I already lost 23lbs with just "eating nutritiously." Humm, I will definitely do rowing cardio to lose the last few lbs. I think I need to lose maybe another 10lbs. I'm 5'6 157.4lbs (was ~ 180lbs). Once this semester is over, I'll have about 6 weeks of vacation. Is it possible to use the rowing machine for 5 days a week? Or will my body not be able to hold up? 4 days? 3 days? I also need to gain upper body muscle mass! Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
@xBl00dBrothersX What are you using for a workout plan? Please make sure that you factor a couple of rest days in your plan. Recovery is what makes us stronger.
FWIW, when I was rowing a bunch, I was rowing four days a week. But I'm a 50yo that needs a little more rest and recovery than a 20 something. These days I run three to four days a week and use the erg for cross training.
@TheRunningFatGuy Hi, thanks so much for answering! For the past nine weeks I have not worked out at all. I just eat nutritiously and eat 1200 calories a day. I do take multivitamin, calcium, omega-3 supplements to keep me healthy. My diet also consists of 80-100g of protein a day (so as to not lose precious muscle mass as a result of my diet). I have not worked out because, well, same excuse everyone gives, I can't find the time. But, once this semester is over I WILL definitely use rowing
@TheRunningFatGuy rowing as my primary cardio and bicyling as my secondary and the treadmill as my third. Once I have a flat abdomen I will workout the abdominals and the upper body (upper back, pectorals, triceps, biceps, forearms). But, I only need cardio so that I can lose these last ~ 10lbs of fat and then I won't need cardio anymore. So back then you used to row four days a week Humm, so maybe I can row for five since I'm 20. If I am 5'6, 157lbs, 20, how many cals can i burn in 30 mins?
In my opinion from from sportsman to another we all work hard and some has strenghts in departments others haven't.I am age 50 and tried the Concept 2 6000m,5000m,2000m,1000m,500m and 4 min rowing.See a video on my page 16 to 50 it may surprise you.Good day all.Check Phillip Cameron on the Concept 2 L/weight and see my progress I havn't rowed for 2mth and my rankings has slipped.
***NEED ADVICE*** I have 17lbs of fat that I need to lose. I already lost almost 8lbs from dieting in a nutritious manner (so I was 25lbs fat). I am going to start doing rowing and biking at the gym. Is it "ok" to do both in the same day 3-4x per week? Or should I just only do one per day?
If you are rowing properly you really won't feel like doing any cycling. But do weights too, proper weightlifting burns 600 calories an hour and now, bulkiness will NOT occur
is this on the Hudson river?

If I rowed on a dock I'd end up moving the machine into the lake.
