Professional, collegiate and the rest of us first heard about Concept 2 rower exercise machines back in the early 1980s. The snowfall in Vermont, where Concept 2 rowing machines are manufactured, caused this company to start producing them in response to the harsh elements. That was the driving thought to develop a means by which rowers would not have to wait for the temperatures to get warm to participate their sport. However, they intentionally wanted to construct the very best rowing exercise equipment possible employing intelligent design principles. I have the unique perspective to write about this since I have been a user of a Concept 2 for almost a decade. I will provide details touching on the more notable qualities of this workout equipment.
The options are pretty upfront, you can get the Model D or the Model E. Take note, however, the Model D rowing machine can be bought with separate options depending on your needs. The performance monitors are called, PM3 or PM4, and they accompany each rower. The Model D is accompanied by a PM3, although you can choose to have a PM4 at additional cost. The Model E rower is accompanied by the PM4 monitoring device as standard equipment. The Model D has the least price of $900 and higher price with the upgraded performance monitor.
The monitors, PM3 and PM4, are sleek designs that offer the most important metrics for monitoring your heart rate and rowing stats. The way you can do that with the heart rate is with an additional unobtrusive gadget that you strap across your chest area. You may think it will be noticeable and cause discomfort, but but it's quite the opposite. Once you start use the rowing machine, you will be preoccupied enough to the point where you will not be able to notice it. The info from the monitoring device is actually transmitted to the PM3 or PM4 for processing and display.
The Concept 2 design makes use of a flywheel assembly that you will use to produce the resistance and make you feel that you are rowing on water. There are no safety issues with this as it is totally covered in a plastic assembly. You can set the amount of resistance using a small lever found on the flywheel housing. When you are rowing you will hear the seat go to and fro, the chain movement and the whirringwhizzing of wind from the flywheel, and the noise level is very low. The flywheel revolves when you row, and it creates a soft air movement that is very quiet. But it is much more silent than any fan because you will not be producing the same amount of RPM's as a regular fan does. Unless somebody in the other room is a very light sleeper, you won't be stirring up other people.
You can track your rowing speed, plus other information, from the PM3 or PM4 monitors. It is helpful from the standpoint of your progress to know how far you rowed, how long it took you to do it, or even how fast you can perform a stroke Your approach will largely be based on by your current fitness level and general reason for using the rower. Many rowers who compete at the college level use the Concept 2 to train, so they will obviously pay attention to certain data types.
