You're doing great!

the third quarter is the toughest...it's mental - ok and a bit physical ;) (I have only done 1 marathon.)

I would forego the energy drinks. Too much sugar. Get some mineral drinks... high5 zero, etc... if you can stand it, take random tablespoons of blackstrap molasses (lots of potassium - more than bananas) and start tracking your potassium intake.

What is your drag factor set at? (The damper setting is only an indication and the drag factor decreases for the same damper setting as your fan needs to be cleaned). I would recommend a drag factor between 110 and 120. (Many beginners set it to high.) What is your best 2,000m time? (I don't need to know, but helpful for…

I'm there!

I am so excited...I found my groove again! It seems I have been rowing too fast (spm) and not getting anywhere. Today I got my rhythm back at 23spm with a 1:2 work:rest ratio. I am not fast in terms of pace, but I can go for a long time. I am doing heart rate training which takes into account intensity based on percentage…

I'm in!

I'm in!

Hi - I am also 5' and around 135. My goal is to lose 20 lbs (since I was 112 when I met my husband - and that was after I gained six unwanted pounds!). I concur with the others - people are so used to seeing obesity, that they do not know what healthy looks like. I do not even think they can recognize what over-weight…

Fantastic!!!

Yea!

I'm in - can't wait - it's been too long! My goal is 200,000m.

Hi VW and Howard - welcome! I am an indoor rower - no water clubs around here, either VW. I do like the C2 (I have a PM3) - I love the UK site - I think it has more information than its US counterpart. Howard- I would love to read your bit about the threshold. Do you have a post about it? Best, Tammy

I completely agree with her that the many people "no longer have a firm grasp on what "healthy' actually is. I am 5' and my current weight is 137. My goal is 110. I use BMI and body-fat percentage to help me determine what's healthy. I have to lose 10 lbs before I am officially not "over-weight" (BMI < 25), but at work I…

@Michele - A rower who trained under Terry has a Facebook page called "Endurance Indoor Rowing (Concept2)" found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/48125727738/ At the top of his page, there is a tab for "Files" and he has a post about HR training. (I highly recommend it.) In that post, he references another page - this…

Yea!!! I am so glad someone did this! I was going to start a group, but I thought I would search for "row" prior to doing so... and I found your post. To the first post in this topic, I use a HRM and I notice that MFP's calories are off quite often for me. ...looking forward to the Challenge!

Hey there - I went home for lunch yesterday to do Cardio Axe - it was fun! I still too sore from Day 1 workout to do the HIgh & Tight last night. Did you do both workouts?

Did you get it yet? :)

I am so sore from yesterday's workout! But I am going home for lunch to do my Cardio Axe video for the first time! :)

There are many different forms of exercise - as you know. The moves Leandro does that you don't like are from ballet (he is a former ballet dancer). As for me, I don't enjoy *just* squats... and it doesn't burn while I am doing it - perhaps because then you switch so quickly to another exercise - but I am so sore today…

I added my own exercise under cardio. I have found that calories burned on MFP is rather sporadic as far as accuracy goes, so I wear a heart rate monitore that counts calories burned. That is how I add mine. And dang - my tush is so sore from yesterday's workout! ...going home for lunch to do my next workout...

I moved my program start day to today so I can have Mondays and Fridays off - it works better for my schedule). Just did my workout - dang, the part that is the hardest is that my heart rate goes so high and I get worn out. Can't wait until my cardiovascular system is stronger! Bum Bum - 35 min - 288 calories (AvgHR 153,…

There are four programs in one in the Booty Makeover Guide: 1. Too Flat or Square [follow LIFT & SHAPE plan] 2. Pear Shape [follow SLIM & SHAPE plan] 3. Too Big [follow SLIM & LIFT plan] (the one I am doing) 4. Combination [CLASSIC program]

Yea! I'm so glad there you both are doing this at the same time! Maybe others will join. I reeived my kit the day I left for vacation so I completely read through it... they actually have four programs in one. One for those are boy-, pear-, and bulging-shaped... then there's the classic program. lol, I am doing the "too…

hugs to you... I hope you're feeling better today! Do a little something for yourself... make a sugar scrub and make your hands really soft... or put a facial mask on to make your skin feel smooth... or soak your feet in the tub and give yourself a pedicure - paint your toenails... pamper yourself because you're worth it!…

Great answer! We need to listen to our bodies more...

while you're at the store, get some whole wheat tortillas. Don't fry yours - make a quesadilla instead!
