Joke right? Or did you really row 120K?, because that's about 12 hours of rowing for the average guy.

The way they have the rowing cable hooked up to the bars, it looks like the bars would try to rotate.

What is a good training plan on the rowing machine?
I usually do 2,000 meters, four times a week. 32 strokes per minute takes 8:45 min. Is that good, bad, or do I need o step it up? |

Yup,, a joke,, takes me about 45 minutes to an hr to do 3k meters.. and thats enough.. I was just joking as some of the stats some people put up are almost questionable.. they must live on their rowers..

I just use the pre-set work out in the menu.
You can race the "pace boat" to keep up the pace. |

You need to get a heart rate monitor and get your heart rate up into target zone and keep it there for 30 minutes. For your situation and age - you should start at 110-120 and work up to 130-140 heart rate as target. Always start out slow and warm up for 5 minutes. At end of workout - add 5 minutes to slow down and cool down. You can do damage to your heart by going at it too fast - you need to warm up for a few minutes for your arteries to dilate before hitting it hard - particularly at "our age". Stretch after your workout to maintain and improve flexibility and range of movement - do this when muscles warm at end of workout to avoid injury. Right now - I am up to 1 hour cardio - six days a week - but mix between treadmill, recumbant bike and rower. If something gets slightly uncomfortable 30 minutes into workout I will switch machines. jeff p.s. Not sure - but the number of strokes per minute sounds too high - you need to do the "recovery" (slide forward) more slowly and then "hit it" on the "drive". There are technique videos on the concept2 website... http://www.concept2.com/us/training/technique.asp

Hey Girard,
Just finished working out - did a half hour on the rower and another half hour on a recumbent bike - I was doing about 22 strokes/min. Did about 6k meters... I kinda "sprint" after the "catch" and then smoothly return... I do between 2:18 min/500 meters and 2:30 per 500 meters most of the time right now - but picking it up as I get in better shape. jeff
