight. nothing open except for essential services and limited allowance for moving around. this...

create a second profile for bike meters only?

sucks living in a country that you only get the certificate
congratz on the milestone. only 1 mm till the next one

same thing happens on the gym rowers that i use. but thats an age of strap and buckle thing. if i look at them they slip. have asked for some maintenance to be done including replacing the straps. but they say they do regular maintenance and the straps are ok (apparently) :D not a real issue apart f...

possibly tendonitis. i had a similar isssue when i kayaked in the winter with bare feet with the constant adjusting of the rudder in the winter cold (not that cold was about 5 or 6 deg C. just one of those clear crisp mornings). the day after i could barely walk and it took weeks to subside. and i t...

nice ... i really struggled after getting back from my arm issue (partially tore my bicep tendon) total loss of strength. went from doing 40,50 and 60 min sessions at around 1:55 splits to struggling to do 15 mins at better than 2:10. ended up doing 6 or 8 5 min with 2r to manage my lack of fitness ...
