Dulwich park rowing machine

[reggie]

Is it just me or have they revved up the rowing machine in the park. I came back from holiday and nearly croaked.

Please tell me they have added some extra resistance and its not some decline in my faculties.

Take a can of wd40 next time and give the moving parts and joints a spray, if the machine is still tough, then it's your faculties.

Yup... it was me in the park earlier :)-D

I can't swear they've tightened it up (since didn't see them do it) BUT it's definitely a lot harder than it was last month and I haven't had any holidays to weaken on.

You used to see people get on it and row for a while... now, I've rarely seen anyone stick at it for longer than about 30 seconds or 20 pulls. It's definitely more strength than cardio now!
