    What is a good time on a concept 2 erg for a female heavyweight over 500 meters ? I am looking to improve my times but I have no idea what a good time is over this distance.

    What time do you have? My best time is 5:59 but I haven't been able to beat it yet. I am considered the fastest for my team but there are some people that are faster than me.

    I am not familiar with the concept of heavyweight, as I am just a high school rower. However, maybe you can expand on it and I may give you a better indication of your time?

    A respectable time for 500 meters would be around the 6 minute mark. What is your personal best for this distance?

    I have not tried indoor rowing. Is it as fulfilling as the water rowing? I have only tried water rowing and I'm so delighted in the experience!

    You want to be hitting ~6 mins.

    @Coffee: Indoor rowing on an ergo can be compared to running on a treadmill. As far a sheer performance goes you can often be better and go harder but it is less fulfilling. The reason is party due to the tedious nature of your surroundings.
