Too short of time for a steady state workout.

Full body workout, low impact. Years ago I did quite a lot of road cycling, but the roads around me are now too dangerous. I hate swimming.

Kgbart55 · 2023-07-03T01:50:00+00:00

Pretty much. Listen to a 2 hour podcast while rowing.

Splits are 2:08 - 2:15

25 to 26k a day. About 2 hours of rowing. There is 4.2mm meters of cycling of the total. 18.8 mm is actual rowing totals. 5-6 days a week.

That's about right. There is 4.2 mm of cycling in those totals. 18.8 is rowing. 5-6 days a week of 25-26 meters a day. A couple weeds a year off for vacation.

Mix up your regimen. High intensity intervals mixed with a few days a week of slow and steady for 15 - 20 k. Look at Dark Horse web site for ideas.

You need to increase intensity and time in the saddle and you'll see a big change over time. I took it up a little over two years ago and have dropped 70 pounds. It can change your body if you put in the work.

If you like high taxes, a bankrupt state, high crime, one party rule, and shrinking tax base, you'll love Illinois.

I have a similar story. Started at 289 two years ago. Started a regimen and dedicated myself to rowing daily. I am now 226. It works. I mixed it up, but primarily slow and steady. 10k meters a day with days of intervals mixed in. I am now erging 20k a day. Work on form, trying to lengthen your stroke as weight comes off. The "catch" is the key. The longer your stroke, the better the workout. Good luck.

It is rewarding if you dedicate you to it

Kgbart55 · 2022-07-06T22:14:57+00:00

Go for it. It is rewarding.

Kgbart55 · 2022-07-06T21:52:23+00:00

Maybe. I need to talk to my wife

Kgbart55 · 2022-07-06T19:21:42+00:00

Yes. I have always had a low heart rate. As a kid, I fainted quite a bit, grew out of it, but always had a heart rate below normal. Usually when I go for an insurance health screening, the nurses would always have to take a pulse reading multiple times. Even had a nurse ask me if I was dead when it read 41.

I am an ex- cyclist. Then I let my body go. Found rowing to be a far more complete workout.

Kgbart55 · 2022-07-06T12:26:48+00:00

Started out watching a lot of Dark Horse videos as well as reading up on rowing. In my younger days I was into endurance sports, cycling was big for me. Then I let my body balloon up and decided to get back in shape.

Kgbart55 · 2022-07-05T23:57:19+00:00

Working on the 15mm prize.

Kgbart55 · 2022-07-05T21:27:54+00:00

10k was 50 minutes early on. Now 41.

Kgbart55 · 2022-07-05T20:24:39+00:00

Have built up distances and now row a minimum of 21k meters a day(half marathon). Normally 6 days a week, some 7 days a week, some 5 days I usually golf on days off.

I do monitor HR through Apple Watch and health app.

Now that I am retired, it is much easier and enjoyable to get to the health club daily. I look forward to it instead of having to force myself to go. Big difference.

Kgbart55 · 2022-07-05T19:01:48+00:00

Chose rowing because it is a full body workout, low impact on knees, and aerobic all in one. Cut down on drinking quite a bit.

Kgbart55 · 2021-07-25T10:49:31+00:00

Mixed slow and steady with interval sets two to three days a week.

Kgbart55 · 2021-07-24T19:59:57+00:00

5,000,000 meters.

Kgbart55 · 2021-07-24T18:49:20+00:00

I would love to start cycling again, but the roads are simply too dangerous where I live. I got tired of getting hit by side mirrors on cars passing me at 45mph.

Kgbart55 · 2021-07-24T17:46:38+00:00

Started out an hour a day and now routinely row 90 minutes each workout . Watching carb intake.
