F* that assault bike....especially now that, with a new shoulder, I don't have a reason to ignore that goofy looking pos. I've started IJAM and Tabata sprints since I caught those articles. Making 54 feel even older, haha. Thanks Erik, I hate your guts.

Eric, Being an OLD redneck I have another system especially in winter. My Surley LHT is on a fluid trainer in the shop. Out back I've got an 8' Walker Bay dingy I drag behind the sailboat. Both serve the purpose. One I listen to podcasts the other well I listen to nature while I'm out on the water. Great article.

The Concept 2 app on smart phone can be linked to any Concept 2 Erg and makes setting them 1000x easier

More torture devices than exercise machines. I love and own both. In grad school, on a break from Army fitness, I decided to be wild and try out for the rowing team at the University of Michigan - all on baseline level of Erg fitness in my garage. I eeked out a spot on the team and had a great 7 months rowing with people a decade younger than me. I probably ran 10 total miles in those 7 months where I was in a boat or on a C2 15 hours a week. When I jumped back into running I barely lost a step. Great tools for fitness.
