I have upped my daily row to 12,000 meters (about an hour and 5 minutes). Today I rowed it all in one row, but, on other days, I spread it out over the entire day.

I feel so much better. And the weight just drips off.

My problem with rowing indoors is that the oars keep bumping and scratching the floor and I never seem to get anywhere.

In any exercise, maintaining good form is important to prevent injury and to maximize the benefits of the movement.

I’ve never tried rowing because it just seems like it causes inevitable back strain. I don’t trust myself to maintain the proper form.

You guys can do your indoor rowing while I do my outdoor couch-sitting.

The brand new gym in my DD’s apartment building has a really nice rowing machine section. One room has rowers (?) that use water and make the whooshing sounds. Love it....although I wasn’t on it for very long.

Congrats to you, for your workout regimen.

In college my friend had one of those indoor rowing machines.

It was a butt-kicker and really got his weight down.

I was thinking about one the other day before I even read this.

30 minutes of rowing can burn around 200-300 calories

Or resist those 3 minutes of stuffing your face with a little slice of chocolate cake.

My gym’s rowing machines are behind the area where the gym bunnies do their various bending and stretching on their mats and kettle bell squats, so yeah, I use them on cardio days. Perspiration inspiration.

i love rowing. used to do 45 minutes. for me i either meditate or review class prep. even with dealing with spinal stenosis in the neck and a torn meniscus and no exercise for 6 weeks i am back to 30 min. no speed records now but i feel energized afterwards and any aches are worth it.
