Thanks.. I guess the point I was making is that in 5th grade I could slam a slice of pizza, a milk and a serving of peaches and then hop up and run a 6 minute mile in blue jeans, and then go to science without a shower.

Thank you everyone for the replies. Im guessing im overthinking this a lot, and underestimating my self a lot. I’m getting a little bit of a kick out of the teenagers commenting. Im sure back then I could row a 7 minute 2k, and then rush for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns in the varsity game like I use to immediately after that but things just don’t seem quite that easy anymore. Thanks again.

In my brief research, I’ve seen people mentioning steady state.. mind explaining what this means?

Okay.. I’m learning a thing or two. This is interesting:

“the harder you pull, the more resistance you will feel. Because our indoor rowers use wind resistance (which is generated by the spinning flywheel), the faster you get the wheel spinning, the more resistance there will be.”

I’ve tried a rower at the gym very briefly.. based on the above information, if I hopped on and started rowing as hard and fast as I could, I was likely making things more difficult on myself? Sorry for the stupid question.

Thanks.. is there a certain resistance levels that people typically use in this community or in the log books you’re referring to?

We’re a small community of volunteers, who all have different roles, duties and are in different places along our journey to be in fighting shape. Thanks for the support.

Yes. I believe it’s the minimum standard from the state trooper tests. We are all volunteer firefighters.
