LOL. Its the total weight added of your squat, bench, and deadlift.

My personal workout regime is 2-3 rounds a week at the Eagles Forest Course. Lots of great wildlife and plenty of walking.

 

That’s very nice

I have a Concept2 Model D (I was a collegiate rower) - do about 3-4 pulls a week

Yeah I have the Concept 2 as well. I put some Scandinavian scenic rowing videos on and pump out some Doom Metal on my mains and ITS ON.

Also been biking everywhere and we have some serious hills here.

So tell me more about this. I was think of another winter exercise. How is it on the knees? Do you feel it’s a good cardio workout? What is the best simulation app to use? Anything scenic? Does the software sync with your row speed?

I have terrible knees. Never had had a problem. This works your quads, calves and hamstrings when you push and pull so it can only strengthen your knee joint. Its a pretty stable motion, no twisting or turning or whatever. 

The machine itself is just a rower. There is a digital display that does all sorts of recordings. You can play games on it, races, some fishing games, but I just row. I hook it up to a Polar heart monitor which shows up onscreen and keep my HR between 150 and 155. That way I don't burn out or put too little effort in. The resistance is adjustable. It is a full body workout, all cardio.

There is no tv on it. I just youtube some scenery (there's a lotta stuff available) and stream it to my tv, and put some jams on my speakers. 

Attached is the readout. You can see as you work out or get a summary at the end. Can even upload data to your phone.
