Rowing Challenge

[Peterborough Guy]

Any fancy joining me with a rowing challenge.

I have just agreed to do a rowing challenge at the gym that I now belong too.

The challenge is 10,000 metres in a hour.

I should be able to for this as I did 5000m in just 24 mins which I surprised myself and I have to say this is a slow time.

So whose up for the challenge?

Most I have spent on there is 5 mins in which I did 1200 m. xx

I actually enjoy the rowing, especially when theres a guy next to me on the other machine that is struggling lol

I'll give it a go but will need to build up to it. I went on a rowing machine for the first time yesterday but only did 5 mins. I had the setting on high (10)to start with then my DH came and changed it to 5 for me. Not till he'd finished laughing at me struggling though! What level should it be set for for the challenge?

 

[Peterborough Guy]

what ever level u are happy with, but dont over do it, and cause yourselves injurys

 

[Miss Tickle]

I deffo need to start on low level and build up for this. Same goes for the weights on the machines. I'm surprised at how weak I am !

Good luck, Mr P G between this & your bike riding you will need some serious attention to your saddle sores I would love to do it but I have a medical condition called chickenitis Will sponsor you though, if you are doing it for charity, gorgeous xxx

 

[Peterborough Guy]

Ah just doing this one for fun and to get a bit of publicity for the gym in the local newspaper, you can sponsor me for the bike ride if you want, I have to say Im not looking forward to that one now lol

And my 'wide load' backside has plenty of padding on it, so no need for any attention.
