Raverlaw, you've inspired me.

[MitralMan]

I'm 8 weeks post-op, and have been exercising under the supervision of the cardiac rehab unit of a local hospital for the last six weeks. But I feel so good that I'm exercising the days I'm not in rehab (I take off a Saturday or a Sunday every week), and a couple of days ago I started up on the Concept 2:

20 minutes and 3,500m day 1
45 minutes and 8,012m day 2

I think I'm going to like this!

Thanks for being a role model!

Mitralman-

Good for you- it really is great exercise. Now you can join our rowing club!

Go to the Concept 2 web site: Concept 2 Rowers and click on the link for the rowing log. Create an ID and log in - you will be able to record your meters on line. When you create your profile for logging, you can select a University/club affiliation - look down the list for Row Hearty (get it? ) and select it as your club affiliation. Your meters will be added to ours (Me, Arbee and Melissa M.) Our rank is currently about 232nd. We'd love to have you - and the on line log is a great motivator. This month C2 is having a challenge where your name is put into a drawing for C2 merchandise each day you row 5,000 meters or more.

go for it!

I upgraded by model c by getting the PM3 -- MUCH better!

 

[Raverlaw]

I agree - the PM3 provides much better information and motivation. Join the on-line rowing club for heart patients - Row Hearty! Add your 50,000 plus meters to our total and watch us climb in the standings.

Let me double check...

 

[MitralMan]

Yup, added ~65,000 meters, and bumped us up 2 places to 230!

All Right! Thanks for joining us!

Ar bee and Melissa, I know you've been rowing. Don't save up those meters! Get them logged so we can show the rest of the world what we're capable of doing!
