Congratulations - that is super duper stuff for just 2 months in! Also well done on the 22 consecutive minutes - awesome.

I'm going to try for 43 miles. That's a weeks worth for some but for me, it's a lot. I'm still pretty new and it's in addition to the larger amount of rowing I do.

Thanks for this and all the others that chimed in with the same sort of remarks! Much appreciated. My Feb. miles are 36.75 miles

Assuming I stay healthy, I'd like to join the March challenge. I do more rowing than running but am beginning to run (again) after several months of not. I do it on a treadmill though, so for some, it may not be "qualified" miles/time. Thus far, I've run about 33 miles this month as compared to rowed about 144 miles. Both…

Perfectly stated in my opinion. Not that it matters but I use a Concept 2 rower 4 days/week and offset with a treadmill for running + high intensity walking 3 days/week. Sprinkling in some simple weight exercises, and I've found my favorite combo that works for me.

I don't post much on the forums but I'll make an exception in this case and do so. I'm in. I'm 48 and have been on MFP since I began my lifestyle change last August. Dropped about 44 lbs since joining and am now at maintenance. Lost the pounds with no fancy diet. Just logging and moving. Rowing/Walking/Running and a small…

Some good advice already.. I use my C2 rowing machine 4x week. It's an amazing full body workout that is low impact. Doesn't mean you don't use your knees though. In fact about 70% of the effort comes from the legs. Will it help to you to lose weight? Sure - just as long as your cal intake is adjusted as well. Then again,…

As far as suggestions on exercise - I'd seriously look at rowing as in a row machine. Concept 2. Total game changer for me.

I did notice some of those names... Too funny.. Since I'm a minor data geek - I looked at the results a couple other ways as well. For Indoor Rower Virtual Club regardless of team size we ranked 18th For Indoor Rower Virtual Club with a team size 21-50 we ranked 5th Sure had fun doing it, regardless of placement.

Believe me.. 3 or 4 months ago, I wasn't able to muster up anything past 20-25 minutes. So your 30-35 minutes exceed my starting place. I've never rowed underhand. Always overhand. Sometimes I take a wider "grip" and sometimes a more "narrow" though.
