    Hey... So I'm 17 and I'm thinking of getting a rowing machine... I'm quite running, cross-trainer blah... But I have not got a lot of upper body strength. I'm wondering would a rowing machine be a good option to combine cardio exercise with building upper body strength? =D GRMA! ;D

    if you were to use a rowing machine correcty you would be getting stronger in your legs , dont buy one as a proper one cost about 2000 and you more than likely dont have that lying around and will probably buy one for 200 that will break easily , moral of the story go to a gym instead and use the rowing machine there and not get stronger in your upper body

    Rowing is 80% legs so you wont get a stronger upper body.

    its a great workout though
