Good News And A Handy Build Demo

I found this video online showing another water rower being unpacked and built, I thought it might be helpful.
meanwhile I've reached day 10 and did a fairly easy 3 miles followed by a tiring last one, so 4 miles today in 38 minutes. 
Feel more confident using the machine it is getting easier too. 
Day 11 A bit disappointed that I weigh the same as I started, but the tape measure shows a whopping 2 inches off my waist since the day I started on the rower, not bad! 
Very happy with that result and just the boost I needed. I'm starting to get results! 
I've passed the pain point too, not having all the trouble with my back hips or knees now and I am really enjoying the sessions on the rower.
Another 6 miles added during the last 2 days, so I've now rowed  34.5 miles!

Day 8 I'm Still Standing!

Relaxing With The Dogs

A beautiful walk with the dogs, 3 miles on the rower, 31 minutes and 24 seconds, getting better!
Total mileage is now 24.5 miles

Day 6

Just 2 miles today, feeling tired after a walk and I'm a bit achy, so it must be working, average now 9 minutes per mile..
Some pain in my lower back, knees and hips as expected, I am hoping it lessens with time.
I've travelled 17.5 miles! 

Rower Interrupted day 4

I managed 4 miles but a massive 1 hour 13 minutes, it took me much longer than usual because my Mother phoned, so I spent half an hour rowing slowly so she wasn't worried by my heavy breathing, my hips were aching by the time I'd finished but once I got off the rower and moving around I was fine. 
I'm starting to feel a bit more energetic and am enjoying using the rower.

I'm using the WaterRower A1 Home Rowing Machine - Ash / Aluminium. WaterRower offer a number of options when it comes to the design and finish of your machine; both wood and steel. 
Wood has been chosen due to its marvellous engineering properties, primary amongst these is its ability to absorb sound and vibration, enhancing the WaterRower's quietness and smoothness of use. 
Each machine has been hand- finished with three coats of Danish Oil giving a deep lustre and warmth to the wood.
Now travelled 11.5 Miles!

WaterRower A1 Home Rowing Machine Day 3

We had spent the afternoon out on the loch on the Kayaks, so I was already tired when I got to the rower! 
However, today even after a few hours sea kayaking I managed 1.838 miles in just over 18 minutes, not bad, legs feel like jelly and hips are painful... must keep going! 

A day out on the Loch

 Total distance travelled so far 7.5 miles

I am using The WaterRower A1 home rowing machin, designed to mimic the movement of a boat over water and bring you a real rowing experience in the comfort of your own home. 
Thanks to a unique mono-rail the machine encourages natural and fluid motion and helps practice good rowing technique. 
Natural resistance is delivered by the water in the sealed tank, you can adjust this by adding more or less water, at the moment I have mine on the minimum level.
The console display will provides you with feedback on stroke rate, the total number of strokes, rowing duration, distance, intensity and more. 
The rowing machine has been handcrafted from solid ash wood and features pivoting footplates with adjustable straps. 
It also can be folded up vertically for easier storage when not in use and has transportation wheels.
I keep mine stood up in the corner of the room, it doesn't take up much room at all.
