Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine
About 15yrs ago I worked for a company that provided employees with a small fitness room, it was here that I became acquainted with the Concept 2 rower (model B). I used it daily for almost a year, and it was the best cardio workout I've ever had; I would add that prior to this I had spent many years running, and had even completed a marathon and a couple of half-marathons.
About 6 yrs ago, after lifting weights/light running for several years I wanted to get more serious with my cardio workouts. At a higher body weight, increasing my running hours seemed impractical. I remembered the Concept 2 from years ago, and found a used model C that I purchased. I used the model C for over 4 years and logged about 8-9 million meters on it.
Recently, I decided to upgrade to the model D and have been using the model D for about 3 months now. I like the model D, the PM3 monitor, and the extra little touches Concept 2 has added to improve their product. Regardless of which model you choose, the workouts are very consistent in terms of effort/intensity; the Concept 2 rower provides simply the best cardio workout available.
You might also notice that if you go to a gym that offers Concept 2 rowers, the rower you see in the gym is the same one that is sold for home use. This rower is durable enough to be subjected to everyday use in a busy gym.
I just passed the 10 million meter mark today, and in a couple of days I will have logged 3.65 million meters for the 2010 rowing season (Concept 2 provides an online rowing logbook / clubs / forums; with a rowing season that runs from May 1st to April 30th every year). If you are looking for the best cardio workout there is, get a Concept 2 rower... Concept 2 rowers are the training standard amongst competitive rowers of every caliber, and I was never a rower in high school or college, this is just a little tidbit I've picked up from using the using the Concept 2 over the years. Surprisingly, despite all the rowing I've done on the Concept 2, I've never rowed on the water... but I'd sure like to try.
