I have a love/hate relationship with the rowing machine - when I switched gyms and they don't have good rowers then I realised how much I missed it!
Thankfully my other gym (yes a member of 2 gyms) does have a rower, it is a good rower and oh man does it feel good to be back on and rowing!
Rowing works your entire body, from your back and shoulders right down to your legs - take a look at this picture to show just how many muscles it works!
It is the perfect exercise to improve your endurance and increases heart function. It is also a good calorie burner so if you are looking to lose weight this is the machine for you!
It is also a low impact exercise so if you are looking for something that is going to be less of a strain on the joints again this is an ideal exercise.
Overall it is a total body workout - I do around 20-30 minutes on the rower on level 9-10, the more resistance the stronger the pull and the more you will work!
