Rowing machines - worth getting one? 12:44 - Sep 28 with 1133 viewsghostofescobar

Pondering getting a second hand one. Life changing, or something else to throw your clothes over in the spare room??

Unless you are a rower than needs one to train through winter, waste of money.

Get a treadmill, only fitness machine worth having in your house.

I'd like to say the former, but for me it's definitely the latter. I quite like rowing as an exercise, so would like to do it more, but every time I've used my machine recently it's given me (too much information forthcoming) piles so I have to stop!

Can be great value 2nd hand (because lots of ppl buy them and then don't use them).

So long as you have the space.

What makes you say that?

I'm also looking at getting a rowing machine, the seem far cheaper and takenup less space than running machines? Also every get fit programme I watch says the rowing machine is the best for a round exercise because of a the muscles it uses and the cardio benefit?

I run outside twice a week, 7k to 10k each, so no need for a treadmill. Had a treadmill in the past - did my head in. I need to run in the countryside.

I get really bored with running. Give me a competitive sport to play game and I'll run around all day though.

You'll sell it for half the price you paid, having only used it once in 3 years. Def info.

Check Gumtree. Bought mine for £30 and worth every penny.

if you buy a 2nd hand concept 2, you'll probably sell it for pretty much what you pay for it, if you decide that you don't like it.

They are fantastic if you get on with them, but does take a certain mindset. (I've done British Indoor rowing championships and also done a marathon on one, so plenty of experience).

Big benefit is that its pretty much impact free, so unlikely to cause you too much damage.

key to it is to make sure you have proper technique ( hint, should mainly be using legs, rather than back and arms).

Drink more water - a lesson learned from bitter experience.

I agree with this, we have a rower which has been great for me and my wife. Treadmills i don't get...I can run outside for free which is far more appealing. A bit difficult just to hop outside for a row and the rower works out a lot of the core, arms and shoulders that the running doesn't.

Treadmills are the biggest waste of money ever for me.
