Stamina Air Rowing Machine

I suffer from "bad" feet and was finding walking for exercise was no longer an option. I researched fitness equipment and rowing seemed to fit the bill for me. Since I didn't want to drop a ton of money on something that may not have worked for me I opted for this budget friendly rower having read great reviews on it. Well, the reviews didn't do it justice. This rower is much better quality than the price would suggest.  Takes up practically no space even when not folded. Assembly was easy too. I am not disappointed. I keep it in my small bedroom & row every morning before work. Thank you for a quality product at a great price!

I bought this a month ago and have used it 2-3 times weekly to supplement my running and other fitness activities. It definitely works different muscles in the legs and has helped me feel stronger as a runner. For me to get my heart rate up, I really have to have a high tempo (30+ strokes a minute). The machine is smooth and not as loud as some reviews would have you believe. The seat is cushioned, but firm. I wear padded biking shorts and loose fitting gym shorts over them. So, your sit bones do get a little sore. I was in good shape before I started using this. Now, after a month, my legs and forearms are finally conditioned to not hurt after using it for 25 minutes.
