If you have a Concept2 Indoor Rower with a PM5 or later, then myRowPro is your key to getting the results you want. Check out these great features: • Runs in your iOS phone or tablet. • Create and row set pieces, training plans or custom rows. • Connects to your Concept2 PM5 via Bluetooth. • Just tap your screen to set up a row. • Track your progress onscreen while you row. • Auto-saves each row in your online logbook. myRowPro is the perfect companion for your Concept2 Indoor Rower. It connects to your Concept2 PM5 via Bluetooth - just turn on Bluetooth on your PM5, then pair it to myRowPro. Then use myRowPro to set up the row you want on the Concept2 PM5, and start rowing. While you row, myRowPro shows an onscreen rowing course, plus a handy PM twin and a dual stroke-by-stroke chart that tracks your pace and heart rate. myRowPro automatically captures every stroke while you row, and when you finish it uploads the row to your myRowPro online logbook. There you can see splits and charts of your performance, and you can analyze your progress vs. previous rows. You can also export your rows to your Concept2 online Logbook. myRowPro has a professional training system with hundreds of training plan templates for weight, fitness, and competition from beginner to elite, all created by training guru Jon Ackland of Performance lab International. There’s even a wizard to accurately tailor each training plan to your intentions, abilities and physiology, so it’s just right for you. Training plans make a big psychological difference to your rowing. We all intuitively get the difference between ‘will I row today’ and ‘what am I scheduled to row today’. It’s much more likely you’ll actually do the row if it’s part of a training plan. You can see what training workout you’re scheduled to do each day, and myRowPro sets it up directly onto your Concept2 PM5 for you to row. And of course, your results are logged automatically stroke by stroke so you can analyze them later. Welcome to myRowPro, and all the best with your rowing.
