I think most days after I do OHP, I've felt like I got a crick in my neck, so I think I'm doing something wrong. Idk what though, any common mistakes in form or something that cause this?

Do you think the trireme of revolution can propel itself to victory? Nay! Without our daily diligence, our sweat and concerted labor, the ship of liberty will stagnate in the doldrums of liberalism!

Get on that rower and push yourself, for yourself and for all our futures!

And make sure to stretch! Stretch before! Stop 10 minutes in and stretch again!

Not sure if this is the right place.

I'm looking for a foldable treadmill with a tablet stand. I hope it is sturdy enough that won't undo itself, and the motor just don't burnt out once pass the warranty. I have a budget of about £200. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

I've heard of Lose It and My Fitness Pal. Anyone have experience with them or other ones?

Edit: Sorry about the laggy response, my shifts have been longer lately.

No idea where to start I'm so confused as to what to immediately cut out of my diet and what exercises for a beginner to start with?

What should I start eating?

I'm 6 foot or 6 foot 1 and 195 pounds with a dad bad right now that I want to at least turn into some muscle

Late night, slept in, etc

Feeling better, though with march and two death anniversaries coming up that will most likely change. Still sticking to the exercising though, it helps me clear my head an refocus things. Back to 30 minutes at 22ish strokes/min, otherwise that's all I have to report. Check on your loved ones and look after yourselves too meow-hug

I didn't do any rowing yesterday because grief and depression are real bastards. The last few days have been rough, though I got in 20 minutes of rowing today.

Slept in today but when I (eventually) rolled out of bed I got right to my 30 minutes of rowing! It's looking like winter might actually make an appearance so biking to and from school might be off the table until it melts, but I'll gladly take that if I can savour an increasingly rare walk in the snow.

I'm really happy with sustaining 30 minutes a day, and it's looking like I'll be able to start biking more places thanks to climate change (no snow in February is freaking me out) but at least I can get some outside activity in before the wildfire smoke season starts up!

Sorry about the doomer vibe in this post but c'est la vie if you'll pardon my French

My bouldering gym got one of those cute little library boxes where you can take a book out and put a different one in it's place. Time to fill it with theory lenin-laugh

30 minutes just keeps getting easier and going by faster. This is definitely the longest I've stuck to any exercise program and I'm feeling results! arm-Lyuriarm-R

Another day, another 30 minutes of rowing. Not much else to report, but I am happy with my streak of hitting 30 minutes each day!

Got to it a little earlier today, tried turning up the resistance and did 30 minutes without stopping! Feeling it in my legs but I think it was the right move, see y'all tomorrow!

I'm back at it with another 30 minutes of uninterrupted rowing! I deliberated over restarting the count vs just picking up where I left off, I decided I'll just continue where I left off since I'm the one doing these posts and I'm mad with power.

Also I did get some hiking in over the weekend and was lucky enough to see some cool birds including a hawk that flew right by me!

Got to it a little late due to classes and schoolwork getting in the way, but I did a solid 30 minutes with only token water breaks! I might have to pull an all nighter to get this paper done so we'll see what tomorrow looks like. Also I'm traveling for a wedding this weekend so I might miss a couple days, I'll have to see what happens, but that's a problem for Saturday

Got to bed late last night (the joys of working in the evenings) but I got up this morning and did 20 minutes of rowing with only a couple quick water breaks. Slowing down my stroke is going to make it a lot more sustainable I feel.

My issue with rowing is that you have to stop to drink water, unlike treadmill or biking where you can just slow down but keep moving. But otherwise I much prefer rowing to running, and stationary bikes don't feel the same as just riding my bike.

I tried out slowing down to a more steady pace today, ended up doing my 20 minutes without a break! (other than stopping briefly to drink some water) I'm already noticing differences since I started, the first few days my core was pretty sore but now that's gone completely!

I didn't get my workout done this morning since my dog chose today to cuddle but after class I hit the rower for 20 minutes! Comrade @[email protected] gave me some excellent advice regarding pacing and avoiding burning out too early which I'm looking forward to implementing in my next workouts! I'm in this for the long haul, I've spent too much of my life out of shape and I don't want to have the health issues that comes from being over weight and not exercising

Until tomorrow! arm-R
