Hey do you actually have a rowing machine? I’ve been looking at them for over a month and I just have no idea what to get. Curious what you have and if you like it.
I used to love using a rowing machine.
After having lost a significant amount of weight, I no longer have the necessary padding in my ass and sitting on one, especially leaning back is excruciating due to a common problem among obese people. My tail bone is permanently fucked.
Never get fat friends. Some things your body recovers from as you lose weight, some things you carry forever.
Dont cheap out too much, really cheap ones have terrible mechanisms which will make you not want to use it. They are big, heavy and kick your arse exercise wise so they tend to get sold second hand quite often. Much better off buying a used higher end machine than a brand new cheap one.
Concept 2s are very popular in gyms.
I got this one from Mr. Bezos, though it appears discontinued.
I really like the workout I get from it, since it does my arms, shoulders, abs, back, and legs all at once. The only issue I’ve had is that I have to wear shoes because the foot things hurt my bare feet, but that’s minor. It was really easy to set up and you get a free plastic water pump with it.
Also, I’m tall and my partner is short but it works for both of us without adjustment which is better than their exercise bike. I also like that it can stand up for storage, which reduces its footprint by like 90%.
