This morning I woke up sore all over. Why ? you may ask in gasping breaths!
Well, I usually use the treadmill and then move onto weights, but after using the rowing machine for the first time I never knew it made such an impact on so many of the muscles in the body.
As much as I like using the treadmill, the rowing machine will be I next go to for cardio and full body workout. |

I haven’t used one for years (chronic illnesses means need to be gentle on joints) but I remember them being an absolute killer. Desperate to go on one again but it’s just not worth the week of pain afterwards 🙃 |

The soreness I'm feeling is fantastic! |

I bought one over a month ago for £30 on Facey. A good, was once £300 odd quid model in great condition.
Used it a couple of times and it probably needs dusting now and to have the clothes I dumped on it put away.
Best intentions........🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂🤷♂️🤷♂️ |

"Rowing machines are a great cardiovascular workout - but so damn dull!!!
I (mr) get very bored way before I get knackered on a rowing machine.
Cross trainer or treadmill for me! "
It's a new experience for me and once I got the hang of it, it felt great. |

My trainer always said to do cardio after weights, not before.
how long did you use it for? I tend to put the resistance up to the maximum and row flat out until I had done 500 metres - takes me about 2 mins. I rest for a min and do it again. Though I have seen people rowing for much longer. |

Why before and not after ? I do cardio first because it gets me warmed up and ready for weights. If I did it the other way around I'd lose interest. |

Exercises have very definite areas of your body that will be recruited and active, often in ways you've hardly used them before.
It's usually a rookie mistake to plough in and not to tread very carefully on this clear minefield. |
