Exercise Gurus -- Rowing Machine

I'm doing high intensity intervals, 500 meters as fast as I can, maximum resistance on the machine, five reps. I have gotten faster, but my recovery period between reps seems longer.
Which is better, faster pulls or shorter recovery? Goal is weight loss and cardio fitness. TIA.

You can just come out, we still accept you.

You will do more distance in shorter time the higher the resistance. It makes your muscles burn more due to the increased resistance though. The resistance across water on the concept 2 is halfway between 3-4 so that's generally where I stay. As a warmup I normally try to row 2000m in the shortest time possible. After that I go into more resistance but slower pace and finish with a sprint at 3-4 for another 2000.

The following link explains where your damper should be coming from an olympic rowing champion LINK
**This assume a concept2 rower. Long story short, max resistence isn't optimal for 99% of people on a rower

If you push yourself harder, your recovery period is longer. If you sprint 400meters or jogged 400 meters, which one would require a longer break before sprinting a second 400meters?

Long distance rowing is the best for both of these. Start rowing 5-10ks. No shame in breaking them up into 1-2ks with a break so your butt doesn't get sore from the sitting

Go for long distance rows

Get a barbell or dumbbell and do some real rows.

I don't use them. Hope this helps.

tabata rows FTW

I've always used the highest resistance. I either do 500 m intervals. Usually 10-12 of them. Or ill do the 10000 meter workout. Highest resistance is 10. I have done the 500m at level 10 around 1:55-2:00. My best ever at level 10 was 1:48
