  • I find now that I only seem to need that full feeling at night. Not sure what that's about except I know that I feel a little sad at the end of the day when eating is done. Usually I can counteract that by getting busy with something else, but I'm still practicing how to get myself to stop before I hit that "full" point.…

  • Have you thought about adding in some rowing workouts as part of your cross training? Since you rowed in college I realize you might prefer just about anything to the erg (wink), but it's a great tool for runners and as you know there's lots of great core work in every stroke. Here are couple of articles that might be…

  • For my money it's rowing, hands down. Non-impact, total body, and if you do it correctly the rowing stroke is 70 percent legs, 30 percent upper-body and torso. Definitely works abs too, as slk says. I've kept off a 50-lb weight loss on the Concept2, personally I wouldn't row anything else.

  • Great story, congratulations on you're success! I'm curious, did you row with your colostomy? A friend who's a big rower is about to have one and I wondered how much of an issue it would be. I'm also hoping it can be part of her recovery process. Thanks for any insight you can offer.

  • If your straps are coming loose you're probably hooking your toes. Rowing with your feet out of the foot stretchers for a bit on every row will help. The biggest thing is to remember to keep your toes pointed towards the flywheel on the drive. Here's a video that explains what I'm talking about:…

  • If you're feeling pain on the machine you need to tweak your technique. Also be sure you're not jumping into it too quickly - the typical advice is to start with 5 or 10 minutes on the machine and build up from there. Row on! Sarah
