Retired master mariner. 42 years service at sea from apprentice to captain.
Received merchant navy medal (MNM) for meritorious service in 2017 from princess Anne.
In January 2023 I was in hospital for 17 days with a virus ( 10 days of that was in the ICU with oxygen feed and drips etc) I was informed by the consultant that I must exercise daily. I went home and started exercising within our home doing push-ups lifting weights and step-ups. All very lightly at first.
On February 10th 2023 I remembered we had a concept 2 in. the loft which had been there for 20 years. I then started rowing and by 11th September had reached the 1 million metres and then on 12th January 2024 had reached the 2 million metres and feeling fitter and stronger than I had for about 30 years. I look forward to returning to see the consultant about May 2024 for him to analyse the results and improvement since I was fully discharged from his care in May 2023. I would consider that the Concept 2 has changed not only mine but my wife's fitness dramatically in the previous 12 months and we look forward to the various challenges on the Concept app
