Concept 2 Standard RowErg

Great service from the team at Southland. The rowing make has been great in the four weeks I have had it so far. The console pairs with both my Garmin watch and tablet so I can record workouts while also using apps that connect to the tower. So far I have only tried Cityrow but that has been great as I wanted to make sure I worked on my technique since I plan on using the rower frequently. I love running but want to maintain strength and rowing is a full body exercise. It is also low impact and is taking a load off my legs. I have been surprised at how much of a strength workout it is when I do a power class in the app. My 17yo son has been using a rower at the gym and is doing the same at home. While my Garmin says the workout load is lower than the same time running, but 30 minutes leaves me sweaty and wrecked if I go hard, or with that buzz of a good workout if I am moderate. I do think technique is important. I had read that those with bad backs can make it worse, but I've found by doing beginner classes with form guidance that my core is really gaining strength. The rower is noisy but fine with earbuds. The decision over the Concept 2 or a cool machine with a screen was the concern about what happens if the manufacturer stops supporting the machine in a few years as the tech ages. Concept 2s have been in use for decades now and with the built in phone or tablet holder I'm not stuck. Apart from noise I'm not fussed over air, water or magnetic resistance.

Great purchase! Now, the task to get everybody to get off it and let me use it.

The perfect weapon to become a perfect weapon.....
