what home gym machine could subsidise for a rowing machine?
March 82010
i am a rower and i cannot buy a rowing machine due to space limitation. i am wondering if i should by an exercise bike or any other type of gym equipment costing around £300. the machine would have to concentrate on thigh muscles and it would be good if it could excercise my arms, back and abs aswell.
I had a Bowflex that had a seated row attachment with a sliding seat, mimicking a rowing machine. It folded up, too, so it didn’t take up a whole lot of space when I wasn’t using it. Check ebay for used Bowflex Ultimate machines- you can probably pick one up for about $5-700 or so. Check out Bowflex’s website, www.bowflex.com. Personally, though, I’d go with a good exercise bike (or bicycle) for cardio, and some free weights for strength exercises (if you have the room).
