    I used to row on a crew team and we practiced on those. What’s up?

    I used one at the gym for a few months, and I received one as a gift about a month ago. I like it.

    I rowed on the crew team in high school. We used those. I hated them. I mean, sure, they are good exercise, and a good rowing simulation, but actual rowing was just so much better. Usually when we were on rowing machines it meant: A. Its winter, B. Its thundering, or the worst, C. We have a 2km/6km/20min test

    It is a good workout, and I can use it to keep my heart rate up while circuit training. Also, having one at home saves me a trip to the gym. I can see why some dislike it. They can be punishingly monotonous!

    Weirdest gift ever! Used one... they seem to be well regarded as rowing machines go, but damn are they boring to use. Also, they are great for leaving puddles of sweat all over the place.

    Yes, they can be boring. Fortunately, I can change things up - intervals, distance, time, etc. - for variety’s sake. Today I went to the gym, because I didn’t want to work the flywheel. :-)
