Awesome! That’s the kind I have as well, although I bought mine used. Hope you enjoy it! I got into a routine of using it in the morning and I’m getting the best exercise I have in years
Thanks! I'm definitely looking forward to it. I've been using an elliptical, but it is killing me and I want something a little less hard on myself.
It’s really easy on the joints. My muscles don’t get excessively sore either. You can vary the intensity to pretty much whatever you want. If you go really hard you’ll be drenched in sweat within 20-30 minutes. Go more casually and it feels more like a brisk walk. I’d just recommend watching some videos to learn the form since it’s not a natural movement and almost no one will instinctively do it right without instruction. Getting into a training program helped me get into a routine as well
Yeah, I've used them before and enjoyed them because of the lack of muscle ache. And it's funny because I usually hate exercise, but I find the rowing experience pleasant.
