Had several days off this last couple of weeks due to work commitments and backache.


So I had cut down on the rowing and reviewed the rowing videos.

I think the other part is the rowing is starting to improve my posture and therefore re-adjusting some of the muscles in my back.

Any how just completed 20 km and starting to get back into my rhythm.

Next goal 250,000 meters - 130,000 to go

Vendee Globe Challenge = 41,855 Km
Current total 120 Km to go = 41,735 Km

I also lost 3 pounds this week :)

Just finished 9 Km today.

That means I have completed over 100,000 meters :) 100 Km.

Next goal 250,000 meters

Vendee Globe Challenge = 41,855 Km

Welcome to My Concept 2 Blog

I just received my Concept 2 Rower last Monday 2nd April and so far I am very impressed.

It was easy to set up.
Easy to start rowing on.

I bought this to help improve my fitness, lose weight and manage my sugar levels.
I am in my mid 40's overweight and and basically dont do any exercise.

Dont like tread mills or static bikes but enjoyed the rower at the gym.

My goals are :-

1) Improve my sugar control.
2) Get fit.
3) Lose weight.

So far I have done over 30Km and have set myself the personal goals of :-

1) Rowing round the world (Vendee Globe Challenge = 41,855 Km).
2) Rowing a half marathon (21,097 m).
3) Rowing a marathon (42,195 m).

I will be documenting my trails and success's over the coming week and keeping a running totals for the Km's I have rowed.

Vendee Globe Challenge = 41,855 Km
Current total 31 Km to go = 41,824 Km
