Concept 2 Indoor Rowing at Home

I've owned a Model D Concept 2 Row Erg for a few years, I will never sell it, well unless Concept 2 release a better rowing machine, why, because it's the ultimate exercising device one can use. It's industrial, they don't yet make a version that comes in a pink colour scheme (hoo fucking ray) it's a serious bit of kit, it's strong, it's long, it does exactly what it's designed to do, offer an intense indoor rowing workout, it absolutely achieves that aim.

Have I used it everyday since I've owned it?
NO!

I primarily bought the Model D for rehab after a lost the use of both legs, luckily temporarily (3 months), I did my research on low impact exercise equipment, rowing seemed like just the ticket, sitting down, very leg orientated with of course good upper body use as well.

Hello World

I've mainly created this blog to keep me honest as I'm on a bit of a fitness kick, read if you like, though it's not for you, it's for me.

I use the app supplied by Lifespan, the app is not flashy which of course caves the arses in of some out there, but for me as long as the app logs the info of my workouts/walking then that's all I need, in fact I despise bling distractions, give me the bloody info, the Lifespan app does this! The APEX Treadmill counts distance steps and other metrics, I'm a step kinda guy, steps are what I like to increase... The footwear I use for this exercising are running shoes from Under Armour , I also use the UA Map my Walk app which connects to the UA footwear to log my walking exercises, I use UA's Wind Velociti and Sonic 3 shoes. Now, speaking of apps, Under Armour has some great apps, if you wan...

Concept 2 RowErg Maintenance

A more specific post on the Concept 2, this time about maintenance and care. it's for me, a place where I can keep the links and info so I don't have to go searching for it when I need it. Yep I'm sure most of the links will probably lead one back to the main concept 2 website, though I will look for some good youtube videos as well. Model D RowERG Maintenance The Concept 2 is a piece of exercise equipment reasonably priced for the home user and the go to rower for Gyms etc. Rowing clubs have them for indoor training, they are the standard and extremely well built for all users.

Connected Footwear by Under Armour

These Under Armour Velociti Wind shoes are under the category of running on UA's website, I have no idea how the are as far as comfort etc. they are when running. I only walk these days and they are perfect for walking on the treadmill or on the footpath. The thing that really piqued this geeks interest was that they connect to an app, the app shows some great information from your walking and running exercises.
