ive got this bookon kindle but havent read it yet!
i became enthralled with rowing when a US Olympic training center opened here in Oklahoma city. I was able to finagle access towork out there and eventually purchasedmy own concept 2 ——
at 49 years young, i just had a total knee replacement due to motocross injuries so the rower has been used for my rehab and homebound physical therapy
i just hit 200k metres since december 5. Notimpressive numbers for a dedicated rower but mostof these were done at a 3:30/500 pace (this is painfully slow, butthe new knee was just installed on november 5)
its a wonderful sport, and my cycling strengths are sprinting —. Iwould encourage anyone to do a rowing machine Tabata protocol and tell me there is no crossover 😂😂
