Bought a hydraulic rowing machine off Facebook marketplace and gave it a go tonight. I went about as hard as the machine would let me go and worked up buckets of sweat but my heart rate apparently only averaged 119 with a max of 150... I think that seems too low for how hard it felt but who knows. Machine is nice because I can do modified rows where I don't use my legs at all while my ankle is healing... wish the resistance went a little higher.

Yikes! Same ankle?

I'm like 90% sure it's always the left ankle, mostly because I remember being able to drive every time.
