Concept II Professional Rower

...they do? Hop on a Concept II until their hands bleed and their legs turn to jelly. Something decidedly un-human about that. Oh look, what's that gathering dust at the end of the room? My testament to my days as a lycra clad boatie. My Concept II. This is the most expensive thing I own. It's worth more than my car, and really I should use it more often than I use my car, but at the moment that is just not the case (I smoke, I drink, I eat too much ...
...ago I kept seeing the Concept II adverts in the press. Usually in the sunday newspapers, and I toyed with the idea of hiring one to try and get back in shape. I visited www.concept2.co.uk to have a look, and hiring one cost £50 a month. Well, I could have a gym membership for that, so I abandoned the idea. However, a little angel in the form of my Mum and her credit card came along, and loaned me the money to actually buy my own Concept II, a professional ...

Review of Concept II Professional Rower

...pieces of gym equipment. The Concept 2 Rower is bar far the most superior rower I have used. I use the Model E which is a newer version of the rower and immediately recongised by the frame being higher off the ground allowing a raised seating position which in my opinion is a far more natural and comfortable position. This rower is fitted with a performance Monitor known as PM4, simply the key pad you enter the distance/time and so forth. Being wireless ...
...concept 2, as well as wireless heart rate monitoring. The rower even has a game function which allows you to actually add some enjoyment into your workout, it consists of a simple fish game where you must avoid the larger fish and eat the smaller ones with movement up and down the screen enabled by rowing harder or slowing down.

Would have been nice if there was a heart rate monitor included especially considering the price which is probably too high even considering the ...
