Rowing Machine

[Peterborough Guy]

I was lucky enough to be given a second hand rowing machine today by a friend of mine.

Its nothing special but better than I had and will let me up my exercise with using different muscles.

I have done 10 mins on it tonight and I feel knackered. This really surprised me as I can do an hour on my bike without feeling it.

I have to say the muscles in my arm, are aching already, so I must be using different muscles to what I do normally.

I'm hoping to build up to an hour on the rowing machine before work in the morning, then about an hour in the evening on my bike.

This could take a bit of a build up, but once I have set myself a challenge, then I have to see it through, the stubborn old sod that I am lol

I found the rowing machine the hardest ,even at my fittest Gary. I'm not sure you need to do an hour on it. I think building up the resistance might be the thing with the rowing. I've just got an exercise bike and am about to set it up. As my tummy is still sore I may wait another week before going on it though. I'm enjoying walking. Doing a 45 minute walk each day plus a 15 minute one before bed, as I've developed restless legs and can't sleep if I don't stretch before bedtime. The challenge will be keeping this up when it rainy, cold, dark and I'm back at work !
