Don't bring religion into this, Carvers. You'll have 00 trying to convert me again.

When I was a teenager, some creepy door-to-door types just opened the door and got in our car when I was with some friends at the A & W drive in (cause yea, I am that old). I kicked one of them in the shins and screamed and the guy in the next car drug them out of there. Now I just turn the dog out on them, I'm kind of badass, You would think the crucifix in the front hall would be enough to send them packing.

There was an A&W's drive in at Mason City that we used to eat at all the time! And I'm not that old!
 
So the gym got a new row machine that I'm intrigued by. Seems like a good every other day substitute for running (since I hate running with the passion of the fire of a thousand suns) and an excellent all around exercise. Anybody use these at all? Would I be right in my assumption? I might give it a try tomorrow night.
 
Love the rowing machine, it is a full body exercise and when I did crossfit I was so much better at it than running. Heart for your legs/quads and back/core.

I use it as a warmup whenever I worked out at State Gym, which was once in awhile. I do 2000m and then whatever. 30 minutes of it is a lot if you give full effort on it. It's great for legs and makes me work harder than muscles.

This was the 2nd time I ever used a rowing machine, is yours the same one as the one in the picture? Also, you need to adjust the setting on the side if it's the same model.

I used one back in the day at the ref center at ISU, but that was long, long ago and I doubt I was really using it to maximize my workout and how it should be used.

Depends on what your goals are. I don't really know how you can use the machine wrong unless you were using all your arms or something like that. I'd go 30 min at a pace you feel comfortable with and go from there. I asked about the model because the YMCA at home has a blue one that straps both feet in as one and it's a bit different from the one in the picture.

Picture doesn't show up for me.
