rowing machines
 

anyone use these or any other exercise machines at home. im farily strong and fit from been steel worker just want to tone up a bit and shift few pounds around the middle. what would ye reckon would be best

I use the rowing machine at the gym.The machines in the gym have a stalk on the side which goes from 1 to 10.I put it on no4.Then i set the little computer to do intervels and distance.I set the distance to 250km and the intervels to 1 minute rest.I start rowing for the first set at 110 then the computer will count down once you have rowed 250km.The computer will rest/countdown for a min.Then do 105km then 100 then 55.Thats all i do on the rower at the gym.I hope this helps.

i hate the rowing machine with a passion.i only go on it to do my 3 minute warm up before weights.i prefer the cross trainers or treadmill.its gona be your diet and good cardio mate will shift the fat:king:

the rower is a superb all round machine for a work out,it does everything,just must like all exercises keep th correct form,well worth using one,i used to hate it but now i quite enjoy the challenge to beat by distance each time i use it,I manage 2500 m in 10 mins,which gets your heart and lungs pumping

the way i do it gets the heart pumping too. Especialy on the last rep.

:shocked: that must take ages :shocked:

I think he means per hour.

Benni. :cry:

I think he means metres.

The machine counts down from from 1.10 so you just keep rowing to match it. Then the same for 1.05 and so on.

He meant it'd take you ages to row the 250km you mentioned in your first post... thats like Newcastle to Edinburgh :cry:
