Rowing machine times

[RoyalStallion]

I walk a bit but otherwise I’m not good at keeping up exercise, it’s been decades since I went to a gym or ran.

Ive decided, obviously, this needs to improve. I got on a rowing machine this morning. 2k in just under 12 min, I felt quite energetic! Looking online this is apparently appalling and expected for a 90yr old man!

Would others mind sharing their rowing time when they started to help me gauge my fitness? It feels surprisingly bad….

Another 30 minutes done this evening.
Im trying to understand the stats. From what I can gather I can row as well as a 90 year old novice 😄
If I try and speed up at all I lose any form I might have so am going to stick to the slow 30 mins each time until the stroke feels more natural. At the moment I am having to constantly go through the steps. It’s not coming naturally at all.
Am enjoying it though.
