My daughter is in crew so for Christmas we got her an erg. For the past two days I’ve been using the erg myself, committing to five days a week of indoor rowing.
My blood sugar this morning was 99! I am reinvigorated!
So my next question is whether anyone is using an erg for exercise and whether y
What the heck is an erg?
It’s a rowing machine. 😄
I have a Concept2! I split time between that and cycling with zwift. ETA: I don't use ERG data or the logbook because I have to record directly on my watch for my erg workouts to "count". My current watch doesn't allow uploading rowing fit files.
How long have you been doing it? My erg data communicates with my watch… I have an Apple Watch.
I have had the rower for several years and have utilized it off and on. The watch I have, Coros Pace 3 just doesn't play nicely unless I connect directly. Coros doesn't have compatibility to upload rowing files. Honestly even connecting directly Coros handles rowing data poorly. Whenever this watch dies I will probably switch to Garmin so I can use Erg Data directly.
Ugh, sometimes at CrossFit.
I rowed in high school too.
Just make sure you have proper form, it’s really easy to mess up your back if you aren’t doing it properly
Totally understand that! The good thing is the erg is for my daughter, a coxswain who is picky about technique. I think she’s almost mean about my posture! Ha ha…
I have a concept 2 folded up in our room that glares at me every day….
You should use it again and join the “Kill Diabetes” team! It’s just me and this dude but I feel good about having joined!
I may just do that. I’m committed to starting up again next week.
If you have Apple Fitness+, they have great rowing programs on it!
Is the Kill Diabetes team on ErgData or straight on the Concept2 site?
The Concept2 site. You can look at the Teams page and find the team!
The teams section on the forum? (Looking on mobile and not finding it)
Edit. I found it. Via Online logbook search for teams. Assuming ErgData will sync it up automatically.
