Started indoor rowing daily ~1 month ago. Already able to extend my sessions’ duration by 2x. Love it for how low impact and yet holistic of a workout it is. Any rowing maxis here with some tips or experience? Erg Concept2 if that matters

Any tips on how to endure longer row sessions? I sometimes warmup rowing for a couple of minutes and it starts to feel rather uncomfortable.

Also not a big fan of the leg straps loosening quite easily on most machines I’ve tried.

So I've just watched some Dark Horse tutorials as recommended by @puls, and they explain that the straps loosening are symptomatic of the rower wrongly pulling on those straps using their feet during the recovery.

Here's the video at the relevant timestamp.
