After my daughter was born, I knew my trips to the gym would be few and far between. I bought a Concept 2 rowing machine because it is the most efficient indoor equipment available. I figured 10 minutes here, 20 minutes there, getting back into shape would be no problem. Ha! 10 minutes is time pick up the living room; 20 minutes - do the dishes.
My baby is 16 months old now and I am recommitted to making workouts work. I am only a few pounds heavier than when I got pregnant. I actually lost all of the pregnancy weight and more the first 9 months of breastfeeding but it has been creeping back.
The goal is to get back to "fighting weight" (under 63KG) and more important regain my cardiovascular and muscle fitness. I ran the Fargo Half Marathon in 2006 and had hoped to repeat in 2009. That is looking doubtful now but I want to be in that kind of shape by summer.
I bought RowPRo and set up a training program. So far so good but the demands have been very low.
