    Good job! I tell my husband that he has to be the one to break his "family curse." In his family, all the men seem to die of diabetes and heart disease by about 65. Most have been extremely overweight and, very luckily, he isn't! However, I worry about his fitness level sometimes.

    Have you considered joining a rowing club? I used a concept 2 in my rowing days and hated it! Being out on the water was so much more fun. You might consider seeing if there is anywhere near you! :)

    yea it definitely helps when you live in Minot North Dakota during our lovely long winters. this will be my first winter in four years where I might come out having lost weight rather than gained.

    not enough water up here in central ND to go outdoors. so during the spring I take the concept 2 to a nearby park and row outdoors there. make do with what we have!

    yea the rower has been awesome, especially since my intervals have been 10-15s on and 30-60s off for 45-55min and intensity level keeps me in zone 2-3 of the heart rate scale; I really don't do it hard enough to feel burnt out on it

    Wow, thank you for sharing your story. I have a concept 2 and used it all last winter. I live near Ottawa, so you can appreciate the same stuff for us. I really did get addicted to it. In the summer I took up cycling and have been doing that up until we got our big batch of snow on Boxing Day. Concept 2 is ready to go again. Congratulations on be coming a Dad and a healthier happy person.

    What's with the heart rate monitor and the significance of it?

    It allows one to keep your workout in aerobic or anaerobic zones thus maximizing either fat burning or increasing calorie deficits. Gives you more real time data so you don't have to overwork your muscles while your main muscle does its work. Hope that helps tararegular.
