It’s been 6 days since i bought my rowing machine

@dawn16 I got a yosuda water rower. It was a good price Point to break into it. It has 8 levels of resistance and i only started at the lowest.

@kdhcpeace I was under the impression that steady state would usually be more towards the low 20s. It seems like right now you’re not doing steady state but not really sprinting either, but something in between.

@hakeem_alyazeedi I felt like it was steady for me. I don’t like moving slow or else i feel like it doesn’t do anything for me.

@kdhcpeace Well the point of steady state is to go a long time with efficiency. Google steady state rowing or check out r/rowing which has many posts on it. For me it’s about deciding which way the workouts going to be—a sprint where I’m gasping for air for 2000 meters, or a steady where I’m slowly building up to the finish over like 45 minutes or an hour. They’re both good, for slightly different things.

@hakeem_alyazeedi As someone who has not done cardio in a very long time. 25 minutes is long for me. So it was a steady pace for me.
