Just Row – Automatic Operation
Just Row is designed for those days when you would rather not push any buttons or pre-set your
workout. Your first stroke will turn on the PM and start recording your workout time and distance
automatically. You may also select Just Row to set up the PM screen before you start rowing.
Note: You must row for at least one minute for results to be saved in memory or on your LogCard.
Just Row allows you to row up to 50,000 meters.
Select Workout
The PM lets you choose or create a wide variety of workouts. You can choose from
the Standard List of pre-set workouts provided on the PM, or you can create
workouts of your own and build your own Custom List. If you have a LogCard, you
can store your five favorite workouts (Favorites) on the LogCard. The Re-Row
function allows you to “re-row” a saved workout (in Memory or on the LogCard)
by rowing against a Paceboat driven by a split-by-split* replay of the saved workout.
You can also race a Paceboat in a New Workout by entering a pace for the Optional
PaceBoat setting when you set up the workout.
*Understanding Splits: Your workout results will be displayed and stored in two
ways: as a final result for the total distance or time, and as a set of points along the
way called splits. The splits show how your pace varied through the workout. If you
select a workout from Standard List, Custom List, or Favorites, the duration of
the split will be set for you. If you set up a New Workout you have the opportunity
to set the split duration. The PM divides your New Workout into five segments, or
splits, unless you alter the split duration during set up. Interval workouts are not
formatted to utilize splits.
Games
Fish Game: Earn points by catching good fish, and avoid losing points by getting
caught by the bad fish! Row harder and your fish swims up. Row easier and your fish
swims down. Each game lasts four minutes. Your Fish Game workout information
(time, distance, pace per 500 meters, etc.) is logged to your LogCard (or PM Memory
if rowing without a LogCard) just like a regular workout.
Racing: (PM4 Only) The PM4 enables you to set up races with up to eight PM4-
equipped indoor rowers without using a computer. This can be done wirelessly or by
using Ethernet patch cables available from Concept2. If using cables, be sure to plug
them in before starting the race.
One person creates the race on their PM4 by following the PM4 menu; others join in
using their own PM4.The race creator is always in Lane 1 and starts the race when
all are ready. Remaining lane numbers are assigned based on order of entry into the
race. The race screen displays names for racers using LogCards.
