    Fark looks a killer, I like  😁  Mikght be the lunchtime attack tomorrow.<br />
    <br />
    Those mintutes go really really long when you are rowing those 1000m intervals, I imagine they will be evern longer on this one...  Also must do a warmup next time for that interval thing.<br />
    <br />
    Weight down to 102kg, am going to try that no carbs at night thing for month and see what happens to weight.  Tried on my old Valley blazer, circa. 1992, and it fits again - my manager one from a year or two back now like a trench coat!!

    thing I don't get is what drives you on?  In order to push myself that hard in any cardio activity I need to be doing it for a reason, training for a triathlon etc, where I can see the progress towards the goal, I can't do it just to 'be fitter'.  Weights and a bit of cardio I can do but that's because I like to look good!

    You get hooked, and always want to better your times - with me that has happened anyway.  Get down times when you can't be arsed, but not too many.  the online rankings also help.  You see you are 4 seconds off beating another 5 blokes, so you go hard out to beat them, and so on, and so on...<br />

    Weekend in Taupo with Mrs BartMan playing squash, and thought that woud be it, no exercise for me, but right beside the squash club, the Taupo Events centre and their 'fitness suite'.  <br />
    So for $12, had a row on Saturday and Sunday, and even used their treadmills, to WALK a 20 minute warm down.<br />
    <br />
    Sooo, Saturday 6000m  21:07.5  a new PB for that distance by about 30 seconds or so I think.  Also beat my 5000m time on the way past to the 6000m by a couple of seconds, so was pretty stoked.  Then walked on the above mentioned treadmill and cramped a beauty in both calves.  <br />
    <br />
    Sunday, did some interval training stuff - would row hard out for 30 seconds, and then just row for 90 seconds.  Did a half hour row, and covered 8242 - which is 40 odd metres off my PB for the distance.  Treadmill again to finish, no cramps this time!<br />
    <br />
    Weight got under 100kg for the first time this weekend too - jumped on scales before row - 101kg, after row, 99kg.  Second day was 98kg after the row, and 101 gain pre row!!<br />
    <br />
    Also saw hori Bop of all poeple there, and he weighed in at a sevete 170kg...

    lunchtime row.  That 30 second sprint / 90 sec cruise thing again for 30 munutes.  8269 - season best, and 19 metres  off PB.  Should have started a sprint a minute out, but think I would have died.<br />
    <br />
    Willie - expect my real weight is that 101-102 still!!  but a couple of kilos worth of weight loss in sweat during a 20 minute and a 30 minute row.  Goes to show, drink shed loads of water boys and girls!!

    morning paddle  5000m  19:31.3.  So much less 'ooomph' when you row in the morning - guess your bodsy still not woken up.

    Bartman.  How have you found rowing for pure fat loss?  I imagine you actually put on a bit of muscle rowing, but burn more fat.Â

    I don't know how good it is, but since January 2004, I have now lost about 18-20kgs.  Although, the last 10kgs has been thanks to eating right too.  Or righter, rather!  That has also coincicded with me rowing upwards of 50,000 a week too, instead of 30 a week.<br />
    <br />
    Is a good aerobic, or anerobic exercise, depending how hard you row.  <br />
    <br />
    DOn't think you gain too much muscle - lots of strength I expect though!!
